1st fight, Conor had hair and Dustin was bald, Dustin got K.Od
2nd fight, Dustin had hair and Conor was bald, Conor got K.Od
Coincidence?? I think not!!
Nothing to do with the bald head. If you look.more closely you'll noticed that Conors legs were shaved for the second fight. This made Dustin's leg kicks more effective.
Conor O'Callaghan always gotta be the one lame ass person 🤦🏻♂️
Ok now I want to see a “Bald people get KO’d” highlight reel 😆
Khabib nurmagomedov - no hair, pound for pound undefeated champ?
@@AbdulMalik-oh4mm no because he walks in with chest hair
McGregor was top of the class at the Nate Diaz school of checking leg kicks
Beautiful comment
😂😂
Haha
He graduated a valegkicktorian
The interesting thing is that the *kicks* discussion was as old as 2015 when Conor was matched up against Aldo.
When you're winning your the man once you start losing they call you washed up. The fans are fickle.
Not fickle, just lots and lots of ignorance from fans. Most "fans" get caught up in the cult of personality of someone and dont really know anything about them or the sport they participate in.
Thus when that person is doing well "they are the greatest" and when they go through downswings or low periods "they are washed up". Those types of "fans" are just reacting emotionally are dont care about using logic or reasoning to assess the situation.
@Thomas Dauphan I don't think Poirier's a better fighter. I think Conor got too confident in the first round and thought Dustin was going to gas out in the second round, and he made the mistake of letting his guard down, it cost him dearly.
Not washed up. He wasn't that good in the first place, i always said it.
@@TheMHB199 Not that good? Really? First double champ in the UFC history.
@@jamesdeleon2784 Double champ when one was Alvarez who (meaning no direspect) is one of the most subpar champions in recent history. Wouldn't even be top 10 in todays lightweight division. He just used good timing jumped the queues and got his shot. Any decent fighter can pick and choose their fights like that. He got pushed up the ladder for a shot because of his character and not because of how good he was.
Holding multiple belts is one of the most overrated achievements in modern combat sports. It's like a buzzword for promotors etc but in terms of actual difficulty and achievement holding 1 belt with 3 defences is quite simply better than holding 2 and never defending.
I could give a list of reasons why he isn't that good and is one of the most overhyped fighters in UFC history. Let me know if you want me to.
Fun fact: Dustin has never lost to the same person twice!
Not for long
Hope he doesn't do a trilogy fight with Conor then
Khabib
Either Conor whats your point?
@@MP-cc5rv connor would still get smashed. He dont have the heart

#Streamer Bless
Ever since the Mayweather match, Conor simply abandoned his footwork and tried to muscle opponents down.
The boxing match spoiled Conor
this 100%
That's actually a good point. I noticed that he was basically just chasing after Dustin and over extending trying to get a quick finish
@@wolfgangandrewx2416 the footwork at 145 and now seems like two different person.
Nope, his weakness against leg kicks existed even back in the first fight. Dustin was having allot of success back then and now, Conor even admitted that it was his first time being hit in the calf with those calf kicks.
He cannot be as fluid in 155 as he was in 145 because of added weight
He went from a dynamic versatile striker and a master of distancing to a boxer. Played right into Dustin's hands who is too good to give an opening like that.
exactly
Fook you. Khabib is scared of Conor. He gets Ko'd 60 secs. in the rematch.
@@peasantarcher7053 this guy spoke facts man this conor couldnt beat anybody in the top 5 hes boxing in mma
dustin did get clipped. conor won the boxing exchanges. that was not an issue. he played into dustins mma game not being able to avoid the takedown and the leg kicks of course.
@@knuckle-sandwichmma681 nothing stemmed from that takedown conor got right back up reversed and had some really nice clinch control with the shoulder strikes knee to the body and the elbow on the separation but conor just boxing got predictable and dustin started countering with those calf kicks
Conor comes home limping.
Conor Jr: Who da fook is dat guy???
😆
😂😂😂😂😂
Savages 😂
It was Duke, and he never forgot what happened to his brother!
I thought the old man from the pub was gonna come out with a steel chair
lol yeah mate
Further proof that Conor doesn’t have the same power against non midgets
@@liammorgans7329 he knocked out Dustin your absolute idiot 😂 just be quite son
@@biggiesmalls5895 yeah at 145 with a big weight cut conor could knock dustin out faster but at 155 the cut aint as drastic and he showed he could take a better shot conor has been rocked by lighter hitters as well like the first nate fight a 1 2 combo by nate rocked him and is what made him shoot for the take down on nate which led to the finish conor lost get over it doesnt mean his career is done he could bounce back still
@@GC-co1jb so what if it was 145? Dustin wasnt shorter in height making him a midget was he? lol Conor also fought at 145 and cut a lot of weight yet nobody there KO'd him. Conor legit didnt land many of his power left straights in this fight, I think maybe 2 or 3 and Dustin did get rocked, he said he was hurt and that he could have been in trouble had Conor capitalized on it
Fun fact: This is the first time Mcgregor got TKO’d in his entire MMA career
Everyone knows that lol
Naw that was the Nate Diaz L
Too much whiskey and coke made his head soft
@@abcbizarre that was a submission
@@abcbizarre No?
