News Kavanagh “It was going fantastic, really really good. I was really really happy. I wasn’t concerned”

I guess he means it's absolutely fantastic how much Conor has learned in the last 5 years.

I'm not sure he's wrong though.

He took more damage in the second round of the Khabib bout and the third was his most successful round of the fight.

I think it's silly to assume that the bout was over based on the success Poirier was having.

Poirier may have won but it's impossible to say anything definitive based on what happened.

The fight was stopped for an injury, akin to a fighter blowing out their knee. I think that reality is something that needs to be objectively acknowledged.

A definitive result can only be determined in a rematch. Which is precisely what Dana is planning on doing.

I feel like if it were any other fighter, everything I've said here would be acknowledged as being very rational and logical. But there is a very real double standard with all things McGregor.

If a tennis player blew out their knee out during a match, would that be considered a loss? That should highlight the absurdly of the logic and lack of critical thought being demonstrated by many.

And for the record, because I know certain people will assume it. I'm not a "fan" of McGregor. I have irish friends who have definitive proof that he is in fact a rapist. I have no interest in being unfavorable in any way, shape or form with regards to him.

That being said, I think that truth should be spoken, regardless of the name of the fighter and I don't think that sort of fairness is common with polarizing figures who spawn such emotionally reactive thought.

A rematch is the only way to produce a definitive result and there's really no way to argue against this.

Dustin wasn't really landing with anything too significant that you would be too concerned with as a coach. McGregor was defending well. He took more damage in the second round of the Khabib bout and the third was his most successful round of the fight.

The fight wasn't over by any stretch of the imagination

If a tennis match we're stopped due to an athlete blowing out their knee, it would be incredibly illogical to call that a loss.

Conor may very well have lost but we don't truly know anything because what happened was more akin to a freak accident than anything.

For a supposedly educated person, I would expect a higher level of critical thought from you.

I'm aware how people will respond to this because of the double standards which exist in regards to McGregor.

But again, I will use the analogy of a tennis player. If they blew their knee out during a match, it would be incredibly illogical and downright absurd to consider that result absolute.

A definitive result can only be determined in a rematch to any thinking human.

If you ask Dana, he would say the exact same thing and that's why an immediate rematch is likely to happen.
 
He said the exact same thing versus Khabib.

Said the fight was going brilliantly for Conor in all 4 rounds!

Conor was getting decimated on the ground, yet again. That was not a good performance. He landed one straight, a few leg kicks, and then got mauled for the better part of the round.

The fight was not looking good for Conor.

"If a tennis player blew out their knee out during a match, would that be considered a loss? That should highlight the absurdly of the logic and lack of critical thought being demonstrated by many."

So you are comparing a tennis match with zero physical contact
between the players to a fight..

Ok....

Look at what they told him after the Floyd fight. It ruined him. He really believes he's the best boxer in the ufc because Mayweather carried him 10 rounds.

He was.

He isn't anymore.

Not everyone believes he was carried. Teddy Atlas, Sugar Ray Leonard and the many pro boxers and people who know the sport included.

What happened was a combination of McGregor doing better than people realize with the fact that Floyd is 10 years past his prime and looking worse than any point throughout his career.

It isn’t a “rematch” bruh. It would be a fucking unnecessary FOURTH FIGHT between these two and Poirier already beat him 2 to 1. Weidman and Anderson lost their fights like that too, not to mention that Coner was going to lose that round 10-8. Coner loses 50% of his ko power after the first.

That isn't an argument though.

Throwing insults contributes nothing.

And only exposes the fact that you can't come up with a logical response as to why anything I've said isn't the truth.

A definite result fan only be determined in a rematch. It's that simple and there's really no argument that can be made against it.

Conor may very well have lost, given how the fight was going, that much we can acknowledge but because the fight was stopped due to injury, nothing can be said for certain.

I agree. Give Conor a rematch. When he recovers from his injury and beats a bunch of top 10 guys at Lightweight.

The fight was nowhere near over based on whatever successful Dustin had on the ground. Fighters have come back from infinitely worse scenarios.

Conor himself took more damage against Khabib in the second bout and his third was the most success of the fight.

The weidman silva fight ended similarly, you're 100% correct. However, that doesn't change the fact that what I've said here is the truth.

Those things were true with the Silva bout as well. But it would have been silly for his team to petition for a rematch if they valued his health. If Silva blew out his knee in his prime, most people wouldn't have considered that result definitive and petitioned for a rematch as well. That isn't the case here because there is a double standard with regards to McGregor.

If a boxer blew out their knee during a match, would that be considered a true loss? Absolutely not. Such logic would be pretty widely considered absurd.

That would be treating the result as if he were knocked out or finished. Which, again, would be incredibly irrational.

If Anderson Silva blew out his knee in his prime, would you respond the same way?

If a tennis player blew out their knee during a match, would you respond the same way?

Everything I'm saying here cannot be disputed, which is why, whether you like it or not, Dana will be making an immediate rematch.
