  1. No one talks about Conor’s inability to adapt in this fight. We saw that Conor used to have a very high fight IQ – (example: mid fight against siver he switched his jumping roundhouse to a switch knee bc Siver was ducking under the kicks)

    He was never able to adjust to Porier’s gameplan. Porier was countering off the left hand with the calf kick and the check hook and Conor just kept throwing the left hand and stalking forward into the calf kick.

  2. “Detail”-From the Mind of Daniel Cormier…
    ”Any opponent will have a maximum of two eyes…… You poke one out and that’s half the eyes”

  3. I don’t understand what DC said at the end Dustin “building toward tbe body” ?!!
    Any wrestler care to shed some light 💡

  4. Imagine “Detail: from the mind of Daniel Cormier, ft. Jon Jones Vs Daniel Cormier 2” that be an episode to watch

  5. All this??? Really??? Watch it again… when dustin is walking away from a fallen conor… read dustins face… he can’t even believe he did it… done … 5 sec

  6. I like to imagine DC is in a classroom sitting at a projector in front of a room full of 4th grade students. Like, nobody asked him to come, he just showed up and started breaking down this fight.

  7. That was the coolest breakdown I’ve ever seen. Really cool and novel concept – DC is the man for the job. Thanks for this!

  8. Absolutely agree with whoever said that a good check hook is gonna be the "next calf kick". Great at punishing sloppy kicks and lazy jabs, which are incredibly common in MMA.

  9. I think Mcgregor will have an answer for the outside calf kicks but I don’t see him backing down on loading up for the counter. It’s too important to him for a path to victory. I just can’t see a way for him to beat DP

  10. watching this back a month later, this was such an awesome fight and all around showcase from porier

  11. This wasn’t just him breaking down the fight. This was him being one sided. I like Poirier a lot, but he was losing that fight until the leg kicks took their toll. Good job by him doing what he had to in order to win. But don’t make it sound like he was winning the fight the whole time.

  12. anyone else hear the dooming sound of a deadly void in the background during the whole video lmao

  13. You probably won’t see this but as a Mma fan that’s not a casual or hardcore I would like to learn more please do more of these

  14. Conor was too stiff during this fight. Take a look at the Silver fight.Conor was loose and flexible, trying to land all these kicks and combos. Hope Conor brings back his old self for their 3rd fight
