Just like real life, Conor needs to NOT get taken down. Because damn. Great fight before that, but once Chandler got the takedown, it was over embarrassingly quickly. But more embarassing than Conor's STOMACH tattoo? I don't think so, to be honest...(Didn't know grown men got stomach tattoos - or grown anyone for that matter).
