There episodes seem to show a lot during the fight i seemed to have missed watching the fight months ago!

Good few leg kicks by Dustin I never clocked the first time.

If you are running adblock you might have to turn it off to get the player working

Its only since I've had to knock adblock off that it wont work, used to work like a dream before RTE "blocked" adblock, I just switch to Explorer now anytime I want to use the RTE player gave up trying with Chrome

Tigger · 10-02-2015 7:25pm

i got it running on chrome but i don't remember how

watching that back i love seeing how much energy Conor gets from hearing the lads singing

Urijah Faber on Conor, starts about 6.20

crybaby · 17-02-2015 6:26am

I think Conor would annihilate Faber

The fact that fighters like Schaub are saying he's a big guy when they meet him says a lot. It's not like Schaub hasn't met plenty of top level FWs, LWs before.
Bravo is a big fan also. He was impressed with his nogi jits after the Holloway fight. And since then I believe they've been on the mats together when Conor dropped into a 10th Planet randomly.

Also, Gunni is rumoured for the Vegas card.

Just looked at Holloway's record, since his loss to Conor he's gone on a 5 fight win streak, to me that makes Conor's demolition of him all the more sweet

Never heard Kavanagh say that. But I've estimated him to be 165-ish before, so I'd believe it tbh.

It's hard to say where that slots. Some of the guys and WW and MW cut huge amounts too.

He'd also, arguably, won his previous 4 fights too when he fought McGregor as he'd won 3 on the trot before losing a bullsh*t decision to Dennis Bemudez. Holloway is no joke!

BeepBeep! · 18-02-2015 11:02am

Kavanagh alluded to something like this in a tweet, something like 'Now for my next trick, I turn 145lb into 165lb" after Conor had weighed in. Don't think he gave a timeframe but thats a massive weight gain for a featherweight.

DeVore · 18-02-2015 12:18pm

Holloway is also the only one Conor hasn't knocked out too, no? And while yes, his knee was part of that... Holloway got lit up by jabs and uppercuts for most of the match and soaked it all up. He's one tough dude (are all Hawaiians tough? I can think of a good few who have coconuts for heads as far as I can see)

The knee is part of it of course. But he also lasted longer that any other opponent by far by the time the knee injury happened.

Halloway also broke his foot in the first round off his first kick which for some reason is never spoken about ,

Was it not his toe?

I could be wrong but I think it was his foot, Think Dana mentioned it in the post fight press conference at the time it was a toe but Hollaway confirmed it was his foot

CurryFlavoured · 18-02-2015 3:46pm

Holloway broke his foot at the very beginning, neither fighter was near 100% for most of that fight. I wouldn't be all that surprised if they fight again at some stage, Holloway is a big prospect.

Holloway class but I reckon he lacks the power at the moment to beat the top guys,

My thoughts exactly. He has very good stand up, pretty good ground game, but seems to be lacking in power to knock guys out.

Harsh considering he's finished 3 of his last 5 fights with (T)KOs. Huge prospect and I do think he'll beat Cub. Cub is overrated for me.

Bit harsh alright, I suppose my argument would be the 3 he T(KO)'d, 2 of them were nobodies, and Akira lost his last 3 fights via T(KO). Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Holloway, and I think he'll be one of the contenders for sure.
Agree with you on Cub though, I'll be putting money on Holloway to win.
