A rematch that we didn't need was Chael vs Silva 2, Chael dominated Silva so much that we knew who the better fighter was, good thing he also did it in the rematch staying undefeated 😤
@Googlag Inmate #666 No, I like the RDA fight better for Conor. Tony should move up to 170 for a few fights to see if he can get a few wins and some money fights maybe, then retire. No need to do that weight cut anymore. Maybe Conor vs Tony at 170 later on
@Googlag Inmate #666 I like the rda fight abit more cuz I think it means more now and they seem to actually dislike eachother while tony and Conor seem to have a mutual respect of each others skill I would like to see Conor have a comeback fight against tony tho since he can get rounds in against him
@@tommymiller8793 I think Dustin may be falling in love with the money. He knows dam well he’s the #1 contender, but I feel like Dustin will always take a Conor rematch over a title shot.
This should be every fighter’s new line who lost a rematch “Look Steve I don’t count rematches and trilogy’s, I only count the match because that was the actual fight”
I really hope we don't see a fourth bout between Conor and Dustin. Not yet at least. If Dustin wins the title, and Conor works his way up to it, then maaaaaybe.
Conor will never be champion again and will probably never even be a contender again. The LW top 15 is full of opponents who Conor would never beat except maybe T Ferg
@@NOT-A-Monolith only to the extent that that's true for anyone in this division. He hit Dustin clean a few times in the rematch and he just ate it and smoked him. He has just as much a chance of KOing an opponent as Beneil Dariush
The rewatchability of your videos is incredible. I had the honor of watching you guys grow. You all have all gotten better, but have had such a consistent quality that a video from two years ago can trick me into thinking it's a new video. You're chasing excellence. Thank you
Unpopular opinion: TJ started EPO when he got that short notice call and that’s why he came out so relentless and cardio heavy on short notice against barao
Top 10 MMA Gyms that no longer exist! Or Top 10 MMA mid card Fighters-fighters who can give you a performance of the night or a fight of the night, but aren’t close enough to fight for a title. EDIT: Hey everyone please tell MMA On Point that with the amount of likes I got on this post, tell them to send me a job application lol 😂
It’s honestly crazy that people are still talking about another rematch between Conor and Dustin. Conor was getting his shit pushed in with that GnP, and after the leg break he should just call it quits.
I don’t think he should retire. That leg break probably was the only way he could lose without his career ending, dustin’s an incredible fighter and I think Conor could probably still do relatively well in the division. I don’t think he’ll be champ again but I think he could win again and that’s all it takes for him to get a title shot (not that he’d deserve it). His career still has a lot of potential
Not really if gaethje against chandler he’ll probably get it while conor will most likely go for the trilogy with nate. I don’t think conor has a chance at becoming champion again
Ufc used to give a mandatory rematch for a ex champ and max would’ve definitely bin a champ who deserved it. I believe the second fight was razor thin and if max can figure him out anymore I think he’d with the third fight but what then? A 4th fight lol
I’m so happy I’ve been here for so long y’all went from top 10 videos to breakdowns sitting with very famous fighters and referees even have another channel and everything proud of yall
@@onefastr6 - Nope, if anything Wanderlei would have won had judges been involved. Mirko landed some nice middle-kicks (his friggin' toes where imprinted into Wand's side, damn), but Wand still beat him on the feet and & on the ground. The consensus has always been that Wand got a moral victory "draw" in their first fight, but that Mirko avenged it in brutal fashion during the OWGP
@@TheSquad4life - especially after beating Frankie Edgar right after... Aldo should have gotten a fair chance to avenge that KO, with a full training camp and all.
@@ToddDCLT4 yeah man, these guys act like others are scrubs only reason conor lost is hes worst than 2016 conor, actually he's better than ever it's just that khabib and dustin evolved a lot.
