Can Conor kick Eddie without being taken down?

[Me&MrJones]

That's my question.

Conor has some nice kicks but will he be able to show any kicks without being taken down?

 

[Silverstar17]

We will probably find out.

I doubt Conor will try low kicks a lot though. Eddie trains with Frankie and Frankie is excellent at catching kicks.

Low kicks are generally not the best weapon against wrestlers unless you have a freakish ability to scramble and get back up like Aldo.

 

[DLX]

Sure he can. But he can't do any sort kick. He has to use his leg like a whip. That...is the key against a wrestler.

 

[Ramon Antonio]

Nah. Conor is just a guy with a left hand.

 

[Mixedfights]

He jump back kicked Chad in the throat. Also, kicked his body several times.

 

[The Moloko man]

He jump back kicked Chad in the throat. Also, kicked his body several times.

I remember when he did that......I was hard as a rock

 

[Russ82]

Conor will do whatever he wants

 

[Grijswaarde]

Conor can if he uses his get in get out strategy. And he probably will.

He probably also hopes Eddie will fail 2-3 takedowns and then decides to stand and trade with Conor.. which would probably result in Conor winning.

But again.. probably.

 

[Lawblaw]

Yes.

He'll do fookin nuthin!

 

[ShinyaAokiFan]

We don't know if Conor threw away 80% of his attacking arsenal just for the 2nd Diaz fight or is this going to be the new eco version of himself from now on to last the whole potential 5 rounds. Not even taking into account the rumour of a foot injury.

But wait is he facing Eddie Edgar or Frankie Alvarez??

Just because one team mate is good at something doesn't mean another 1 will be.

But I agree with what your saying for the most part.

He's facing Frankie Sanchez

 

[Whipit]

So Eddie has become a national wrestling champ all of the sudden huh? Only on Sherdog.

 

[Redhawks100]

It wouldn't be smart. I think it'll just be pressure, his measured boxing approach, and the obvious emphasis to sprawl on any of Eddie's takedowns.

Didn't Nate take him down from an attempted kick?

What I meant to say is that they have been training together for years. Despite actually having a lot of similarities in their fighting styles I expect Eddie to have trained catching kicks before as well.

I genuinely can't tell if you're making fun of the dumb shit Conor says or if you're being serious right now.

End of the first round of the first fight. He threw a very slow and imo sloppy kick and got taken down. Then Conor did a sweep on Nate.

Who said that?

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

Front kicks to the head.
