ok why didnt he just ko dustin with them
I don't think they're KO shots. I mean, has anyone ever KO'd anyone with a shoulder strike?

EVERYONE knew why he wanted the Nate rematch right away. He needed it to keep his stock as high as possible. And he didn't change much. He was just more cautious to save his gas tank and was far more boxing oriented than the first fightEveryone counted Conor out and questioned why he would want to fight Nate again so soon after that.
Checking calf kicks won't fix the fact that he has no chin to speak of.Conor haters will pretend they won't watch but will watch without question.
Maybe "free" though.
As for Conor's stance, it was clear he was using a boxing stance. Nothing like what we been use to.
Maybe the leg kicks still kill him using his normal karate stance but putting more weight on your front foot with a boxing stance is pretty dumb in an MMA or kickboxing match.
Conor got stupid rich with his move to boxing but he also ruined his style with it for MMA.
The unexpectedness of a guy who generally doesn't wrestle and only throws strikes shooting in on you.
DC is a shite wrestler compared to Gus... couldn't even take Jon down while Gus did.....

I'm sure every fighter does the same thing whether publicly or within their circle.feels like we've heard this type of talk from him after a loss before........................... oh right. every single one of them.
He used a style that is more susceptible to leg kicks where he's heavier on his lead leg than had he used his previous stance.I'm confused on this stance explanation as a reason as to why he lost. If he went back to his usual wider karate stance, wouldn't he just be more susceptible to the leg kicks?
Glad that he mentions his incorrect stance and boxing mentality - that means he can put it right next time
Stock high? I don't know about that. He was still Featherweight champion at the time.EVERYONE knew why he wanted the Nate rematch right away. He needed it to keep his stock as high as possible.

I only made it to the point where he was hyping his "magic" pain spray.What a dissertation!