The Usman-Masvidal rematch was necessary for the sole reason that Kamaru ended the Jorge hype train which is something that we should all thank him for
Actually Sakuraba and Wanderlei were scheduled to fight a 4th time in December of 2004, but a back injury forced Saku out of the fight so Wand got Mark Hunt (at least 40kg heavier) as a late remplacement and only accepted because Pride gave him 500k (that was a lot at the time)
I went in big on Holly to beat Ronda at 9 to 1 odds. Missed the fight live as I was in a taxi leaving the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival en route to a sports bar in Richmond and had to listen to the audio via my phone. For sure TAB and Sportsbet odds in Australia were 9 to 1.
I was all in in the Rhonda bandwagon. A chick friend of mine had been following female fighting for years. She put a grand and Holly at the casino and gave me even odds for a hundo. I was laughing at her for weeks in the run up. I also lost $100 to her on Conor v Nate. Never bet with her again lol
Top10 TUF Coaches fight that never happened: 1. Belfort vs Wand 2 2. Wand vs Sonnen 3. Dos Santos vs Lesnar 4. Hughes vs Franklin at 185 5. Carwin vs Nelson 6. Conor vs Faber 7. Liddell vs Ortiz 3 (2010) 8. Minotauro vs Shogun 9. Gastelum vs Escudero 10. OldMan Liddell vs Less OldMan Griffin
@@Dukeflyhawker true but we know how that turned out when usada fucked over nick for a plant, both men are getting old & I sure as hell don’t want these men to be vegetables in the upcoming years from taking unnecessary shots to the head.
@@stonefish7337 yeah fair. They've both absorbed a lot of head shots over the years, but Robbie's only been KO'd twice, many years apart and Nick TKO'd twice, also many years apart. Both are known for good boxing defense, as well as offense. It's definitely still a risk, but I don't think as much as say a Chuck Liddell for example
Funny how, Conor McGregor never defended a single title and hasn’t won against a high level opponent in many years and got absolutely annihilated twice by Dustin Poirier and yet his fans still think he’ll be back and be champ…
People’s beliefs override any and all evidence of reality. This is all around us, all the time. LOTS of demonstrations of this recently whether MMA fandom, amateur immunologists, or amateur public health statisticians. In fact, when confronted with actual evidence to the contrary of one’s beliefs, most data shows that it actually leads to strengthening of their beliefs.
@Googlag Inmate #666 not at all, just stating that human beliefs trump all logic and reason, for many people. The OP doesn’t understand why people still think/thought Conor would be 2015 Conor again.
I miss when the UFC was more about the fights, and the best fighters, than the money. It seems it's what happens to people making a shit ton of money (Dana White)... All of the sudden it's all about wanting more money than any one person needs than the best fighters holding various belts.
Diaz vs McGregor 2... literally no purpose except money and favoritism. - Diaz was a late replacement for Dos Anjos. - The fight was a welterweight(neither fighters true weight-class.) - Nate won the first fight definitively. - UFC held the featherweight division hostage, just so Conor could challenge for dual-division champion. At least neither Poirier nor McGregor held a title when they rematched(again), the Diaz rematch put a whole division on hold.
McGregor is on a 2 fight losing streak, Hooker is on 2 fight losing streak, Ferguson is on a 3-4 fight losing streak, it makes sense for McGregor to fight either Hooker or Ferguson
Tbh I didnt have a problem with the Barao rematch. Dominate for so long and getting beat by a late replacement with a different style then he was expecting. Rematch made sense to me.
To give conor an immediate fourth fight , would be to completely invalidate the integrity of the sport . In no fathomable way has Conor earned the chance to fight Dustin or any other top 5.
The most insane thing was that a fourth fight between Sakuraba and Wanderlei was planned, Saku pulled out due to injury which lead to Wanderlei vs Mark Hunt as a replacement.
UFC publicly stated that they gave Poirier the option to take the money fight or the title fight. he even made it clear it was definitely for entertainment somewhere in the post conference