This is why I love MMA , you can never count out anyone.
I’d count out James Vick all day long
Conor just needs to have more than just a left hand. Time to evolve. "Mark my Words".
But at least he came back. I'd like to see him vs Tony next.
Losing is fine but where is his ability to take kicks or punches? Tony kicks poles is why he can survive 5 rounds of brutal beating.. this man clearly not getting beat up in his sparring sessions.. he probably hired few yes men to get beat up by him.. its a embarrassing he can't even take few leg kicks by Dustin.. i think he has enough skills but his body is not trained to take the punishment..
@@lunatikite7121 Have you ever ben Calf Kicked hard by a pro fighter mutiple times?
Would rather see McTapper vs. Gaethje
@@yessir640 but Conor is meant to be an elite fighter. Him not knowing how to check and his Shit ass coaches not even identifying it or giving him anew strategy after round one are trash too.
@@kingindanorth0072 when you are in a karate stance it is really hard to check kicks takes a lot of time to turn your leg outward and face your shin to check not saying Conor didn't make a mistake but he should've ben more aware of what the damage of Calf Kicks are capable of
Crazy how everyone counted someone like Dustin out who has been at the top of LW for awhile now. I hope this shows ya’ll to never count someone out, Dustin deserved this.
Aren’t u counting out mcgregor then?
@@lonniefisher7365 Honestly easier to count out Conor, his last win was against Cowboy he isn't near top 5 anymore. Meanwhile DP has been beating top 5, and former champions left and right in the last 5 years.
That's almost always been the story with Dustin, the underdog with no chance. Holloway he was an underdog, this one, and almost every time he has risen to the occasion.
Chandler as well.
Well that’s impossible unless you’re indifferent.
Unless you’re indifferent, you have to count someone out
The lower calf kick was by far the biggest thing Dustin had added to his game and it made all the difference, incredible
I think he threw it in the first fight too
Bas Rutten predicted this very thing. He knew Porier's calf kicks would compromise Conor
@@gregorykavivya875 this! Yes conors wide stance, Bas and I called it. I read that. Gaetje would kill it even more. Conors weakness is exposed.
credit Mike Brown
I think the big takeaway is that Dustin can now take conor's best shot.
If dustin was able to do this in the first match we could have seen him win that in a similar fashion as well.
Damn 1M views?! You deserve it, you’ve been providing some of the best cerebral commentary and breakdowns for a while now.
Conor: You’re in for a treat
Yes we were, we were indeed
It was a Masterpiece.
He gave it to Dustin in the first round. In the clinch. In the pocket. But hey after those beautiful leg kicks he was done
It felt like Conor thought they'd just walk in & he would hit 1 clean left & KO Dustin. I feel his team got exposed tonight.
Who else are to blame besides coner?
His team led him down multiple times now. This McGregor FAST guys seem to me like scam artists. Did you see him climb that stairs on the cliffs in Portugal. His legs looked fooked there. I have tons of issues with my legs and when I saw them it was clear as day. They overworked him
@@theeagle2375 those who overrated Conor.
@@yuliangeorgiev Curious as to what specifically you saw in that video?
@Daniel Rodriguez I blame the Mayweather fight for starting this trend towards boxing over his previous style and the long periods of inactivity. Look at him fighting Alvarez (last fight before Mayweather) and look at him now. Even at lightweight then he had this classic Conor style of fighting. Now he looks like he's trying to box, but with his feet in something resembling the old Conor.
"He's now one of the top dogs of the LW division" ???? Dustin has always been a top dog, he was ranked 2 coming into this fight lol
i know lol
It's the conor hype that makes people say that. Mcgregor has done nothing outside 145
He should be ranked number 1 only guy to beat him is Khabib. Baffling why justin is above him when Poirer KOd him
Yeah man..people tends to forget that dustin is the ONLY fighter that ever being close to finish khabib
I mean he's essentially the top guy in this "tournament." Dustin, Oliveira, and Chandler are the top guys.
Ariel said Conor is underrated but Dustin was the one being slept on. It’s a shame :(
@Monotone Kev you're definition of a fool. because he lost hes overrated? gtfo
@@knuckle-sandwichmma681 connor also lost to a fighter with double digit losses
Conor underrated?
The Weasle's breakdowns are always a must after fight nights.
Yes but not his predictions
@@kokanedawkins238 correct. Sometimes I'm happy when he gets it wrong.
@@kokanedawkins238 But he did said if Dustin wants to win he needs to capitalise on leg kicks.
“Nervous” Dustin Poirier has ascended to mythical status. Well done 💎
How.. Dustin has been fucking shit up since they fought I was 50/50 on this
Right next to " Sea level Cain"
It’s hot sauce Dustin Poirier
@@-Macx I was gonna say that too haha, Hot Sauce Dustin
I wasn't sure why people thought he looked more nervous than usual. Theres no real evidence of that.
