GSP is kyokushin not shotokan.are you guys turds or tards? by similar striking styles he means obvious karate base adaptation to one extent or another. Mcgregor obviously adopted a bit of a karate style stance training with gunnar
GSP - shotokan
Liddell - kempo
Wonder boy - kempo/fancy long pants
Cejudo - trained karate for mm fight
Machida - shotokan

This is such a terrible posts on every frontEven Alvarez, a guy who wrestled in high school, was able to clinch Conor against the cage after getting punched like ten times. If Khabib clinches Conor against the cage fight is over
Karate , which has been around for centuries is how "mcgregor style" .... JESUS CHRIST sherdog what happened .
IF, and thats a big IF, Khabib makes it to the fight and doesnt pull out due to some injury, people who are saying he is going to win will be saying after the fight that he was overrated or past his prime, stuff like that. Any excuse they can think of. Khabib is undefeated but half his wins dont even have wiki pages. People are going to be very upset after he loses. They are getting there hopes up, hes good but not some god his fans think.This is such a terrible posts on every front
Gsp never even wrestled in high school yet he's arguably the greatest MMA wrestler of all time
Alvarez is a tremendous MMA wrestler who had taken down every wrestler he had ever faced in MMA
It's funny how before the fight it was "Alvarez is the first well rounded high level wrestler Conor's size. And he will have a full camp. Conor is going to get exposed"
Yet suddenly after the fight
"Alvarez is just a high school wrestler"
Pathetic.
Happens before and after every Conor fight too.
I hope people like you don't start doing the same to Khabib. Simply give Conor HIS CREDIT for making it look easy against Khabib.
"But even Alvarez managed to clinch Conor" is quickly becoming one of the stupidest and most ridiculous talking points I've ever heard in my life
ITS A FIGHT....Even Rousey managed to clinch with Holm a few times....did it matter?
Khabib fans really don't understand MMA. To them Khabib is like this mythical god who only simply needs to touch his opponent and he wins
I love this misconception that Khabib just needs to clinch Conor to win
You people (including Khabib) are in for a very rude awakening
Conor has a lethal inside game too
How do you think he gassed Nate out in the rematch?
Assuming Khabib even has the chin to get past Conor's counters, as soon as he steps into close range, he has elbows and hellacious body punching waiting for him from Conor
Conor has a line of defense for every range
Footwork
Counters
Inside elbows/body punching
Getting past Conor's counters is only a fraction of the battle
Plus we have seen how strong Conor is in the clinch (brushed aside Alvarez like nothing in the clinch)

Yes.With the touch of death does Conor need TDD?
macg is underrated because his enigma gets in the way of his skill ppl forget hes got on the of the best records in the biz
macg will defend some takedowns mark my word
Doubt Khabib survives r1 if he doesn't get a takedown.but they have better gas tanks as well. Conor may defend all TD's in r1 and but we have 5 round fight there. Dude had his mouth open in round 2 in Eddie fight. He has good cardio for 5-8 minutes max

None of these guys fight like Mcgregor at all. Just because they use karate kicks they fight like Mcgregor? No. And Lidell, GSP, and Cejudo don't even do that. Stop trollingThese guys have some insane takedown defense and mcgregor may have it as well.
