I give the speed/timing advantage to Connor and the endurance/durability advantage to Dustin

Brilliant strategy from Poirier right from the start.
Force McGregor to wrestle and make him use his gas tank right away. #UFC257

THE MEAN
This is what happened, when you change your team, leave the sparring partners who made you a champion and sparring with little kids, far away from reality.