Wow
Dustin needs to start his own whiskey company because he landed a Proper twelve punch combo on McGregor's face
Good one 😀
🤣
Youd get your ass kicked properly
😂
@@justinsullivan4682 bro he's not an mma fighter, this is a stupid comment
That wasn’t a TKO it was a KO !
Both of these guys came in and put on a great performance. Connor looked really good, but Dustins been much more active the last couple years and came prepared with a strong chin! All the respect in the world to these guys, and thank you for the entertaining fight! 💯
He needs to bring back that dork in the park with the ponytail in his camp. Too boxing heavy.
Lol
Spot on
Got some butt touchin in the park to do fo sho
Hahahahah. Playing touch but with the dork in the park
I feel like everyone has hyped up his counter and left hand that it's become his main tool. Ever since the Mayweather fight it seems like they binned the Gunnar Nelson karate style that he used to fight with.
It's not looking good career wise imo. Ever since the Alvarez fight in 2016 where he was dominant, he's had 3 fights. 1 with Khabib, 1 with Cerrone (who is now on a 4 fight losing streak), and Dustin.I feel he's become this attraction that Dana throws out once a year to get a big payday. Might work a few more times, but he's having long periods of inactivity. Poirier in comparison has been active throughout those 4 years.
Dustin Poirier is now an undisputed hall of famer. U can’t argue it anymore. Phenomenal
He was indisputable hall of famer way before this match, what are you talking about?
@@Killjoy1204 he needed to seal it. He did tonight.
@@user-xo7go4rr7g He sealed it when he beat Holloway.
Agreed
@@ilikelife5401 he beats khabib hes top 5 all time. People forget he almost had that choke in there fight but dustin was worn out and didnt keep it deep enough.
Conor said in his interview after the fight that he has no excuses, poirier is a hell of a fighter
Mcchicken fans have the excuses
@@supremeleaderarmy9164 He says no excuses and makes a statement like that but then starts making excuses
Great analyses! Hats off to Dustin and Mike Brown as well. Perfect execution. Perfect gameplan. Its so well deserved that even as a Mcgregor fan I am nothing but happy for him!
Poirer, like stipe, has the “sleep on me” affect. Something about them just makes people sleep on them
I think it has something to do with the fact that at first glance they're just average looking people, not overtly intimidating to someone who doesn't already know them. But then there's also the fact that people seem to always underestimate the underdogs no matter how many times they're proven wrong.
It's insane how people disregarded Poirer before this fight he easily has the best resume in the lightweight division
@@alphacraig2001 They don't have a gimmick or a way of standing out from how they fight.
Khabib- has his wrestling
Conor- knockout counter power
Ferguson- Insane pressure and chin
Ect.
Dustin is more well rounded much like Stipe. Excellent in all areas but not exceptional in any single area.
introverts
@@jacobmcdermott55 especially now
I am absolutely mind blown Conor & his team weren't prepared for calf kicks. Dustin's team practically told everyone there plan (kicks/clinch). So disappointing.
After gaethje vs Tony I’m surprised everyone isn’t putting it in their arsenal. It’s seems like it’s the new meta on the horizon for strikers
Volkanovski did the same in the Max Holloway fight
Tbh Kavanagh reminds me of Rondas coach sometimes, he acts like the sun shines out of Conors ass and complacency is costly. Conors always been talented but the game plan was lacking.
@@sumo._ Spot on comparison. Kavanagh is a clown
@@sumo._ His coach is pretty much a yes man, let Conor's clout get to him.
Thank god! I’ve been waiting for this video to drop.
Remember when McGregor threw a left at an old man in a pub for declining his shitty whiskey?
Good one / being drunk and 🥊 punching an old man = karma 💀 is at the front door to see you Conor
the OLD man should have turned around and knocked his azz out!
Yeah he couldn’t even knock him out
Conor McGregor wants an immediate rematch with Dustin Poirier for the title. He just got his ass kicked and doesn't deserve it He's only had two UFC lightweight fights his whole career. Justin Gaethje is right about him.
@@danakristal7760 FACTS.
Boxing ruined Conor’s style. He’s so much more basic, stiffer, doesn’t kick anymore, and overall seems like a shell of what he should be.
Facts, ever since he started fighting like a heavy pressured boxer it’s gotten him in nothing but trouble.
@@lev7998 And since when is that?
Yeah that Is because he's delusional about Floyd fight, and has only Yes Man around him that never reality-check him. And to be honest Is new boxing style is just trash and way worse that what he had. I mean Who are those idiots in Ireland making an agile counter puncher into a flat footed stalky boxer with his hands so high It looks stupid and can't even move or counter??? I think he Is finished
This is what I hate about the mma community. Leading up to the fight yall said that he was looking great an this is the best version of Conor and bla bla bla. And now that he got ko’d y’all say he’s been fighting like shit and he is a shell of his former self or some shit like that. He was the same Conor Mcgregor as always stop taking credit away from Dustin
Indeed
All the body language experts who said he looked nervous and didn't wanna be there are real quiet now lol
You mean at the press conference?
