Seems like Eddie's plan is to be aggressive and put the heat on him, but every single time Conor's been pressured...he put the other guy down
- Aldo
- Brandao
- Brimage
- Random guy he KO'ed in 4 seconds.
Of course none of those guys I mentioned are as good as Alvarez (except Aldo)...but it still holds true that Conor does well in front of the headlights. I feel like the best way to go about it, is the Mendes plan...no real pressuring, let him come to you and then dump him on his back.
Even the guys that he beat like Holloway, Mendes, Poirier, and Siver....were surviving a bit longer by waiting back. Poirier and Siver even dropped McGregor a few times with the leg kicks. Holloway landed a few clean shots even while being so young...and Mendes was one of the first guys that put McGregor on the burner.
