I'm so glad I got to witness this moment on my legal stream that I paid money for.

Hope everyone else here did the same and didn't get arrested.

Wow. Dustin with the perfect gameplan. I really thought at the end of R1, "now McGregor is gonna turn it up" because he caught Dustin towards the end of R1 a few times, clean. But those damn destructive lower leg kicks was just money in the bank for Dustin, and he hurt him and just ramped up the pressure and never gave Conor room to breathe. I thought that was beautiful. A shocking display to see Conor get chewed up, dropped, and KO'd.. I honestly didn't know if we'd ever get to witness McNuggets get KO'd.... But, I shouldn't doubt things like that, especially after the way things started in 2021 for the UFC. BIG TIME Underdogs shocking ppl left and right. Like I never can recall. Dustin, you're the ******* man.

But Conor wasn’t motivated and that’s the only reason he lost to khabib remember? And his foot was a balloon. This time his knee was a balloon so unfair fight

Hooker handed Chandler that win. Nothing going back at him. He basically said to Chandler come and have some free shots. The performance almost looked like a dive

Disagree, i think his gameplan was to work the legs to zip from the explosive power of Chandler to set up those knees and chandler did what chandler does

He still needed to throw something to get respect. You can’t just throw kicks if someone’s walking you down. I didn’t think hooker was one of the elite lightweights but now I’m sure of it lol

Chandler threw wild because hooker wasn’t countering
