I appreciate what he's done for the sport but he isn't beating poirier at this point


I agree with most of your point, but disagree with this. Dustin admitted last night that Conor had him buzzing before the fight went to the ground.

Conor can still strike with the best of the best. What he can’t do is dedicate himself to a ground game. It really isn’t cut and dry as to who would win between the two unless Dustin decides to just take him down and stay on him all fight.

Even when Conor was on the ground last night he did fight back and land some vicious elbows of his own. All it takes it one, either way.

Sorry, but Dustin won every aspect of that fight. Connor got rocked and reached to clinch, then desperately tried a guillotine with no body control (basic BJJ), then got his head dribbled off the canvas for a couple minutes.

He can dedicate himself to the ground game the rest of his life but the gap is too wide.

Illegal elbows to the top of the head that only he gets away with, did it to Khabib too
