Stephen A. Smith shouldn't be commenting on mma or combat sports in general

Trask pierce Month ago

Derek Larsen Month ago

Yes...back to reality...i like to see arrogance put in its place

XxGet WetxX Month ago

Even if Connor did lose cause he lost a bit of his way he still beat conor that's it

Zirk Kriz Month ago

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

Chael is the Voice of MMA

Mr. Elliot Month ago

@Rock girl What exactly is the question? So I could give you an informative answer

Lmao Stephen A Smith has no idea whats going on

Samuelfish Month ago

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.

crfdln Month ago

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.

Rick Month ago

Conor is a joke

someone you know Month ago

You need to get rid of Stephen Smith. That guy is a disgrace.

James Pomeroy Month ago

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.

Rock girl Month ago

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

Zach Ball Month ago

I'm just here to hear what kind of nonsense is spewing out of Stephen's mouth now.

UNTOLD official YouTube Month ago

Dustin can beat him again too

Anu Month ago

Rambo John Month ago

Conor can be quiet now.

YOLO Month ago

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"

bouytt guyt Month ago

You guys gotta put some respek on Charles Oliveira name!! 👊

Ru2yaz Month ago

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.

Drew Clise Month ago

Chael yes ... smith .. No

Cole Month ago

Lmao Stephen A Smith has no idea whats going on

Marvid Eladiv Month ago

Conner Mcgregor was outclassed and outmatched and unprepared for Dustin Poirier unslaught. Conner Mcgregor is old and cold.

Excuses Excuses Excuses, Conor got beat down fellas

T 69 Month ago

foopyu nooui Month ago

The testy floor physically curve because roof nationally fit into a fancy structure. equal, poised cabbage

William Worley Month ago

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

billybrooks1 Month ago

Conner wasn't fired up. He didn't have that look in his eyes. When you lose the fire, its time to retire.

Rose Hawk Month ago

Conner "the excuse" McGregor

Tyrone B Month ago

Anyone else starts to cringe right before Steven A, starts talk MMA...ugh!

Willie Duitt Month ago

That one dude should take those earrings off, he may stop yelling all the time.

California Caveman Dastardly Dave Month ago

Im just here to hear Steven A turn this racial, cuz Steven is a black supremacist

Giovanni Rivera Month ago

Why is Stephen A Smith commenting on this fight. Just stop it. Stick to basketball and football

Bacdafucup Month ago

Shame on ESPN for allowing an ignorant clown like Stephen A Smith to continue to talk about combat sports. It's pathetic

vinasu maaj Month ago

SAS needs speech and diction lessons.

Peter Doherty Month ago

stephen smith has no voice in the world of martial arts my opinion hate it or love it

yaliso gioouy Month ago

SAS needs speech and diction lessons.

Jared Warren Month ago

Excuses Excuses Excuses, Conor got beat down fellas

Reginald Carroll Month ago

How does chael know

digdeep0169 Month ago

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.

Zachary Mitchell Month ago

Significant awesome wonderful win. Congratulations.

Mr. Juiceballs_Jr Month ago

I feel Conor was to stiff, look at his other fights he’s loose and fluid, I feel like this is why he lost

Jason Fedder Month ago

When are they going to post the full fight?

Danny Banks Month ago

Why is Stephen a Smith commentating on mma?

kevin lee Month ago

Dislike when Stephen A talks about mma

Psychlos Kerbango Month ago

Could you be any more annoying?

Christopher Smith Month ago

Stephen A shouldn't be talking MMA. This man is a joke.

The Missourian Month ago

Does this mean he can now fight jake Paul? LOL

Ming Chew Month ago

SAS needs speech and diction lessons.

Shaw197 Jay Month ago

Stephen A is a jack of all trades. He give an explicit breakdown

Leo Dottavio Month ago

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

Tim G Month ago

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.

Timothy Jason Lao Month ago

Just stick to basketball stephen A.

Ash Month ago

Stephen A. Smith's paycheck is made out to "Our Idiot. Love ESPN. U make us all look good."

Still Roaring Month ago

All of you who are commenting on this like it was a legit fight need to have your fingers amputated.

Shamas Tz Month ago

Cheal voice needs tuning

anthony davis Month ago

Conner all talk

vinasu maaj Month ago

So fun and awesome!

mikeyb byekim Month ago

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.

Harun SkyWalker Month ago

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!

vinasu maaj Month ago

This video legendary no??????

Harun SkyWalker Month ago

Chael Sonnen is crying inside that his trash-talking leader McGregor got humbled. Stephen A Smith speaks facts 100% of the time.

Alec Month ago

Why dude screaming tho

Moloko Rasefate Month ago

Biggest Casual in combat sports Stephen A 😂😂😂

teyoken Month ago

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.

JB Month ago

It's true though, Ceronne can't handle the bright lights. He chokes every-time he's the main event.

Sweet Music Month ago

Why is nobody including Gaethje

Don Cabrera Month ago

Stephen A. can shove it. His MMA knowledge is non-existent. Making Uncle Chael look even better than he already is.

Hei C Month ago

WHY IS HE SCREAMING!!!!

iceman Bayboi Month ago

Stop making excuses for Mcregogor

Randy Adams Month ago

Are you kidding. Take that money and retire. M. Spinks 9 mins with the Great One 12 million see ya!

David Duarte Month ago

Calf kicks, and what have you.

Danny Vue Month ago

geez that guy screams man... lmao

Ivan H Month ago

Dang, Steven A practiced saying "Nemegemedov" for this segment 😳. He was on point!

Liam Morgans Month ago

Stephen A did a good analysis here in my opinion, quit whining everyone

Jack Sparrow Month ago

2014: bald guy lost 2021: bald guy lost

MattIsLoling Month ago

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
