He's been itching for a fight with Pacquiao and looks to have ditched that karate stance he used have.
I wouldnt be surprised if he took Poirier for granted and was tuning up his boxing skills with Pacquiao in mind later in the year.

Khabibs tweet must have boiled his p!ss  :)

I'd say Gunnar Nelson had a big impact on him adopting the karate stance, in and out fighting and patience and you'd wonder if he's involved anymore with McGregor. He was also training with a TKD guy from Dublin who subsequently got put away for killing someone in a street fight. The timing, precision etc from those styles has gone out the window, and I think he thinks he can just go into fights and box the head off lads which just isn't going to cut it against hungry savages who are training 10 hours a day in all styles. I would also question why his jiu jitsu and grappling doesn't seem to have moved on a bit. He tried to walk.down Khabib, now Dustin, he needs to go back to the drawing board or else retire.

When you take focus on commentary that really breakdown what went wrong in that fight they all seem to come to a similar conclusion.

He didn't have that pop and there was no bouncing in and out. Even when he landed his money shot it didn't change the fight.

I don't know. Every man and his dog has an opinion on what went wrong in that fight. If Wes re to believe his coaches he trained like an animal for this fight .
Thankfully he didn't act the bollox before hand with the shit talk.
If I had all that money I'd find it hard to have the same grit and hunger as when I had nothing.
He needs to go Rocky 3 post Clubber Brown style now

Watched the Alvarez fight there. Then the Khabib fight. Then Dustin. Honestly, in the Khabib fight, when you watch it without emotion, he did extremely well. For a lad that hadn't lost a round and who wrestles so well, it was always going to be really tough. 2 lads walk in and one lad wins, that's the way it goes. All the greats lost apart from 1 or 2 lads, but I think you need to judge a guy over his career.

If you take all the surrounding stuff out of it he could very well fight a third fight and beat Poirier. I'd even give him a shot against Khabib. I think he almost psyched himself out against Khabib.All.the nonsense around it all was bonkers. He needs to be more patient and stop standing so still. It was probably his worst performance so far, but a couple of good ffights and he could easily be challenging again.


Usman is a beast and has some jab on him.It will be a tough ask to take that belt away from him.

He looked like a savage last night. It will have to be somebody that can shut his wrestling down completely.

His cardio is excellent too.

I think Derek Lewis was trying to kill yerman last night. They was brutal!

Dana White and Jon Jones again with the bitching.
Francis Ngannou with the death strike.
Miocic took the first few and kept coming so that man is tough as nails.
Off to Bellator for Woodley I'd say.

That hammer fist looked nasty too.

That Reyes v Prochazka fight was something else and well worth the watch if you havent seen it.

I saw the finish. That was some wallop.
I think Glover Texeira will get it done against Jan B.

I wonder is that the end of McGregor with his leg injury which was nasty?Pity the injury put an end to the fight as Poirier was just getting started on him.
Madness interviewing a guy after an injury like that so soon also.

O 'Malley Moutinho was a great scrap.
