some may say this is one of Conors glaring weaknesses is a high level wrestler. My question to you is can he stop the takedown from a high level wrestler?

dont think soCan you stop making threads?
A whole DAY? Not a chance. What else is there to talk about?Can Sherdog go without Conor threads for a day????
Based on the little evidence we have? No.
Mendes took the McGregor fight on short notice and didn't look anywhere near his best (although Conor's brutal body shots played a massive part in that) even still Mendes was able to get Conor down on the regular.
Conor's takedown defence did look much improved Vs Nate but Nate has never been known as a good takedown guy. I have no doubt Edgar (even Aldo) would seriously trouble McGregor's wrestling game.
He got like 3 of 7 or something and Conor got up every time but once.
McGregor's knee wasn't 100% for that fight tho and honestly, he didn't look great for that fight. His movement was pretty rough and his guard looked like shit.
He's looked better in each fight since, so I feel it's safe to attribute it largely to the knee.
Not even a mid level wrestler. Diaz at times almost had the takedown secured. I think guys like Duffy, MJ Ferguson and even the guys outside the top 10 can get him on the mat.This is indeed a great question. Some people say Conor's biggest weakness is his lack of elite TDD. So the question is: does he possess the movement and TDD to neutralize a high level wrestler?