Pretty sure Dustin said himself after the fight he wasn't feeling it til he was in the cage
@@politicallycorrectindividu2867 yeah he said he hated everything that happened the last few weeks but the fight itself was good.
nah, as you can see by you commenting under a _weasle_ vid.
I'll admit I didn't give him any chance to win tonight, but I'm happy for him
That was some of the best fight commentary and analysis I have ever heard. I learned a lot. Well done.
Then you should learn about Rick and Duke
Good analysis, you can tell when a commentator has fighting experience. 👊
Dustins leg kick did that to Conor....
Now imagine Gaethje's kicks.
And weasel counted them out too
@@cloudripper4096 yeah man. I think being a fan skews ur perception a bit.
he is orthodox though not the same
Justin isn’t a southpaw, remember
Dustin knocked Gaethje out already but I’d love to see them scrap it up again
Planting his feet really turned against Conor.
Yeah I noticed as soon as he changed his style to a more boxer oriented stance, he lost that fluidity that made him champ to begin with.
@@Sheamusownscena10 agreed.
@@Sheamusownscena10 100%
@@Sheamusownscena10 wish he never went to boxing FS
@@Sheamusownscena10 he had too, his old style was too stamina taxing
I was waiting on this video and Teddy Atlas's video on this fight. Thanks Weasle!! Always the best.
I told everyone Dustin has more to prove coming into this fight and is gonna put his life on the line!
Absolutely true. Poirier says it himself, he's willing to go longer, harder and take more damage than any of these guys. Spot on to bring that up. The ♥ of the 💎 shouldn't be underestimated
I saw a quote from Poirier saying he wanted the fight to be a bloodbath, and that he "doesn't have a safety net." Unlike McGregor
I was rooting for Dustin, but after hearing that and seeing how stiff McGregor was it was clear McGregor had gotten soft, that victory had defeated him.
@@deekdouglas3055 exactly like he had way more going into and everybody was counting him out because it’s Conor Mcgregor.
@@mrbrightside9609 bingo, Conor has money and believe it or not, it does have an effect on your hunger and drive whether you believe it or not.
dont think "who wants it more" was the cause of the result. conor simply abandoned the approach that made him champion and focused solely on boxing while dustin came in with a brilliant gameplan, stuck to it despite getting rocked, utilized his mma game and crippled the trigger of the rifle. dustin was the better mma fighter on the night
That begs the question...
Just how good is Khabib Nurmagomedov?
Good enough to the point where nowadays if you have an L to him, people just say “Well, that’s Khabib though”
Not as good as Uncle Chael
@@jayrock464 ok great
Lightweight goat.
Crazy thing khabib runs through both of them
I thought Conor's style/gameplan was poor. For some reason he's adopted a boxer's style (more planted feet) and rarely throws kicks anymore which used to be one of his best weapons and best tool for controlling range. Fair play to Dustin though.
The problem I think he had wasn't the lack of kicks but was how little he countered from what I remember he didn't counter a single time
@@ooofthedegenerate Yeah never once checked a kick. My thing is that in the Eddie fight he would often use front kicks to deter the takedown. That and he was moving back and forth to alter the range much better rather than just trying to walk him down like a boxing style.
@@SwiperNoSwiping458 Agreed.
His planted feet is kinda his signature move. He won’t against Aldo and Alvarez by standing still and counter their punches
@@TheOpinionGuyy He was bouncing around & light-footed against Aldo. This one he was heavy in his stance & tried walking Dustin down to get a finish.
I’m surprised people didn’t think of using leg kicks against him sooner
@Fuh Q I'm dead
Alvarez did use them kinda he throwed one kick at Connor and fell but idk maybe back then the left hand was really scarry
He wasn't fully employing the boxing stance back then. He made this big mistake relying upon it since the Mayweather fight.
He needs Ido Portal back. Conor's Karate stance perfectly complimented his signature left.
It was Duke, and he never forgot what happened to his brother!
This is really great analysis. Always liked MMA, but never delved into all the smaller points. First time on this channel too. Good job!
I knew the weasel was wrong, Dustin wasn’t nervous he’s just a little stiff in pressers.
said it also, everyone was saying max was looking nervous in the conference. but. he turned up. People just projecting onto these fighters.
@@jarry8150 exactly. Plus, having been a wrestler myself, you are ALWAYS nervous going into a fight. Once you get into the fight if you've prepared enough mentally and physically you snap out of it and it all goes away. Being nervous and not wanting to lose are actually HUGE motivators to fight your best fight. As much as I hate Floyd, people were all talking about how he looked nervous going into the Pacquiao fight... I remember thinking to myself... "As he should be. It means nothing." Sure enough, it didn't mean anything. All these fighters get nerves and if they didn't they aren't fighting smart and get taken out... like CONOR DID HERE!
