This dude will never fight anyone who has the skill to whup his ass. Supposedly he’s gonna train full time for a boxing career. I don’t know what he’s smoking to think he’ll ever be anything but a freak show fighter.

Yikes that’s bad
I think he would actually fight Conor.
TBH I don’t have a problem with Paul exposing one dimensional mma fighters like Askren or Danis. Askren sounded so delusional on Ariels show,

Just wanted to say that it's been mad annoying this week watching al the pundits and mainstream MMA and sports journalist talk about how slow and rusty Conor looked.
It's really discrediting Dustin's abilities, game-planning, and his win overall. Conor looked fine. He looked like the normal post-145 lbs era Conor. Dustin even admitted to being almost KO'd in round 1, but he did his best to no-sell it.
The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that if everyone admits that Conor looked fine but Dustin is just the better fighter, it means that the sort has either passed Conor by, or it's in the process of happening. If everyone acts like Conor was just rusty, then they can try to keep making any fight they want, and the public will stay interested. There's too many people in the machine that benefit from a narrative where Conor was full of ring-rust and not his normal self.
Like @aceboon has said, there's a different discussion as to the differences in Conor at 145 lbs and Conor afterwards. But the Conor we saw on Saturday IMO looked just like every other Conor we've seen since the Aldo win. I've even heard people say he gassed.
By gassed do they mean he got KTFO?

I fa sho woulda got the fight bonus, this is just too easy. Tony didn’t even really boom his ass
It’s crazy that people think just because this Paul kid beat up a gamer and midget he’s some killer now. I bet Askren destroys him

If Coker's maintaining the 
nostalgia run, then Barnett's kinda right. He's the only top PRIDE HW Fedor never faced. RIP Affliction.
Also hoping Fedor doesn't feel the possible long term effects of COVID.
