Watching the big mouth getting humbled never gets old
Heartbreaking for mac..? not really, he deserved and owned the loss - he got it coming after dishing it out for some years, verbal abuses, tough talk, up-yours etc etc - it happens to all who walks the road of self-ego achievement, it goes with the territory. he too will stand before the great judge one day to account for how he lived his life.
He’s so arrogant. I usually don’t want people to lose but, he deserves to.
McGregor is a washed-up over-rated Leprechaun-artist
Lol you ready to get Jake Paul conor
Hate all you want but this man has had six of the top ten highest pay per veiws n UFC history. Make no mistake about it he was and still will be a draw.
Heartbreaking. Lol. Makes too much money. Glad he lost. Now, he can go back to picking on old men in bars.
He was over rated anyway 😂
Seeing Conor lose is just so sweet 🥲
"Where's your talk now?" -Khabib
Heartbreaking? Who is the stupid guy who wrote this headline?
When Poirier won I heard a cheer, a cheer from an old man in Dublin who got sucker punched by McGregor celebrating the end of Conor's career.
Come back you try and do it Conor reality Khabib stood with you and he knocked you down Not You knocking him down
heartbreaking? grow some balls “the guardian”
Heartbreaking? More like joy inducing! 😂
I mean, he punched an old man who was probably drunk and even that didn’t knock the guy out. Connor is done.
Of course their thumbnail was a picture of Conor punching Poirier lol
Heartbreaking? I couldn't be happier with the result. A disgusting person got destroyed by karma
Still love the Khabib back and forth, nothing would be bigger if they went for round 2
Conor, is losing his spark, with all the money he’s made and making.
Teeny try hard boys: we love Conor!
“You try and do it” He did....
Easy win

The bum has been exposed finally
Khabib already smashed Conner. Conner had nowhere to go but to the dog box the grub.
Amazing video man
Conner is a grub. Assaults the elderly. Deserves no respect.
I’ve met Dustin p about 7 times bc he goes to roller fight studio we’re I train
Of course their thumbnail was a picture of Conor punching Poirier lol
Teeny try hard boys: we love Conor!
It's about time this loud mouthed Fool was taken out... This is GREAT NEWS.
Khabib started it and Dustin finished it..
Superiority was obvious by Conor
He was said to be in his best shape, mentally and physically. Still got TKO.
Khabib would maul this guy again. He took his soul after that fight.. Connor has never been the same since
Jake paul thinks he can beat this guy
heartbreaking? grow some balls “the guardian”
Heartbreaking? I couldn't be happier with the result. A disgusting person got destroyed by karma
comes back stronger and better but man that was a tough pill to swallow for a lot of people.

Trop bien ta video comme tjrs
Easy win

The bum has been exposed finally
Amazing video man
He washed up... still got a big mouth
Sportsmanship I think it takes a lot of courage to sit there and answer questions after losing a fight and hurting like hell He is one of the greats, this loss may be something worth talking about but it's just because of his greatness
Really amazing
Superiority was obvious by Conor
One and only Conor
It’s not really heart breaking
See kids if you are rude and ignorant, people won't like you for one and you'll get kicked in the face..not a role model..
Didn't he say he was motivated? Conor is done for. Charles will submit him. Justin and Michael will probably knock him out. He will probably beat nutcase Tony though.
Trop bien ta video comme tjrs
Seeing Conor get knocked out was not exciting it was more heartbreaking than entertaining as a fan or a die hard fan seeing Conor just get sparked was just sad I hope he comes back stronger and better but man that was a tough pill to swallow for a lot of people.
T la meilleur, on t adore ???
How is it "heartbreaking" that Connor lost? It gives me great satisfaction to see him get beat up 😂
Hes always been an overated d bag
Conner has a bigger mouth than a bigger punch.
But I suppose Connor don't have that fire he once had
Well Done Justin you deserve it champ✊👑👏
Did you see the fear in his eyes when they mentioned Khabib hahahaha
I like how he says “we” because he realizes he’s there because of his team that’s cool
They Paid Dem Boyzs to Lose!!!
Still respect Connor and I much admire these warriors
Should've fought one of those youtube guys 🤣🤣
MMA is not boxing. I’m not surprised that an mma fighter beat a boxer
Conr got nocked out by Dustin
Conr vs Dustin conr got nocked out by dustin
No one remembers the loses, they only remember the victory’s. In the long run at least
A rich man no longer a hungry man, shouldn't talk so much with his mouth full hahaha....could watch this over and over and over.
Khabib would annihilate him
He need to bring back that “fooking” back
“You try and do it” He did....
Why wasn't conor using karate stance bouncing up and down wtf
Who is Conor to talk about "disrespectful". Serves him right. I wish him all the best in his retirement but I'm happy that he lost and hopefully learned a valuable lesson in life once and for all.
As a son of Ireland.... Connor kind of deserved his lose. He forgot were he came from.
He knew he will never be close to the No.1 after the fight with Khabib. All these bla-bla princess talks of his lames fans, not getting the class difference, after he got taken into pieces,. they get finally shout down, bravo ->Thanks Mr. Poirier. There will be great fights out there, with Max, Dustin, Justin and many more.
1:15 this boy really fell off
Not heartbreaking at all! This bully deserves it lol
He has always been overrated.
