The only way Rory would have been owned harder is if OSA would have found him alone in the locker room.
Here's Tristrar's legendary mma coach Firas Zahabi doing another break down video. The same coach in Rory's corner last night. W/o his coaching he would not of beat Woodley or been ahead of Lawler. IMHO If Lawler's or someone similar is in your weight class you either put him on his back all night, switch weight classes or find a new career. You do not trade blows w/ Lawler for 5 rounds on 2 or 3 occasions. Rory's a perfect Bellator candidate.
Can't believe he shares these publicly tbh.
There's stuff in these some UFC fighters don'y know about.
Rory didn't know til he hired him.
Ehn, I think most of us have bigger fish to fry with Dana than that. EG fighter salaries, nepotism, Tito Ortiz, etc.
But overall there is simply no denying that hes done wonders for the sport.

Firas was the one telling Rory to keep his distance last night between rounds. So Rory did exactly what his corner wanted. So I'm not sure how you can claim Firas is the reason he was winning and then at the same time say he lost because he kept his distance....
I agree that take downs are the way to go but as I mentioned before, if Hendricks can't take Lawler down Rory has little chance. so it's hard to criticize Rory;s team for the strategy employed.
I'm not saying the fix was in, it wasn't. BUT There's a interview where Mendes talks about nobody wanting to see Aldo Mendes 3 and for that he's thankful for Mcgregor etc. This was before Aldo pulled out.
1. If Mendes wins it Aldo Mendes 3
2. Mendes talks about his n Conors love of money
3. Mendes, Faber, TJ are pro UFC as it gets, they're never crying about pay or thinking about leaving the UFC. They want the UFC to be successful, no doubt.
4 If I'm Dana or Lorenzo I'm confident Mendes Faber and crew knows how nice a Conor victory will be for everyone without any weird winks or smokey back rooms, bundles of cash.
I'll just say this, Mendes made no deliberate effort to lose but Mendes purposely gave 95% and not 100% and let the cards fall where they may. Mendes is way harder to hit and he could of safely kept Conor on his back all of the second round.
Did you guys see the normally passive and docile Herb Dean set up a possible point deduction from Mendes in case of a close decision. No fixes or kickbacks, just everyone knew which side of their toast is buttered.

It would be best if you stopped making MMA posts, FPS_Russia.
