This guy Stephen makes no contribution to the discussion.
Mad biased.
Stephen A always correct
"...Norm-may-GO-Madoff." -Steven A. Smith
How now everyone is using the excuse layoff
Poirier showed he's got a granite chin
conner had month's to train and he retired him self so no fights got schelduled for him equales big layoff he sucks and is big looser #3
Mc shouldn't have cut his hair! Has he heard the story of Samson and Delilah?
McGregor vs Dustin 3 then Diaz 3 that’s what should be on he’s mind two winning trilogy’s & retire from ufc he won’t beat khabib he knows that & talk of him & pacquiao in boxing has got to stop he’ll get flattened unless he don’t care & just wants one last big pay day!
Idk why they're asking the dude on the right detailed questions about MMA
Stephen a didn’t know what mma was 6 years ago. Lmao
Steve not a MMA guy
Nemegemedov
Why is chael telling? I would love to know the answer.
Stephen A. Smith shouldn't be commenting on mma or combat sports in general
Got ya back
Yes...back to reality...i like to see arrogance put in its place
Even if Connor did lose cause he lost a bit of his way he still beat conor that's it
SAS is the new Mike Goldberg of the UFC. That being said, shoutout to Khabib. He humbled these two. Now Dustin is a better fighter and Connor learned to watch what he says/does. It's baby steps, but good lesson learned

Lmao Stephen A Smith has no idea whats going on
Props to Stephen A. Smith. His MMA analysis has improved dramatically! You can clearly tell he went back and made it a goal to master the intricacies of the sport.. If y’all remember he even did some MMA training in the gym. For all the talk BLM does, SAS actually took action and I can say he legit gained his black race a ton of respect with his example of taking blacks where they’ve never been before. Thanks to him, BLM in MMA.
Chael, you're an idiot. Poirier had only one fight in 2020 too. Where was the ring rust in Poirier? They BOTH had only one fight in 2020 -- that's not a legit excuse for big mouth Conor.
Conor is a joke
You need to get rid of Stephen Smith. That guy is a disgrace.
Chael Sonnen's regular speaking voice is the same as when you introduce your grandpa to earphones for the very first time, and then ask him what he thinks of them.

I'm just here to hear what kind of nonsense is spewing out of Stephen's mouth now.
Dustin can beat him again too
what is Stephen doing here🙄
Everytime I see Stephen A on every segment, I remember Charles Barkley...."They ain't goanna work me like a dog and not pay me." 😅
😱 UNCLE CHAEL AND STEPHEN A!!! 🖤🖤💪🏽✅
Conor can be quiet now.
To be honest Cowboy didn't hit Conor. For the first time after several years. Conor get actual kicks and hit after being spoil in money. Conor" where the fook am i"

You guys gotta put some respek on Charles Oliveira name!! 👊
These yahoos saying Conor didn't do this or that, where's the credit for Dustin and his team by countering Conor's game plan.
Chael yes ... smith .. No
Lmao Stephen A Smith has no idea whats going on
Conner Mcgregor was outclassed and outmatched and unprepared for Dustin Poirier unslaught. Conner Mcgregor is old and cold.

The testy floor physically curve because roof nationally fit into a fancy structure. equal, poised cabbage
Jesus Christ ESPN stop letting Stephen A talk about a sport he knows nothing about. A rock would sound better with his thoughts on the sport
Conner wasn't fired up. He didn't have that look in his eyes. When you lose the fire, its time to retire.
Conner "the excuse" McGregor
Anyone else starts to cringe right before Steven A, starts talk MMA...ugh!
That one dude should take those earrings off, he may stop yelling all the time.
Im just here to hear Steven A turn this racial, cuz Steven is a black supremacist
Why is Stephen A Smith commenting on this fight. Just stop it. Stick to basketball and football
why TF is this basketball head puppet talking about stuff he knows nothing about? get him dafuqoutahere
Everytime I see Stephen A on every segment, I remember Charles Barkley...."They ain't goanna work me like a dog and not pay me." 😅
You guys gotta put some respek on Charles Oliveira name!! 👊
Shame on ESPN for allowing an ignorant clown like Stephen A Smith to continue to talk about combat sports. It's pathetic

