It’s ok to tap it happens to the “best” of fighters. It’s not ok to say you’re ready for war, go 100 all the way with your antics and then do the safest thing possible to live another day which is ok.

When Conor has faced adversity in the octagon. He’s 2-2. 1 nate Diaz gift rematch and the Chad mendes fight. I technically believe he should be 1-3 because I still side eye the decision. He faces Khabib again he will lose. He may even lose against Tony and Nate again. I believe he would lose against GSP and Woodley too... so where does he go from here?

He’ll beat Ferguson and Diaz because there dumb enough to stand with him. Nobody at 145 or 155 can stand with him. I don’t think he’s ever lost a stand up fight, u gotta go after his weakness

Ferguson might wear him down if the fight goes long but I think Conor catches him before that happens. How many guys have put him in serious danger because he's too reckless on his feet? Pettis, Vannata and Edson come to mind right away. Ironically though, I think Ferguson's gas tank and complete indifference about being on his back makes him the most interesting opponent for Khabib though (Lee a close second).

Ferguson vs Khabib is interesting because I’m not sure he’ll get dominated on the ground. I think he has a good shot of beating khabib but not so much against conor

Khabib will take down Lee or Ferg... y’all realize he trains with the likes of DC and Cain. It’s not like he hasn’t seen anything new. None of these lw’s have anything to offer him. Conor is a more polished striker than Ferg and Lee and Khabib toyed with him. He literally played opposum against Laquita and almost starched Conor. This dude for real.

I doubt anything comes of it considering just last week DC was saying his hand was still busted from the Stipe fight and Lewis said today his finger was broken. You can tell these dudes are really scrambling
