Dude, I’m a Cowboy fan at heart. Watch the replay. He didn’t try to do anything after the first shoulder strike to the face. He was struck 3 more times. Seemed like he was waiting for them.

Cowboy was never going to win that fight unless it was an accident.

I wouldn't say he threw it. I would say he went in and did what he was supposed to do.

Connor being back means hundreds of millions for the UFC.

Sometimes. I'd generally prefer a long back and forth war, but this is fighting and shit happens.

I don't blame you for not being willing to pay for the risk of a 30 second fight, I understand why somebody may not see the value in it, but I just don't understand bitching about it. You knew going in it was a possibility.

"No..."

"Do you want to fight Conor McGregor for $X.X Million?"

"...Yes".

With all due respect Connor fans can only toot their horns so loud. He purposely picked a fight with a guy who has lost 6 out of his last 10 fights. Cowboy is cool and all, but the division has much more to offer, and it was a pretty safe bet for those involved.

ETA: 7/10 now.

Why do I bitch?...it's called disappointment.  I watched the first UFC and most of them up until I got stationed overseas back in 2011.  This was the the first one I purchased in a long time and probably the last.  Disappointed..that is all.

McGregor did pretty great defending takedowns against Khabib the first round, and was doing fine the second round right up until the point he got caught with the overhand right. Khabib pretty much wrestle fucks everyone.

My wife walked in just as the main fight was starting and I tried my best to explain my disappointment.

It’s like if you took the recent College National Championship. Two extremely good teams that deserve to be there. They have spent months preparing for this moment. The emotions are high, both teams are prepared, and this is going to be a battle. This promises to be an amazing three hours of football.

Now I don’t have a connection to either of these teams, but let’s say I’m pulling for the underdog, so Clemson in this scenario. But I’m really just looking to see a great back-and-forth battle on the field.

Now imagine after all the hype and the intro, the teams take their respective sides, Clemson kicks the ball off, LSU catches it at the 5 yard line, and in a matter of seconds manages to break through the Clemson D and runs it all the way back up the field for a touchdown. Then, the referee walks out on the field and says, “Because LSU has returned the kickoff for a touchdown, the game is over and LSU is the national champion. Game over.”

I don’t care strongly about which team wins, I just feel robbed because I didn’t get to watch an entire game between two teams that definitely have the heart, talent, and skill to make it an incredible match!

It’s something like that.

Cerrone is done. Past his prime just collecting checks. Against average competition he’s dangerous but he can no longer compete with the elite in the weight class. He was always a gunslinger and always came to fight.

Dana will now try to coerce Khabib to fight Conor. That fight will sell. I predict Conor loses the fight and comes back to 170 where Uncle Dana will give him a fight against Marty Fake News Man if he is still champ. That is a much more winnable fight for Conor.

I get it it. I’m not new to MMA. When you have a strong favorite you want it to be a quick fight. You want to see your guy dominate quickly and walk out unscathed. But when you don’t care who wins, but know both guys are scrappers, you hope for an exciting battle.

What are you talking about? Khabib took him down very early in the first round and he spent the rest of it on his back. Pretty much the same thing in the second. He had a glimmer of hope in the third but then got smashed in the fourth. Against a 155# guy. Usman is a HUGE 170# fighter who is a brilliant wrestler with some very real power going on.

I don't know what Cowboy was doing in there. He had to plan on keeping his distance but hugged up right away and put his face on Connors shoulder. Oh well, glad he is getting paid.

I didn’t say Usman had no chance against Conor.  I’m saying Conor’s wrestling is a lot better than people give him credit for.  Ben Askren was also an Olympic wrestler and got fucked up by Masvidal and Damian Maia.  There’s more to MMA than just being great at wrestling.

Watch the fight again.  Yes Khabib took him down a few times in the first round, but McGregor defended most of the takedowns well, and avoided getting hurt or tired from the successful takedowns and was able to escape back to standup.  The 2nd round is where McGregor ate the overhand right and spent 5 minutes in Khabib’s favorite ride.

Well, fortunately I was not impulsive enough to actually put any money down. I signed up at the one they advertise on PodcastOne, but then realized how dumb it was to bet on Cowboy just because I thought he should be less of an underdog. I am not a sports betting guru.

Also Connor was not prepared for the Khabib fight , you can clearly see Connor was not on his game for that fight

and he has admitted that much , I'd love to see him get a rematch and Connor being at 100% ready for that fight

I still think Khabib wins but it will be an epic fight .
