DJ wasn't doing too hot on the feet so he changed gears and out grappled Elliot too many fighters are lost when it doesn't go there way and dont know how to adapt

a couple examples

holly holm was out-struck by shevchenko for 5 rounds and she was lost on how to change gears because all she knows is kickboxing

conor was gassed,got pieced up and rocked by diaz and he didn't know what else to do since all he excels at is boxing

carla esparza's wrestling wasn't working on joanna and she is not a good striker so she was lost and eventually got KO'd

ever top p4p fighter has this anderson silva has it,gsp has it,jon jones has it,so does cruz and DJ
 
Yep sound to elite skills in all aspects of MMA let's a fighter overcome advertisity with ease and not choke and tap.
 
That is where James Toney failed.
You can't rely only on a side check kick
 
Not everyone can be the best at every fighting aspect like Michael Bisping

All he did was take him down and did no damage. Most of the 125ers can do that!
 
Newsflash: It's good to be well rounded
 
Lmfao, it's as if you think a fighter being well rounded is as simple as them deciding one day, 'okay, I'm gonna be well rounded now.'
 
Conor ruined his knee and then dominated Holloway, repeatedly took him down and even mounted him (something Lamas or any of these other "high level" wrestlers couldn't do). That Conor, the one that outgrappled grappling specialists Hill & Buchinger too, is the same Conor we see now but one that got lost after he blew the F up and became a fortune teller first and fighter second. The Diaz fight is a piss poor example because:

1. Diaz has some of the best BJJ in the UFC (almost like saying Shields has no ground because he got tapped by Palhares) and still got swept and controlled in the first round
2. It was a cardio issue more than anything, which only appeared in that one fight, when he jumped two weight classes in three month.

But I will give you, Conor's ground game is much better on top than on the bottom. However, we have not gotten to see his updated off his back game since working with Dillon. I don't think it will be as meat and potatoes as it was before.

And the funniest part is, if Elliot managed to get that choke in the first, what would everyone be saying about MM's ''well roundedness''?
 
I'm sure he was super motivated for this fight.
<mma3>

What about Holly or Carla? You only white knight Conor?
