After the Mayweather fight there was a drastic difference in McGregors mma game. In the beginning of his career he had a wide karate stance with a diverse kicking game, light on his feet in and out approach. Since the Mayweather fight he seems very heavy footed, hunched over and looking to fight in the pocket and just box. He rarely throws kicks nowadays, even though they would always be used as a set up the for the straight left. This was never his strong point and I think this has all been to his detriment. Do you think he will ever go back to his old style or is he just stiff and stuck in the mud now? Ironically, like he used to say about the lightweight division back in the day. Thoughts?

Conor was winning that fight but it’s obvious the calf kicks had a huge impact in that fight. He couldn’t move side to side like he normally does. The lead right hook by Dustin was dangerous and catching. I thought he needs to be careful of that cuz it’s no joke. Conor understands what he needs to do and I firmly believe he will beat Dustin if they fought again.

When it comes to sheer heart, Dustin and Connor are at each end of the spectrum. McGregor tends to crumble under serious pressure whereas Poirer thrives. What do you think about the way his fighting style has drastically changed over the last few years, It's as if he's regressed? McGregor fights best with the wide stance, light on his feet approach as seen throughout his Featherweight career imo

I wonder if Conor really cares anymore?
He’s at the point he can come back every year once or twice and make a s--- ton of money for about a half dozen more fights.

Conor didn't lose that fight because he changed the way he fights. He looked great in the first round. He lost because Dustin took away his ability to move. That strategy was there since Conor began his MMA career but Dustin is the first to put the calf kick on him. The real question is, will Conor learn how to defend against those kicks? My guess is he fights someone like Nate Diaz next who won't use them.

Things happen when you've got millions of dollars, and a family.
Consider jose aldo. Still a bad *** but no way is he as hungry as WEC aldo.
Dustin on the other hand truly wants the undisputed belt. IMO they should give it to him now. He is the champ.
I'll say it again, they really f---ed up here. They should have honored Khabib and marketed around who could fill his shoes.

I’m confused. Not about the choking of woman. A lot of woman love that s---. Call me crazy if you want, but it looks like to me, that you’re insinuating that Conor, choked out prostitutes in his off season. Did this really happen or are you just making stuff up?
