Firaz did a great piece on him after the 2nd porier fight, comparing his body language to max when porier was laying into them. Holloway stays calm, his face doesnt really change, he weathers the storm, circles out and resets. McGregor, in contrast, has the look of sheer panic on his face that hes about to be finished, he overextends and does get finished.

AlmightyCushion wrote: » The difference between Holloway and McGregor is that McGregor's foot was bollocksed so he couldn't just circle away. According to Kavanagh he had drop foot where something is putting pressure on the nerve and stops you sending a signal down it. I had that before and when you lift your foot off the ground it just flops downwards. Maybe his wasn't as bad as mine but in my case there was literally no signal getting through. I can imagine even a partial blockage would make it difficult to walk let alone fight with.

MrStuffins wrote: » There's likely a good reason for it. I doubt McGregor would make such a promise and reneg. Specifically since it was his idea IIRC? He had touted the idea of an exhibition in Dublin where they both donated to charity? Either way, the fella has 9 figures in the bank apparently recently doubled his net worth by selling his whiskey business. It would be hilarious if he claimed that he had to wait til his wage-packet came in to pay someone what he promised them.

Or maybe Mgregor is thinking stupid moves are smart and he can play with poriers head, I personally think he should be more focused on improving his fighting.

RoryMac wrote: » Poirier said he reached out 3 times to McGregor's team about where the funds would be used and got no replies so don't think that argument really holds much water. Also McGregor's suggestion in his reply that Poirier picking to fight him instead of going for the belt somehow showed a lack of morals is pretty sh!tty
yourdeadwright wrote: » Conor comes across as an ****ty human at times but I can not see him trying to swerve paying a donation to Charity , Its peanuts to him anyway, I'm sure its mix up , I'd have thought the Dustin would have just got in contact with Conor himself , The whole using twitter for drama is a bit childish .