How does chael know
coner was over-hyped by the media. that was his best game, according to his camp, that was their best. but he was sub par to a dominating Diamond Dustin. Knocked out. de-railed. and now with 6 month medical suspension, he'll be lucky to fight again in 2021.
Significant awesome wonderful win. Congratulations.
I feel Conor was to stiff, look at his other fights he’s loose and fluid, I feel like this is why he lost
When are they going to post the full fight?
Why is Stephen a Smith commentating on mma?
Dislike when Stephen A talks about mma
Could you be any more annoying?
Stephen A shouldn't be talking MMA. This man is a joke.
Does this mean he can now fight jake Paul? LOL
SAS needs speech and diction lessons.
Stephen A is a jack of all trades. He give an explicit breakdown
They got stephen a when they could have another mma fighter or coach. I'd much rather hear from Trevor Whitman over this clown with his misshapen head
Connor is not a top 10 fighter, his ranking is because he sells tickets. Connor is 1-2 over the last 4 years with that 1 win against Cerrone, hardly a record that deserves a top 5 opponent. Most fighters with that record would not even have a contract with the UFC. The casual and delusional fanbase that Connor has is unparalleled. Side note, Stephen A is a clown that should not be commentating anything other than basketball.
Just stick to basketball stephen A.
Stephen A. Smith's paycheck is made out to "Our Idiot. Love ESPN. U make us all look good."
All of you who are commenting on this like it was a legit fight need to have your fingers amputated.
Cheal voice needs tuning
Conner all talk
So fun and awesome!
1:25 ya but that KO of Poirier was basically the 'punchers chance' which he went down and couldnt recover before McGregor pounced on him. Should've been a different fight. Actually many of conors fights should've been different. But he's still a great fighter.
If Conor fights Khabib, Ferguson, Oliviera, Gaethje or rematches Poirier he is getting knocked out. Time to call out mid-tier fighters like Nate Diaz and Cerrone, even Al Ianquinta, Kevin Lee and Dan Hooker. He is not elite and they all know it. But he is rich!

This video legendary no??????
Chael Sonnen is crying inside that his trash-talking leader McGregor got humbled. Stephen A Smith speaks facts 100% of the time.
Why dude screaming tho
Biggest Casual in combat sports Stephen A 😂😂😂
The best fight for conor would be the trioligy fight for nate, and if he gets finished in that fight i say its time for him to consider retirement.
It's true though, Ceronne can't handle the bright lights. He chokes every-time he's the main event.
Why is nobody including Gaethje
Stephen A. can shove it. His MMA knowledge is non-existent. Making Uncle Chael look even better than he already is.
WHY IS HE SCREAMING!!!!
Stop making excuses for Mcregogor
Are you kidding. Take that money and retire. M. Spinks 9 mins with the Great One 12 million see ya!
Calf kicks, and what have you.
geez that guy screams man... lmao
Dang, Steven A practiced saying "Nemegemedov" for this segment 😳. He was on point!
Stephen A did a good analysis here in my opinion, quit whining everyone
2014: bald guy lost 2021: bald guy lost
I say put him in there with Max Holloway, it'll be a big event and Conor really doesn't have to be worried about getting knocked out but he'll definitely get those rounds in...actually idk maybe Max would finish him in the state hes in Max has been looking great has last few fights
ITS A MONEY SCAM...CONOR GAVE THIS ONE SO THEY CAN MAKE A BIGER MONEY BOUT THE TIE BREAKER...
Can't stay on the top forever Conor McGregor is DONE !
I want to see an interum belt between chandler and porier whoever wins get to fight khabib
Conor is a part-time fighter now. Beating Conor means nothing now. I mean, this doesn't say much.
Sapo 🖕
Stephen A Smith: talking too much b/c he knows too little.
Please stop letting Stephen A talk about any type of combat sports... I can not take any more of it!
