For chael to think erceg lost all 5 rounds is insane

[@JrE-il7cf]

Typical chael. Always saying dumb stuff.

[@Thenightshowbreaks]

Ercegs corner lost him that fight. It was 2-2 an they should have told him to leave it all out there an you are 5 minutes away from taking the belt. But erceg gave up like a sucker those last 3 minutes

[@Guru-ue2yp]

Of course he does.. DC and chael are the dumbest “wrestlers” in the media space… they hate strikers

[@gustaco1738]

He’s a company man, to go against the judges could hurt his reputation with the UFC. I recently unsubscribed from his channel, after being subscribed for years, cause his takes have become way more bias as of late & he’s wrong most of the time too lol

[@kevinparrino2371]

periera litterally knows his fights will never go 5 rounds so he just stays on his back to conserve energy instead of trying to escape. its honestly insane. 2 weight world champion in best kickboxing promotion, come to mma, 5 world champions and 2 weight champ in 7 fights is one of the greatest sports feats of all time. definitely up there with ohtanis 2021 or 2023 season. absolutely have never seen anything like it before in my life in any sport

[@cricketcavalry1824]

Ya he doesn't try to get up. He in on energy saver mode doesn't mean he don't know wresting. If those guys try submission he will just keep his hands between the chin and pull guard. Plus he is strong as nail. Wrestlers probably will be tired trying to work this guy under guard. And he kicks on the calf using his heels when on guard, Next round you will feel that shots

[@kevinparrino2371]

@@cricketcavalry1824 I completely forgot to add calf kicks in my comments and it needs to be said because he will literally sit on his back, and then the very next round just kick you until the lead leg shuts down which eliminates the takedowns anymore basically and now your fighting him on the feet with one leg. I agree with you too I think anyone who wrestles him spends more energy on the ground than he does

Conor and Chandler don't pull out of fights so a backup isn't really needed but since they're fighting at 170.. what about Usman? he's the biggest name at 170

[@dmoney7536]

Usman might hump either of them with wrestling... Matchmakers would want a true striker for backup to keep it exciting

[@dean9261]

Headshot dead 3 kills ago mate

[@ersingultekin959]

Uncle dana won't do that. Usman is the worst stylestic matchup for Mcgregor at 170. Dos anjos or dariush make sense for backup.

​@@ersingultekin959terrible choices. Charles should be the #1 option

[@ersingultekin959]

Ercegs corner lost him that fight. It was 2-2 an they should have told him to leave it all out there an you are 5 minutes away from taking the belt

[@andbo7937]

I love Chael but respectfully he shouldn’t be credited as a real analyst. The scoring criteria says that damage trumps all and for him to say Pantoja won every round shows that he doesn’t know the rules

4-1 pantoja was correct. Wasn’t a close fight despite some close rounds.. pantoja was clearly winning the whole way… it was a case of seeing the underdog perform okay that boosted it because he was viewed as an undeserving of the title shot - underdog against a legit champ
