He gassed against Nate both fights.
Yes, Conor could beat Stephens. I also think Stephens could knock out Conor too. I think it would be a fun fight to watch.
I'll look for you IF Conor fights again. I'll bet you $50 Conor loses to whoever he fights next. Conor is not the same as he use to be.

I won’t bet BMI fly because I don’t think he can’t lose, but if it’s stephens, I’ll gladly take that bet.

Conor will never fight again. He’s out shopping a new career, which he doesn’t really need. If Conor ever fights again it will be around 2022 because he’s broke, which would mean he’s been getting drunk every day and doing coke for years, which is what it would take to blow the money he has already made, and he’d be a push over
But he ain’t fighting again

Conor will fight by the end of the yeae.
Nate Diaz or GSP. I am so sure of it, I'd gladly bet money on it.

Conor made a post a day or two on his Instagram page saying that he will in fact fight, it’s not up for debate. Staying relevant, maybe? But I do take him for a man of his word when it comes to fighting.

As for the illegal knee that “didn’t land,” we can’t really say that. Often a fighter gets KtFO from a blow that doesn’t look, in slo mo replay, to have landed well at all.
I would uphold the appeal and turn this fight into a No Contest.

I would uphold the appeal and turn this fight into a No Contest. People keep saying it "didn't connect". I get it, as a fighter, and a fight fan, its easy to say that something that didnt land flush didnt connect. If someone jabs me in sparring and it skips off the side of my head, it may not be the most effective jab, but it is still a jab that connected. I say it was completely illegal and I'm surprised the ref didnt pause the fight. Add the illegal elbows and it makes that last flurry look really desperate and shady for stephens. The knee connected, it just didnt connect hard or flush, but still an illegal strike.

I can't remember the new rules. But didn't the other guy only have 1 knee on the ground when the knee was thrown? Wouldn't that be legal if only one knee was down?
I thought for a split second both hands and one knee were off the mat

I thought for a split second both hands and one knee were off the mat I thought if any knees are on the ground then the fighter is grounded. I believe the new rule was to prevent people who were slightly bent over to put a hand on the floor to be considered grounded meaning if two feet are on floor and hands as well, then he’s not considered grounded. May be off though.

Knee was ok when he picked his hand off the ground, no? It's 2 hands on the ground now, isn't it?
And the elbows, its not Stephens fault if dude turns his head after they are launched. Id have to see it in slo mo again.

Loco, we’re not saying it affected the outcome of the fight, just debating whether they were legal or not. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

It most certainly DID affect the outcome of the fight and here's why:
The fight should have been paused once the illegal knee landed. Both fighters go back to their corners. Dan should have then advised Josh that an illegal strike was thrown and that he had time to recover. The cage-side doctor should have then been called into the cage to check on Josh and determine whether or not he's ok to continue. If he was cleared to continue, a point should have been deducted from Jeremy.

I think this scenario could have happened without complaint for the simple fact that he threw and landed an illegal strike, but that is the only reason. Not because it caused damage, or the strike itself affected the outcome.

I didn't realize his knees were down, I haven't seen it since the event and the few replays they showed. Yeah, that's on the ref if so.
