Conor is a weak grappler and has mediocre kicking game yet he believed to be unbeatable at LW ??

[Flashguard]

Has no submission wins

Has mediocre kicks never finishes anyone with kicks he is no shogun or cro cop or Anderson silva

You don’t have to finish people with kicks to have good kicks. He utilises body kicks more than anything to tire his opponents.

What are Conor huggers smoking?

Khabib would destroy Conor and I can think of a few others who could hold him down and beat him up.

Khabib may well do that, who are the others?

 

[fedoriswar37]

I can't remember who said it, but some pro fighter/coach once said that one of the reasons Conor has such success in the striking is because he always keeps his eye on his target, even when he's getting hit. He always knows where he's supposed to be hitting.

Oh yeah. I remember Mendes landing some shots on conor standing but he just kept walking him down eyes on the prize

 

[Sherdog'sOfficialBlackMan]

Where did the myth that Mcgregor has a weak kicking game come from?

 

[whougonnacall]

And he was dominated on the ground by Mendes. It’s clear Conor’s ground game isn’t very good.

So ur basing this theory on an injured conor vs arguabale that divisions best wrestler ,one who made lay and pray his bread and butter......ok

 

[giusti825]

He's been unbeatable in MMA for over 400 days as LW champion.

If he doesn't take a fight, he is technically unbeatable, whether or not he is champion.

Oh my god dude just stop trying to make your hero a good grappler lol

 

[NotoriousMillions]

Nate Diaz fought at LW for almost his entire career, get out of here with your one or two weight class bigger nonsense.

Lmao, it's a fucking fact. Deal with it.

Matt Hughes, couture, lesnar, sherk, Alvarez, all had a great kicks too.

Oh and the flying omoplatas. Can't forget those.

 

[Paynebringer]

Conor gets owned by most lw's he's a puncher/counter puncher and not much more beyond that. He's not a mystery or puzzle to solve he's not a real 5rd fighter, not a long term champ and he knows that heavy is the crown.

 

[Cat Biscuits]

Same shit with Rousey.

If Conor actually fought people he didnt match up against favorably, he'd be just another contender.

 

[robbie]

Lmao, it's a fucking fact. Deal with it.

Put down the meth pipe...

 

[dragovic]

0 wins by kicks
1 submission

Lol

Yes I seen most his fights. Maybe



I am not wrong 0 wins by kicks
1 submission win against a nobody
And easy to takedown

How am I wrong?

What the fuck are you even trying to say?

 

[dragovic]

A lot of fighters at 155 give him problems, probably why he won't fight any of them.

Noooope. It's about the money of course. Why fight one of these guys just to prove people a point for less money than he's worth? The guy just boxed May and banked $80m.
Conor is a businessman who knows his worth, and UFC fans have to get used to this. It's been this way in boxing for ages and now there's actually a smart prize fighter at the top in MMA. I dont for one second think that Conor has any doubts wether he would win or not against the top guys at 155. To be where he's at you need that self belief.

 

[datsyuk]

Conor has excellent td-defense, and he would touch Khabib with teh jab, then proceed to knock him out with his right hand. Not the left, that would be too easy.

excellent TDD? Against who? Anyone who isn't a wrestler? Mini Mendes took him down at will. Imagine what Khabib would do to him.

The only "wrestler" he stymied was Alvarez, but that was because Eddie was too busy trying to stand and bang with him rather than fight smart.

 

[SherdogJoe]

Wow it's almost as if there's more to MMA than just kicking and grappling.

 

[whougonnacall]

Oh my god dude just stop trying to make your hero a good grappler lol

Omg dude ur just trying to make it seem like your not trolling or dumb

 

[whougonnacall]

excellent TDD? Against who? Anyone who isn't a wrestler? Mini roided Mendes took him down when he was injured like 50% of the time .Imagine what Khabib would do to him.

The only "wrestler" he stymied was Alvarez, but that was because Eddie was too busy trying to win with takedowns and atandup like in an mma fight

fixed it for u

 

[JudoBitch]

If Diaz can embarass you... Lmao

Watch the first fight, he was by no means "embarassed". He gassed and got fucked.

His teeps are, really, really good. They won him the Mendes fight and kept Eddie from getting takedowns. And his spinning shit may not land clean but they aren't really meant to, they stop his opponents from circling to the right; away from his power hand. His leg kicks on Diaz played a huge factor. As for his ground game it isn't terrible he is not too bad defensively, easily rolling out of a guillotine, x-gaurd sweeping Diaz one of the best sub specialists in the UFC, he has a solid top position as seen when he drops people and gets mount easily. He stopped Eddie's take down attempts and shrugged him off. He has no sub victories because he has 19 fucking tko's, he has zero need to sub people when he can snipe their jaw. He has only been taken down 4 or 5 times in his UFC career and the one Diaz takedown in the second fight did nothing, he has a 75% take down defense rate. Is he invincible? No, he has dodgy cardio and survivable ground skills. But is there anyone other than Tony or Khabib that can beat him at 155? No, I can't see Diaz beating McGregor ever again.