Duse watch anything he did about Dustin he continues to shit on him. Very weird and stupid.
I think Dustin was absolutely a bit nervous and that's because he was stiff. He got in the right headspace before the fight and put on a performance though.
He admitted he was nervous but doesn't mean he can't perform
It’s crazy when you tubers have a more comprehensive breakdown than the “professionals”. Conor did not look slow until the leg kicks started taking effect
I think its the most lame fightening technic in muay thai this is the way to go tactic tho i think it sucks and not exciting at all.
@Yea Yea Nah Yea I’m talking about the post fight analysis by a lot of pros making excuses for Conor
@@ronnyfweaagreed. People are making excuses for this guy for years. Saying he doesn’t fight as fluid and light on his feet as before. Well, off course. He is not fighting smaller guys with 145 pounds anymore. Guys that he could touch with no effort and bang, knockdowns. It’s not possible for him to be like before, because he is not cutting gigantic amounts of weight to fight. He is not as fast and light as before because that’s not possible. Has nothing to do with his capacity, or because he is “not the same anymore”.
Conor won the first round he looked good stop making excuses. Every1 said conor looks great, after the fight conor didn't look good😂. Come on. Dustin gets all the credit 100%. Smart fighting won this fight. And not TKO. KO he was out.
@@ronnyfwea they werent excuses its what happened the commentators who are ufc fighters said the calf kicks killed his leg they could tell because his stance went from wide to close because he couldnt put much weight on the leg all the ufc fighters said the same thing everything stemmed from the calf kicks and conors lack of being dynamic like he usually is he was a one trick pony in there like khabib
Weasle, you do a great job breaking down these fights
Weasle....I've been a sub for years now ,and to see your success at this media content thing (that we all love so much) is nothing if not inspiring!. Congrats brother....keep it going!
His legs got chopped he couldn't even move
It's because of his wide ass stance. Most fighters don't use a stance like that.
@@tgo007 and he messed up on checking the kicks. Him and Dustin both said he didn't turn his leg enough and Dustin landed clean. Kinda like suga. But suga got skinnier legs and effected the nerve more.
Conor has no chin
2 days earlier, you all said that McGregor is in his best shape , now you are complaining a out his stance instead of giving credits to dustin
This fight is not even as brutal as Dustin vs justin
Shoutout to everyone who said dustin was gonna win 🙌🏽
I thought conor was coing to win
Told my bro that if its the first round... Conor would win... If it goes past 3...poirier would win... I never saw dustin doing it in a round and a half... Awesome... Love and respect for both fighters...
Yessir 😎 gotta have faith in my boy Dustin
Had my money on Dustin! 💰💰 🎉 🙌
Thank you
Such a well deserved win by one of the most hard working underappreciated good guys in mma.
Another vid with 1M views ! COngrats TheWeasle
I think his team became a yes man team.
Not necessarily. They seemed to be doing everything that worked for him in the past. Problem is a lot of time has passed and people have had plenty of time to study his style. The calf kick is a relatively new thing in mma that wasn't really utilized in McGregor's dominant era
@@Delarocha34 not to mention that McGregor arrived to the arena 45 minutes before his bout with Dustin. That is not a good look for McGregor.
@@Delarocha34 yeah exactly, that calf kicks are new in the game
@Sage
UFC 246, his opponent was 0-3 and was fighting at 170 lbs.
UFC 257, his opponent was 2-1 and was coming a FOTY contender that he won against a top 5 lightweight.
Not smart to treat both of these opponents the same.
no. just too boxing oriented
Dustin did exactly what Weasle said he had to do in his prediction!
He’s a fan of the channel
Weasel said Conor would KO him ffs .
This weasel has a big brain, Even Justin Gaejthe did exactly what weasel said he'll do😦i.e give up his back...weasel you are a genius bro
@@c200065524 yeah he was way off on his predictions. weasel just goes with the favorites almost always
Yup very true
5:26 that’s the combo that caught Dustin in the first fight. Conor’s feints to close distance while appearing to be in the same rough distance because of footwork. That’s his main weapon period and typically very effective. How do you counter it? Take away the mobility of his wide stance.
Your break down is always TOP NOTCH ! Thank you ...
Oh ya? What about Duke?
Why doesn’t Conor take his old Karate stance anymore. Every since he fought Floyd he’s taken a more boxing heavy stance. I can’t stand it lol
True
Then the leg kicks would be even more effective.
Uses too much energy I think he said, which is why he believes he lost the first Nate fight, second Nate fight he took less of that stance and didn’t gas like the first fight
because with the old stance he had like 7,8 minutes of fight in him
@@andersonporfirio9356 no, if he bounces he can avoid the leg kicks more easily
Conor didn’t look to bad tho, he rocked Dustin in the first, Dustin said it himself if Conor would have pressed him more he would have been put
Exactly... I do think a little adjustment and Conor Can come back and beat Dustin again!
