and Mendes still landed a lot on the feet and destroyed Conor in his guard

Alvarez isn't going to gas halfway through the 2nd round either
 
TS, you casuals need to study the fight game before you're fit to post threads or offer opinions.
 
Reach is overrated because people want an excuse to downplay Jones' success. Eddie is significantly larger and stronger than Mendes or Conor. He gets Conor on the ground, Conor isn't getting up until the round ends. And that's where he wins this fight, if he wins.

Destoryed Conor is his guard? Did we watch a different fight? Conor elbowed the shit out of Chad from his guard
 
Alvarez is speaking a lot but he's been average on the whole in the UFC.

Conor will KO this fool within 2 rounds. No doubt about it.

I was going to post an ironic answer that said pretty much this. Something along the lines of : oh I forgot that reach equalled striking ability.

And Conor was the one bleeding from his forehead.

Im a Conor fan but dont be delusional.
 
If Conor can provide adequate TDD in the first round, Eddie will gas just as much as Conor. You can say whatever you'd like. But Eddie gassed against Pettis. If Pettis had any punching power, Eddie would have been in trouble.

However, I don't think Conor will be able to stay on his feet.
 
The moment you realise it's still about 2ft shorter than Nate's, whose orangatang arms couldn't touch Conor in the rematch. Conor was like a cobra, his counters were a thing of beauty. Eddie's going to have get wild to land and you don't want to get wild against Conor.

I think so. Conor got bombed on from the top by Mendes and had no means of escaping until Mendes gassed out of his mind
 
The moment your realize Alvarez has a significant advantage on the ground, in the clinch and the longer the fight goes.
 
You'll find out how meaningless that stat is when the conman is getting carted off on a stretcher. 43 days and santa clause dies.
 
Mendes lost. What about it?
That means he never had any sucess leading up to his finish.... These are the same people that only remember the first round of the 1st nate fight, ironic.

Mendes couldn't even budge conor with any of this strikes..and he hits 10x harder than eddie....And mendes is a far superior wrestler than eddie..so that comparison doesn't make sense.
