If Poirier wins again, is that curtains for Conor as a cutting edge fighter? A spate of losses, a lack of adjustment or development in his last fights, a loss of that critical punching power etc. He’ll never be a scrub, but are his best days in the ring behind him?
I’d absolutely love it if he comes in looking like a new fighter, or at least with a different strategy but at this point I’m not sure I can see it happening.
After this, if he loses, just legend fights for Conor to finish off the "superstar career" imo.
I wouldn't be disappointed to see him turn around and focus on the fighting and improving to be the best, just don't think it'll happen (like you)
Every fight conner loses now the likely hood of him fighting a youtuber increases exponentially. Bisping and others have already called this and if he loses to piorier again i don't see his chances against Gaethje, Chandler or Oliviera being much better. So off to the celeb circus fights.