Ive not yet seen the full fight, but everything seemed slow for him after the first few minutes. The hands didnt have the same acceleration
@james Nas Bro he used to be quick on his feet, karate stance, distancing and in and out strikes, unpredictable. That was his philosophy, bruce lee movement. Now he has a high guard boxing stance and flat footed, looks like a boxer in the cage.
@@Johnson82ish Little adjustments? Lol. You idiors sound like the ultimate yes man John Kavanaugh himself ffs.
@james Nas most true thing ever he said he was gonna utilize his kicks more and then threw it out the window when hes fighting southpaws he needs to do more work with his lead leg like side kicks and roundhouses to disrupt dustins timing on the calf kicks
Conor got sparked up! What a masterpiece!
And it felt so good
Thank you for giving credit to Dustin instead of making more excuses. It's true, and it's right. Well done.
Tony declined physically
Conor declined mentally
Well put
How?🤣
@@Patriothouse325 ...are you dumb bro
Tony v Conor for the next match up
Conor declined tecnically
It’s the Mayweather curse. Once a fighter gets that Mayweather payday they are never the same. The only ones who have avoided the perils of this curse is Pacquiao, Marquez and Canelo.
Except Mayweather 🤣
@@m3shmusic353 nope Mayweather is still Mayweather.
Funny, you said Conor was back after he walk-thru old and washed-up Cowboy.
@@0akland510 what? I'm saying Mayweather was never affected by Mayweather money.
@@m3shmusic353 Mayweather has always been like that with money. Look at his days before beating Oscar De La Hoya, Mayweather was always flashy and iced out.
I bet poirer may have taken that interview seriously where conor said " My foot was a ballon" and went adter it.
Great (post-fight) analysis as usual Weasel.
Conor looked great he just didn't check the kicks... Poirer even said McGregor rocked him & had Conor pressured he may have ended the fight.
He leans forward too much with that long stance. Heavy on the lead leg. Hes very fortunate no one kicked his lead leg before now
What interview did he say he got rocked
yee he needs to learn to check those
@@omar619kamis I think it was with Brett Okamoto? Not sure how its spelled
@@omar619kamis i believe it was the post fight press conference video UFC streamed.
Conor needs to adapt more highkicks again. When he used to throw them to limit his opponents movement away from his hands he was way better..
Conor is fine, he had time to prepare for this fight but he either underestimated his opponent or his opponent just bested him.
I think you're right. He needs to use that karate stance to his benefit instead of being disadvantaged by it, and that means kicking the way he used to. Kicking and takedowns are how MMA fighters beat straight boxers. Seems Connor needs to revisit that.
On this day mcgregor learned everything he thought he knew was years past...mcgregor fanboys dead today lmfao
the game is just evolving and conor unfortunately just got the bad end of the stick timing wise. conor was great because his style was new and unknown, but its moved on since then to wrestling-dominant, and now calf kicks while he was busy boxing and distracted with fame so he's playing catch up. I think overall conor is still better now physically and skillwise than he was before even in 2016, he will just need to make adjustments. Grappling/wrestling wise no one can dominate him besides khabib now, maybe charles... now its time he make some striking adjustments he's neglected when he was busy fighting floyd and khabib.
He said before that at one point he realized it was all the kicks and high kicks and spin kicks that were gassing him in fights
A commentary video that was not annoying but enjoyable and informative.
Well done!
Hey weasel love your stuff. In the post fight press conference, Conor already addressed that he needs to adapt to calf kicks.
LOL "wE aLl kNoW cOnoR wINs" = Weasle. Even makes psychology videos on Dustin, disregarding all of his technical improvements.
Lmao 😂
Yeah and now he is SHOCKED. LMAO. Only deluded Conor fans can be shocked about this
Weasle was saying that leg kicks would be great against Conor so stfu
That's bc conor is a stylistically favorite. But poirier did a great job at nullifiyng conors weapons.
Underrated comment, we are with you in your fight, brother
conor in post fight interviews fully accepted this loss. saying there was inactivity but make no mistake that the kicks were something he had never fully dealt with before...these were his words. i think he went on to even say hes gotta change it up because of it. not as delusional as the khabib fight, probably because there was no bad blood. which props to conor.
It's not inactivity, he's not that good outside of 145. His power never transferred outside of that division.
To say it's inactivity is delusional. If he ever fights at 155 or 170 he WILL get his ass handed to him... again.
@@jpweek5885 Dustin had a great gameplan and execution. Most LW cant do this.
