That was even more academic from Conor then I expected. But damn nice to have fights back

Now that we maid some money betting on that jokes cards, we can see if Connor will get destroy by Khabib or Tony. Or it could be Covington, Woodley, Edwards that beat him badly. And i'm not even talking about Usman, he will retire him for sure. Masvidal is the only easy fight left for that cheery picker.

I think it's more a case of Cerrone being decrepit, in the twilight of his career, and Conor being possibly the worst style for him.

I want Masvidal vs Conor.

Also, the shoulder's quite clearly busted his nose up bad. I think it starts spraying after the second one. I don't think noses do that when "nothing's happening". Cowboy got beat bad, and if it was fixed Herb would have stopped it way earlier instead of watching along like a muppet while Cowboy got smashed.

@Johnny very unlikely...he'd have a small window. Absolutely no way he can deal with Usman's wrestling. But yeah it would be funny to see Usman  KO'ed.

Cerrone always blows it in his biggest fights. It's why he's never been champ. 

You'll never know if it was fixed or not. Stop crying about it.

Calm down you forum addicted, basement dwelling dork. Just because you're wrong doesn't mean you need to throw a tantrum. I remember you posting that garbage, you had an actual point about the Fedor v Rampage fight, but this? Nah.

@data it definitely did damage but I've seen cowboy fight 4 rounds with a busted nose. I'm more inclined to believe the knee that clipped him put him on ***** street. Cerrone of old would have weathered it but he's mega shopworn, I think the Gaethje KO was probably the end of his tenure in the top 5.

@freemoney when your 1 hour is up, please do not go nuclear just because someone is making a point you don't agree with. light ****-talking is fine. going crazy is not.

@fish, unfortunately i have to agree, cowboy's best days are far behind him now. the only interesting thing i can see is when khabib tells dana to get ****** when he tries to force him into the re-match.

@fish, Yeah it is possible but I slowed it down and it looks like he's got no blood up until the second shoulder strike. Shoulder strikes can do a lot of damage, never seen it bust someone like that (that I can recall anyway) but they really hurt, quite a large bone to smash into someones nose. Really though, that head kick is what put him on ***** street (love that you used that term lol). Where I still am inclined to differ a bit is that I don't think the timing mattered much for Cowboy. Losses to Ferguson, Gaethje, and Conor; the absolute cream of the crop at LW. If he loses his next one, I'll switch my stance.

Anyway, not a surprising outcome and I'm not impressed. I'll need to see him beat competition a lot higher than the husk of Cerrone before I'll accept he's back in form. My guess is that they'll do the gamebred fight because it would be a blockbuster.

While I may not be surprised, I'm still super impressed. Head kicking Cowboy is pretty poetic.

Well, what did you think Greg? 2016 Conor or 2020 Cerrone?
