    I definitely think we are going to see a bit of a different stance/style from Conor tonight. I've seen lots of video of him with his hands raised much higher, more similar to a boxer and I think he mentioned something to that note in one of his interviews. Mentioned something to do with conserving energy by not holding the hands low.

    I assume keeping his hands high is to defend the head kick.

    Going to be interesting to see what exactly phil sutcliffe has done with Conor's striking.

    Cowboy shoots within the first 30 seconds and McGregor taps within a minute.

    Very tame reception for Conor. Star power IS fading.

    So is this guy Cerrone the MMA equivalent of Iron Mike or Barry O in wrestling?

    A longer fight would have been great but Cowboy has always been a slow starter. Great win for Conor to be fair after that lay off.

    In fairness to him he went to Donald first - albeit to tell him he broke his nose with his shoulder :pac:

    Conor looked so calm from the walkout to the opening bell to the finish. Even when he had Cowboy on the ground he was so relaxed. Looked in good nick.

    If this second act involves regaining a UFC title it will be something else.

    In the ridiculously unlikely event he stays at 170 and takes the belt he surely enters the GOAT conversation as the only ever 3 weight champion.

    I thought he was finished but my god he has some talent, his left hand is unteachable.

    Donald was too happy to be slaughtered either way conor would win but he seemed just happy he was there.

    Shoulders...haven’t seen that before

    Let’s hope he stays on the straight and narrow and doesn’t lose the run of himself

    Really?

    First thing he did was go and give Cerrone a hug and then acted decently again towards himself and his grandmother.

    He really wasn't all that disrespectful to any other fighter either. Didn't seem him getting in anyones face or getting personal with insults. I think he is allowed to be excited after winning a fight.

    He seemed to have a ton of nervous energy after the fight, understandably. Talking about the new sized bottles cracked me up no end.

    I love Cowboy. I have never seen Cowboy be that wrecked, ever. And he has been in some wars. Fair fcuks to Conor. I don't like him as a person but was always a fan as a fighter. That win sets up so many interesting fights. If Tony wins in April though, there is only one fight to make. Also, like the FW division when he first entered the UFC, the WW division is a murderers row in the top 5. Way it should be too.

    I thought he looked a lot more tense than usual in the walkout and in the ring before the fight started. Certainly wasn't tense when the bell rang

    I agree with this. He also seemed a lot more humble doing his usual jump around the octagon and no "McGregor strut" either. Even his kiss in the middle was aimed at everyone but Cowboy it seemed.
