No until Dustin felt he could win. And the it went downhill very fast with Conor .

[@CB-lw7ty]

I feel like Conors biggest issue isn't that he's lost "the hunger" or drive to become the best, its that he's realised he can take huge amounts of time off, lose matches but as long as he presents and sells himself as "Conor McGregor" he'll make huge amounts of cash regardless, so thats become his sole focus, selling the character of Conor McGregor rather than remembering what it meant to be Conor McGregor.

Mcgregor came in the best shape he ever was in this fight, why is it that when mcgregor loses people always say he wasnt motivated, he got beat by the smarter fighter

[@snm1michaelmma82]

@@bingbong6127 I think he was motivated, just past his best tbh. Chael sonnen had a similar take

[@zee4125]

No it isn't, because it creates a narrative that Conor didn't work hard for this fight and so he wasn't 100%. Which only takes away from what Dustin did. The truth is Dustin had a better gameplan and exploited one of Conor's weaknesses. It wasn't that Conor wasn't himself. It's that Dustin was better.

[@Aerational]

Conor's mind games weren't just for his opponents, it put pressure on himself as well. He was banking that he would thrive under pressure while opponents would wilt... at some point he lost that confidence, I think it was losing to Floyd. That's why he got so personal with Khabib when usually he's more brash and playful with his trash talk.

[@matthewgregory7297]

Only criticism in this is about the stance and the hands low approach that you wanted to see . With Connor vs a orthodox fighter eg. Alvarez he would have his hands low touching the right arm of Alvarez to easily control the arm as it is the closest arm to him and then be able to counter of it. Connor vs southpaw means his lead left arm would have to reach across his body to control Dustin’s lead arm so if he had his hands down the lead arm of Connor will be controlling and touching thin air also Dustin’s right hand is uniquely his power hand so it would be extremely dangerous to go in hands down with the chance of a quick lead right hook from Dustin going for a non protected face

The follow up shots. Lately he throws some good shots and stops to admire his work instead of following up with more shots he will stop and wait. Look at all his last 5 fights and notice the cowboy fight was the only one he was following shot for shot.

A few world class fighters who have lost to mcgregor have lost, not because he is a god in the cage but because mcgregors reputation used to provoke a primal fear in fighters that made them make mistakes and not take chances they would of normally took. so once u take the fear out of the equation and u stop seeing a god infront of u and u start to see just another man, the game changes. Basically once u remove mcgregors mind games it’s not hard to beat him.
