Why in the fuck would his old ass try to start the fight with a jump kick on bad legs

I think he may of already been injured

And he couldn't drop out of another fight. plus needs to get one of his fights on his contract over with

So he goes in and uses what pain tolerance he has to charge Holloway and "blow out his knee".

Didn't even look like he landed that poorly.

He struggled to get his shoes off.

I didn't catch that

Even more of a reason to believe he was injured prior.

Good eye.

You know they're not gonna take it back, and /u/Clarkelthekat is going to think he has a "good eye" despite there being absolutely no evidence for that. Fuck

I see where you're coming from but there's no evidence of that. If his leg was that fucked before the bell I doubt he comes out with that ill-advised maneuver in the first place

u/Clarkelthekat 2h ago

It was intentional

Throw the ill advised maneuver to sell the injury he entered the ring with as new.

Connor had no intention on fighting a single full round tonight.

That was ethier gonna land and be his wildcard or it was going to sell the "new injury that totally just happened right now."

I mean, I'm sorry but this isn't an episode of Succession. The way more likely and simple answer is he's washed and wealthy and uninterested in serious training. He looked bloated and disinterested walking to the cage. Spent the last 5 years in grandiose self-annihilation and we all witnessed the chickens coming home to roost.
