I swear these machines just record how fast the bag goes up and doesn’t actually take the full power of the punch to measure correctly.

Another fan took the scored at face value, saying that considering how good McGregor did, it was a shame he didn’t stick around for more matches.

Conor’s always had a good punch. It’s a shame he didn’t stick around. Could have had some banger fights.

One fan said it was surprising that McGregor was able to even get a higher score, considering that he looked incredibly inebriated.

Conor looks drunk and ngl that punch looked like he fooked it up and it barely connected. Was suprsing to see a higher score.

Another fan poked fun at Poirier for being right-handed.

Poirier is a fake southpaw he is right handed thats why he always jabs so much and switches orthodox all the time to throw the big right