The khabib thing is tricky...conor knows its a terrible match up, he can't point at one specific thing that completely changes the fight because it is just wrestling/grappling and he can't make up the time khabib has on him in that specific area, which is at least 50% of the game...there are a lot of ways to avoid kicks or reshape the dynamic of a fight in general when it comes to Dustin...conor vs khabib will always come down to landing the perfect shot or hurting and finishing the wrestler before he takes you down repeatedly and cardio becomes the biggest factor
@@jpweek5885 to say inactivity has nothing to do with it is even more crazy...he fought 155 two times, a blowout against alvarez with no resistance really after being active and a terrible stylistic matchup against one of the greatest fighters who exclusively fought at 155 after focusing on boxing...i think he mismanaged his whole weight by fucking with 170, the drastic jumps etc
@@jpweek5885 we cannot use that as an excuse against poirer, because poirer had an amazing gameplan and performed well. but overall he stated that he has to keep fighting. doing 1 fight a year or longer doesnt seem to be in his favor. mma game keeps progressing with better and better fighters/techniques. but im not sure about his power not transferring out of 145. eddie alvarez may not be the storied legend that other fights can be and currently are, but conor made a fool of him in 155. alvarez having the title wasn't just a fluke or meaningless. Conor has beat 2 notable names in LW in Alvarez and Cerrone...granted Cerrone is pretty much one leg in and one leg out. regardless they are still big names.
Congratulations to Dustin.
Love how Connor acted afterwards.
I hope he fights again, with same positive mentality. I’m excited to see McGregor fight again. I genuinely think he can improve & learn from this. Since he didn’t take too much damage hope we can see both fight different opponents again.
Love to see how leg kicks are improving, guys improving their accuracy. We knew they wouldn’t work on Khabib as he showed before the Justin fight, in another fight he could tank 12+ and keep moving.
Am fascinated to see how Snipers ( counter punchers ) deal with this.
( and Sean will too)
Dustin’s aim was unbelievable. Congratulations my guy!
Don't forget about Gaethje, before his loss to Khabib everybody was saying he's the man to beat, and losing to Khabib shouldn't mean much since EVERYBODY does!!!
He lost to Dustin not to long ago also
REW
Nah. Without a proper gameplan and focus you can't expect to beat a champ. It is no wonder why Gaethje lost just as it is no wonder Conor lost. This fight pretty much proved that Conor is definitely not at 100% and hasn't been since fighting Mayweather.
I’m a simple man. I see weasle uploaded, I click.
i stopped watching UFC Hollywood BS and get my infos from Weasle but as stated earlier i dont like his ( Weasle) favoritism of Chicken Mc Tapper he is a c#nt as a person so he sucks as a fighter and his apologies show it
Poirier vs. Oliveira
Chandler vs. Gaethje
McGregor vs. Diaz 3
McGregor vs Ferguson* Nate is overrated right now
Yes yes and yes, totally behind this 💯
Add Dan vs Tony to the mix I feel like that's a good matchup for those two
WHAT has Nate done to get another red panty night?
Great analysis! I'm glad I didn't skip this because of the click-baity title
very nice overview, lots of good info
It’s sad to see Conor abandon his movement based karate style that made him dangerous with this slow predictable boxing style. Conor from 2014-2016 would laugh at this new Conor.
Yes give me the connor who fought Eddie
That stance is even more susceptible to leg kicks...
That Conor low key killing dis Dustin but we can’t keep saying that Conor 🤷🏼♂️
@@usurper1991 the one who fought Eddie was the best Conor
wake up boi...Mc tapper was promoted and only half as good as you wanna believe...this was one more proof.Never ever did he defend 1 title and he is not capable of getting a belt again ...lets move on
This makes me feel that Conor might've got destroyed by Justin.
So true. If he does that against Justin it’s over. He’s possibly the best low kicker in ufc...he literally throws leg kicks in the clinch lol, his hip flexibility’s crazy. I want to see Conor fight Ferguson next
Justin is an orthodox fighter and so he wouldn't get the same torque into the kicks that Dustin did because Dustin is a southpaw. Southpaw vs southpaw is where Conor struggles. Fighting a left footed guy who can wrap his leg around the bone and hit the muscle.
@@lmaximus5653 that’s not how a fight works. It’s not math. He maybe perform even better than Dustin against Conor, maybe not. That’s only it. I can see what you’re saying, but that doesn’t mean Justin could not destroy Conors legs.
@@IvanM272 The technical aspects of fighting can literally be explained by match and physics.
Bro, think. Justin is fricken orthodox. Why tf everyone saying this?
Dustin did look really good, he was on point from the time he sat foot in that arena.
And im gonna be totally honest here, i had money on McGregor on this one, that he would finish Dustin in the second round.
Ive got so much cash out of McGregor bets at this point so i feel almost dumb not going for it but there are flukes in that theory.
Anyway, my heart was with Poirer and I was VERY glad to see him go as the Victor out of this one despite the money on the line - i dont care im happy for the man!
Damn! 1.2 million views in a day. Weasle movin' on up!
Seeing this fight makes you appreciate how dominant Khabib was against both these guys.
For sure
When Dustin took him down and had him against the fence, I was like, “Ooh, he’s Khabibing him” lol
@@TheJofrica I was like, "he learnt something from Khabib. I was hoping another tap."
DP vs charlie olives lets go.
Book it dana
Charlie losses
And chandler vs gaethje!
And Chandler vs Justine highlight...
