When I watch his last fight against Poirier, that fight was pretty good because you see the confidence on Conor, which is like based of you can tell that confidence is out of the work that he put in you know? He tried several submission in certain positions, which was all about his confidence. You can tell that he is very confident right there on that position because he’s been working on yeah.
