Meisha thinks mcgregor is a puzzle.....and beats Tony

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Not much of a puzzle...

You have to deny him a left hand and optimally find an entry for some TD during 8 minutes while he's still fresh, agile and has good footwork.

The hard part is pulling that out when punches are flying.

Best strategy is stay at kicking range early on while Conor is still guaging distance(he tends to perfer throwing teeps to guage distance rather than jabs since it makes people want to rush in to close distance.). Let him throw, try to catch a kick, make the TD threat real. Best case scenario you take him down. Worst case it buys you time to set something up.

And of course MAKE HIM WORK! Keep him moving and make him throw. If you have to take a punch or two thats fine. He won't put you out in one shot unless you charge him.

The only puzzle about Conor is whether he wins a fight in the first two rounds via the left hand or if he gasses.

He's a mediocre grappler, wrestler and kicker and a very good boxer.

Tony, DJ, Jones, those guys are a puzzle, they can win a fight in multiple ways. Conor has none of that.

I will say i was blown away with how little Conor uses kicks.
On Conan i remember him talking about and showing off all the fancy spinning kicks talking about how he'd KO Nate with it, then after the second fight he couldn't walk because of how many lowkicks he..... Threw.

He's got killer hands, but you're right. Mediocre at best everywhere else, it all comes down to if he can goad his opponent into standing.

gotta love these random fat sherdoggers with zero martial arts experience giving their couch analysis

gotta love these random fat sherdoggers with zero martial arts experience giving their couch analysis

1) 8 years of martial arts experience. 7% body fat.

2) Catching kicks gave Mendes and Diaz some success in their fights. And it damn sure beats blocking punches with your face like everyone else does.

3) This is a forum about discussing events, match ups, possible strategies, skill sets, rankings, ect. of WEC, Pride, and UFC fighters. If you don't want to hear people's opinions of what would help against a fighter then shut up and leave. Dozens of people are on here are doing the exact same thing. You're the only dumbass bitching about it.

Conor is the absolute opposite of a puzzle, he is very predictable. He just stands there and waits and then throws a left

 

[KillingJoke]

If anything, the opposite it true.

Like Lee said before the fight, getting sparring partners to emulate Cucuy is hard, because he does so much weird, unorthodox shit in the cage.

Conor has big hands, good movement, and that's about it. He gets it done the same way every time.

With Ferguson, you just don't wtf he's going to do in any given fight.

I know what happens every time he fights, he gets hit. A lot.

It’s a typo ...what she meant to say was “ FUCKING is 90% mental and 10% physical .”

 

[ReadWrite]

Such a complicated puzzle, a 40-year-old retired boxer with no MMA experience could figure him out.

1. Watch his gas tank fail.
2. Punch him in the face.

Goddamn she's hot...

Spoiler

...for a WMMA fighter of course but still