Then both winner fight each other get the champ...
Comes to Connor should fight the bogie man????
What u think?
if he doesnt want chandler why would he fight olivera
This shows porier is always open to improvements in his game from past fights. Gotta love his way of incorporating different things and realising a striker is only as good as his legs will let him be
I enjoyed your video nice work
Somewhere in Long Island Eddie Alvarez and his Wife and are shouting there is no Santa Claus
🤣🤣
Conor needs to forget boxing focus on mma and get back to that light on his feet movement the karate stance play touch butt but ik it won’t work on khabib but against strikers yes it does
Surprised to see conors power wasn’t there tho...
His power was there. He hurt him bad several times. Dustin said he could of even finished him at a certain point if he put some pressure on him. He lost the ability to put weight on his leg and then the punches started losing their power.
Yes.
The heavy-boxing stance, sitting down on the shots style has cost McGregor Vs Poirier. Poirier recognised this and hammered away at the calf kick, and ultimately finished Conor.
In order for Conor to have the same level success he had in the UFC 2013-16 he has to get back to his karate-based style, which had him light on his feet and gave him the ability to counter opponent's effectively
Also Conor's "power" was against 145ers. These 155'ers and up got a bit more chin.
I just think Conor spent to long out the octagon. I think if he had some more fights after the cowboy fight he for sure would've beaten Dustin.
@@m3shmusic353 true, people forget he is 1-2 at 155 now
This is the best analysis of any fight I’ve ever seen. God damn!
Really lol... what about Duke?
Luke Thomas: Conor's chin deteriorated due to inactivity and lack of sparring...
Luke Thomas is a joke
@@krombopulosabraham2824 A big joke..no so called analyst mentioned the complete change of style of Conor. from a striker at kicking range to a hands up push forward brawler...WTF
@@coryparton1193 conor will be back. I dont wanna use lame quotes like better than ever. I just know hell be back better than this
This would have being the aldo fight in an alternative universe if aldo used his leg kicks starting the fight.
Seriously
I fell sad for Aldo
No. Aldo never kicked the calf. He kicked thigh. You dont know shit.
Aldo isn’t a southpaw
Aldo deserves a rematch. And Nate deserves a 3 and final match.
Conor needs to be all in MMA, having his energies put into two different sports is ridiculous. Changing his style , very defensive not fluid and more planting. All respect to poirer what a performance. Hope this is a wake up call too for Conor I don’t count him out just yet .
I hope you’re not counting boxing as his “2nd” sport
@@leopoldstotch3565 McGregor chose to fight poirer for his southpaw boxing approach to get a feel for the manny fight. He brought his old boxing coaches back. You can see the different of his styles before he started training boxing Purely and now. That is just my opinion though
Conor was never as good as he said he was lol
@@ZeNoTemperrr or maybe he ate too many leg kicks and couldn’t move the way he wanted to
@leopold stotch evidently he did lmao that’s why he lost the fight . Poirer is better fighter outa two he had an amazing night .Just from the eye test the springy in and out movement he used to have is gone with his new boxing planting approach
Thank you!! This is the only show that has said the result of the fight was due to Dustin just being better last night. Great show of skills and maturity in the sport by Poirier. Not even when Khabib dismantled McGregor was I this happy.
PS: This was not a shocking result to many people. I for one thought it would go this way the minute McGregor started saying he would KO Dustin within 60 seconds.
And conor said why he came back, becouse he wants more highlights, now he got one getting KOd
LAMO best highlight of his career
Conor fought as if it was a boxing match. Wasn't prepared for anything else. Frustrating because i feel he wins with a proper gameplan.
I’ve heard this so many times about Conor 😂 “with a proper game plan”
excuses
Very true when dustin went with the take down, Connor looked as if he never thought a take down would come.
Can’t break a diamond
Or if he was motivated.. Right? hahahahah
So happy to see Dustin observed what Adesanya did to big punchers.
Uhhhh Dustin " learned" from Adesanya? Pretty sure it was Dustin's own coaching. World doesn't revolve around your fav fighter.
Quoted by an Izzy fanboy
Chopping down the leg is old
He's been in the game for a long time and has been consistently getting better, I don't see what adesanya has to do with anything, especially considering he tried to use leg kicks in the first fight with McGregor as well lol
For a moment I forgot Adesanya was the first fighter to do that.................
beautiful analysis weasle! on point
Well done.
Good channel.
Dustin has learned a lot from his loses💯
Why is everyone so shocked? Dustin is one of the best
Because conor got KO’d for the first time in his MMA carreer lol
Couldn't Agree more. Connor is human...people seem to forget this.
Nope
exactly
100% he said he'll stop Connor.. He did..
Hey man, I'm a little disappointed you didn't go deeper into the sequence that ends the fight. Dustin was brilliant, IMO, in his shot selection and reading Conor's slip and sat him down with a beautiful right.
Everybody thought Dustin was gonna get KO and nobody gave the guy a chance 🤣 Justice was served by Dustin Poirier
