Nate Diaz has the 2nd most submission wins in UFC history(Royce Gracie has the most). He is also the naturally bigger man yet Conor easily prevented him from taking him down in their 2nd fight. Even in the first fight Nate easily got swept in the 1st round. It was only when Conor hit a wall and completely gassed in the 2nd that he got subbed.

Also Mcgregor's first submission loss was to a guy who's 15 wins were all by submission and 14 of them in the 1st round. And eveyone knows his 2nd loss by sub to Duffy. 10 of Duffy's 15 wins are by submission.

And after he blew out his acl against Holloway, he took the fight to the ground and basically beasted Holloway for the rest of the fight.

His ground game is underrated.

edit: more proof that its underrated ---> http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/mcgregors-ground-game-is-underrated.3327349/page-4#post-120646695

Underrated? Yes, because everyone says its non-existent when in fact, it's just not good.

- Has been tapped early 3 times by very basic submissions.

- Offers no submission threat himself.

- Takedown defence was awful the only time he ever faced a top wrestler (that he probably outweighed by 20lbs)


Nah, it isnt underrated at all. It's a clear weakness in his game. You're a biased fan is all.
 
People can't attack Conors stand-up. So that's why they focus so much on his ground game (or lack of it).

The honest truth is no one has seen enough of it to make an accurate assessment.

I think it is EXTREMELY underrated. His only weakness is his cardio.
 
Him begging Nate to stand up showed us how good his ground game was.

Based on what??????

The fact he's been tapped out 3 times? Or the fact he offers no submission threat himself? Or the fact his takedown defence is garbage vs decent wrestlers?

You're just guessing/reaching/hoping.

Nate was begging Conor to come down because he was getting blasted on the feet.

This topic is about Conor's BJJ being underrated and I stated Coiner was begging Nate to get up. This showed us how "underrated" Coiner BJJ is.... LOL@Coiner non-existent BJJ in the fight.


Try to stay on topic.

based on him dominating Holloway on the ground. Holloway subbed Cub Swanson who's really good on the ground.

If Nick or Nate told their opponents to stand up, you'd be going on about how badass they are.
