DJ's suplex to armbar.
Hmmmm I wonder where he learned suplexes from?
DJ's suplex to armbar.
I don't think beating a (supposedly compromised in camp) non p4p elite fighter can be called the best performance ever. One of the most one sided 'elite' fights for sure, but I don't think Forrest measures up to some other opponents.
More impressive performances for me would include:
Conor vs Aldo
TJ vs Barao
Cain vs JDS
Fedor vs Nog
Include, but not limited to.No Cody vs Dom?
ExactlyIt was a great performance, but I would be far more impressed if he actually landed a counter punch during that sequence rather than dancing...
Wishful thinking....the truth is they aren't in the same class. Prime 23yr old rua was something to behold, but any version of rua in the UFC would have gotten embarrassed by Silva. Just like Chael, Hendo, and Forrest beat him....so would Anderson.Rua would thrash him I believe
No one is forgetting thatPeople forget Griffin was 1 fight removed from being LHW champion
UFC 104 Shogun outclasses any version of Anderson there has ever been.Wishful thinking....the truth is they aren't in the same class.

Yea, I’m not reading all that.Anderson continually dropping a Xanax Forrest who had been KOd the week before in sparring, WAS not in any way impressive in the least bit.
Plus Forrest was a hand picked LOW IQ brawler who was only there to make Anderson look good lol
We all saw what happened when Anderson started fighting actual disciplined fundamentally sound strikers in Weidman and Bisping. Anderson started getting outclassed then.
Aldo was an actual legit striker.
A fighter who was ranked #1 p4p.
A fighter who is literally a million times better then Forrest could ever dream of being.
A fighter who many believed on paper was actually a bad natch up for Conor
This isn't even in the same stratosphere of comparison
Conor then counter fucked Aldo from the inside angle in a blink of an eye.
You know what was some real matrix shit?
The way Conor precossed everything within nano seconds against an an elite striker and reacted even faster then that,
Made the adjustment in his footwork even quicker and lined up the counter kill shot from a 90 degree angle all before Aldo could even finish his punch
That was real boxing skill right there. That was real neo shit from the matrix
The difference between Anderson's performance vs Forrest - and Conor'ss performance vs Aldo, It was like dodging a broken down honda civic going 5 mph, compared to dodging a fucking Ferrari going 150mph while then being able to jump inside the open window of it going 150mph.
Again, no comparison what so ever
Anderson is like a house cat taking down rats. Conor is like a fucking TIGER taking down black bears and wilderbeasts
Maybe you guys just dont understand what you're watching, and that's why its so easy to go ga ga over Anderson (Instead of recognizing the truly special things Conor does). And I don't mean that in any negative way at all. A lot of people sinply just don't know. The point is to learn and correct ignorance. I myself was that ignorant at one point, and it wasnt until I took the time over years to truly understand fighting on a deep level that I finally started to appreciate the absolute mastery and genuis of Conor McGregor
If you have any questions, or would like any breakdowns etc, let me know.
Anyways, It doesn't matter how soon it happened, the fact is, the counter Conor hit on Aldo from the inside angle was a matrix performance...and it was against an actual legit opponent...to even do that in 13 seconds is unheard of and unique
I like how people in this thread are trying to act like it's a normal occurance to just counter-KO a p4p#1 ranked fighter in 13 seconds
Crazy right @Sapp ?
I hope everone else sees the absurdity of that talking point
Conor also MATRIX fucked Alavarez too so yeah......So you know that it's all about Conor actually being the real Neo from the Matrix who Matrix's everyone and anyone he comes into contact with no matter who they are
Where as Anderson only ever Matrix'd hand picked LOW IQ brawler Forrest...gee I wonder why lmao
This shouldnt even be up for debate
Most historians and analysts will disregard Anderson's win over Forrest
Meanwhile Conor's wins over Aldo and Alvarez will always be GOAT wins and matrix performances

Yep, Conor is a master of moving just a fraction out of range, which is why he is in position to land heavy counters more than anyone in MMA.Exactly
And I love Cody and do think very highly of Cody, but this is another reason why I laugh when someone says Cody has better boxing or defense then Conor
Conor makes you miss too, but he actually comes back with a counter when he makes you miss
And Conor doesnt need exaggerated movements to make you miss, he can make you miss just as bad while moving much less, like all the truly great counter punchers ala Lomachenko, Floyd etc (and again always comes back with the counter)
When it comes to "make miss and make pay" or "hit and do not get hit," no one in MMA exemplifies those sayings more than Conor
One of the biggest sayings in boxing is "if you over commit to defense you can't counter"
That's why Conor is such a devastating striker. Because Conor goes by the fundamental core truths and sayings of boxing
I'd probably take current Shogun over Anderson today too, Anderson is almost 45 years old. If you think UFC 104 shogun could have outclassed Prime Silva idk what to tell ya.UFC 104 Shogun outclasses any version of Anderson there has ever been.
Heck make the match up today right now, and current Shogun who's improved his boxing dramatically takes current Anderson to school
Conor had both over Holloway
I mean surely you can't be serious
Holloway beat Aldo only after Conor beat him first
Conor was the first one to ever beat Aldo in 10 years
It was Conor who ended Aldo's reign
Conor's win over Aldo Is the most significant win over Aldo period - and the most impressive performance against the best Aldo
People will bend over backwards to refuse giving Conor any credit. It's sad

Forrest is a good fighter, but I rate a win over forrest about a hundred times less than I rate that win over Aldo. A 13 second knockout of one of the true greatest fighters of all time, stopping his 10 year run is leagues better than a domination of Forrest. If we're talking humiliation, the Aldo one is almost worse, right?
I don't even like Conor or rate his legacy highly overall, but that win is in a different league IMO. As are all the others, coming over much better fighters than Griffin.
Seeing posts like this, waxing poetically, is cringe
Forrest took a Xanax for that fight
People aren't even allowed to legally drive while on Xanax
Forrest was as compromised a fighter as ever. It might as well have been a fixed fight
Plus Forrest was a gift hand picked match up to make Anderson look good (low IQ brawler)
Plus Forrest was KOd in sparring a week before the fight (per Joe Rogan)
Forrest was as compromised as possible
Anderson vs Forrest wasn't a legit fight in any sense of the word
Anderson vs Forrest wasn't impressive by any means
Here is what happened when Anders on tried that same "matrix shit" against am actual competent opponent who wasn't compromised
The only legit correct answers to this thread is Conor vs Aldo/Conor vs Alvarez...Garbrandt vs Cruz...Cerrone vs Story etc etc
Lol, you obviously have an agenda and if the xanex why didn't it show up in the post fight drug test? There was no indication anything was wrong with him and he looked like he always did right up until the moment he got dropped.
He was hand-picked though, you're right about that. He was hand picked to be a gritty huge tough guy with a lot of heart that would try to bully and force Anderson into a fight, which he attempted to do.
Rogan contradicts himself so often I can't take anything he says seriously.
He matrixed Lee Murray, Hendo, Rich, Cote, Leban, Vitor among others long before finally taking it to far against Chris but yeah you're right, Weidman was the first competent striker he faced, lol.
The same thing actually happened to RJJ, was he also just fighting incompetent strikers up until that point or did age and ego finally catch up too him and he took things 1 step to far and paid the price.
