Is Conor's power overrated , why couldn't he ko Nate and a journeyman did ?

[Marc A]

81% of mcgregors wins come by way of KO. And in his UFC career he is 9-1 with 7 of his 9 wins coming by way of KO within 2 rounds.

"Overrated power"

Check that record , only 5 had the lights turn off , ko

So that makes it 22%

 

[bigconan]

He has 24 fights of which he has 5 kos
Makes it 21% ko ratio
Doesn't seem like a ko artist that some claim

Conor has stopped, 22 out of his 24 wins....if you really want to bicker about silly differences between a tko and ko....that's retarded...they both go in the record book as a ko....You could look up george foreman, one of the biggest punchers of all time...and he only had a handful of one punch ko's...most big punchers need more than 1 punch...that's also true for tyson...

You're nitpicking my friend...a tko counts the same as a ko...both are stoppages...They both count the same...some people and their sumantics..i'll never understand..

 

[Drunken Blindness]

Conor gave Nate absolutely everything he had and barely squeezed out a decision.

Nate would win the 3rd match if McDucker wasn't running from the ufc

 

[Drenalin]

Is Rumbles power over rated?

Why couldn't he KO Cormier or Belfort?

 

[capnlarge]

22% seems pretty high OHKO ratio, especially for the lower weight classes.

Oh ok, so your not counting TKO's. So when conor mcgregor landed a clean left hand on Chad mendes which completely rattled his head dropping him to the floor, it wont count as knockout since it was a TKO.... It somehow shows that mcgregor has overratted power...

I guess Roy Nelson had overrated power since he technically only has 7 Ko's, the other 7 are just "TKO's". Only 7 Ko's out of 22 wins, thats only a 31% KO ratio.

Same for mark hunt, of his supposed 10 KO wins, 6 were actually TKO's so he only has 4 legitimate KO's, thats only a 30% Ko ratio.

JDS has only 5 KO's and 7 TKO's. Thats a 27% KO ratio...

Stipe has 8 TKO's but only 5 KO's, thats only a 29% KO ratio.

TKO's are essentially KO's. One fighter has hurt the other fighter and the hurt fighter is unable to defend himself, and if the referee didn't step in; he would eventually go unconscious. The ref just stops it since the damage is unnecessary if the fighter has shown he cant defend himself.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

because it was a full fucking shin to the head and MMAth is retarded.

and yes, conor's power does get overrated. it's his timing, accuracy, shot placement etc.

which makes him even more impressive.

 

[SuperNerd]

Why was he able to ko nate while Conor couldn't ? Seems weird

Only one conclusion, something is over rated of course.

 

[method115]

This has me perplexed
Fought Nate more rounds but was unable to ko him

Yet a journeyman stopped Nate

Because Connor can't hit harder then a man kicking you in the face with his shin. Twice or maybe three times.
