Conor probably had the best run in ufc history. He knocked out everyone within the first round, his determination was crazy in his early years. Everyone talks about the Comeback but he is done, he’s a double champ and made tons of money he really doesn’t have that killer instinct anymore.

[@idontknowwhatmyusernamesho5540]

[@lukepier9736]

Maybe not the best run, but CERTAINLY the most exciting. IMO the best run in UFC history was Jon Jones beating 5 former lightheavyweight champions over the course of 18 months

Watching the build up and conclusion of all of their fights live was insane because of the different time periods and how much Dustin evolved.

Even though Conor is the superstar he is, as time passed it feels like Poirier has become the main character in their feud. Crazy how much Dustin has developed and evolved while it seems like Conor has been stuck in the past.

[@edvinparmeza1298]

It's because Conor got caught up in the money and the reputation he built, he thought he was invincible at that point and that was the start of his downfall, while on the other hand, Dustin was still hungry to rise to the top, all the losses in the past kept him humble, so he rose step by step, and learned from his mistakes.

Dustin is my favorite fighter in the UFC, but man this was disappointing for me when it happened. I remember the hype so well, the poster of McGregor on a train and Dustin standing tall on the tracks. I honestly thought this was going to be the end of the hype train. Instead I watched Connor McGregor elevate the UFC to a mainstream level. Not too many of my friends were watching before this, but they all had their eyes on this one and I was saying how Dustin was going to end this. It was cool to see them all ask me questions and ask my opinions, but incredibly embarrassing once Dustin got finished in the first round. It was a great lesson for me when talking about MMA. Never speak in absolutes.

He already dropped him before that. Fight was over so it didn't matter.

[@SilentUdon]

@@bendak7584 actually no, a lot of fighters can take more than the first punch, rattling the back of the head however will finish any fighter which is why it's an illegal punch. Connor just gets special treatment. Same with them letting him knee Khabib in the head while grounded, cuffing gloves, pulling shorts you name it Connor has prolly worked around it.

[@bendak7584]

@@SilentUdon When you turn the back of your head into a punch after they had already thrown it then it's fine. Dustin shouldn't have kept moving his back towards the punch. That's how the rules for that work

[@SilentUdon]

@@bendak7584 Okay, how about the second direct punch? It's up to the judges to CALL an illegal punch true, but it is still an illegal strike. Connor however does not get this call for two consecutive punches with his hand on the back of Dustin's head and neck? You also realize how goofy you sound blaming Dustin for being hit illegally twice? In fact this rule is so central to MMA that you will often see fighters use the back of their head to avoid damage because strikers know it's illegal. Its why grounded opponents often DO turn away from the blows and also why people turn their head when someone has their back. The ref will pick you up and call a timeout if you sustain serious damage like that. Or outright DQ the fight.

[@bendak7584]
