All his opponents better spend their entire camps training cardiopulmonary endurance and takedown attempts, or else they will get KO'd left right and center.
The average MMA fighter has very little clue of boxing, the ultimate striking martial art, that is why they get caught by slow and looping punches.
Now, Conor has spent a whole year training boxing. So, not only has he improved on his amateur boxing foundation, but also on his cardiopulmonary endurance.
His next mma opponents will have no choice but to fight him like Demian Maia fought Woodley, or they will be put to sleep.
If other camps are smart, they will.
Already i think theyre stupid.
Instead of leg kicking Conor, Aldo rushes in like an idiot.
When conor panic wrestled, diaz choked him out.
Diaz virtually stood with conor and lost the rematch via decision.
Eddie, the idiot, again, stood with conor and when he was already dazed, tried to take conor down and failed. Got TKOd.
Chad mendes had conor begging the ref,while getting elbowed in the face, to allow them to stand.
There is a clear and definitive weakness in conors game, but everyone wants to stand...they dont even set up the takedown and when they do, theyre either tired or their bell has already been rung.
The bottom like is they have a shit ton of pride and feel they have something to prove.
The UFC knows that if diaz truly trained and focused on takedowns, as in working with collegiate wrestlers to augment that skill, that conors days are pretty much over.
The blueprint is there, but no one is following.
The thing is, conor is absolutely no joke when it comes to stand up in his hands. It is what it is.
So they need to stop getting knocked out and take him down.
