“Resetting” by turning your back and running away - Conor or Overeem, who did it better?

[Dozer .]

Was he trying to “reset” ala Gus and Conor?

Tito did it against Wand, Conor against Nate, and Gus against DC/Glover

Any others come to mind?

He was scared ?

 

[Duck Dodgers]

Well, look what happened when Stipe caught up to him.

 

[cakemuncher]

He was running away from boredom that was emanating from Stipe.

lmao you think what reem did is comparable to conor jogging back to the center for a second or 2 to reset/catch his breath then getting right back into the exchanges?

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Gus does that almost every fight too.

 

[Typrune Goatley]

Starnes was the most elusive

He did it for an entire 60 seconds in that fight.

Ppl have said Conor Ran he didn't run, some have said, it wasn't even 20seconds of running. Well I have always said those gifs sucked b/c I didn't make em, now I know they really sucked because not only did i find 20seconds of Conor Running, I found an entire minute.

What I consider Running? his eyes, if Conors eyes are not on Nate, then he is running away.

I am THE biggest conor hater on this site but I have to admit I have no problem whatsoever with "resetting" or whatever you fools call this. Doesn't bother me when Conor or any other fighter does it.

 

[mahavishnunj]

The only thing that looks worse is his goofy fucking flowy arms thing.

 

[Pacemaker Joe]

Conor, because he came away with a win.

[Nightwish]

Conor couldnt even run like Overeem cause he was gassed out since round 2...

 

[HHJ]

Conor did it out of desperation. I think it was part of Overeems strategy at first,to catch stipe coming in. He then got hit and looked super sloppy trying it after.

 

[Ingjr]

I say bring in the yellow cards and when they start running throw them a yellow card for timidity. Gus is one of my favorite fighters, or was until he started this shit. It looks terrible and says a lot about the fighter doing the running. He's either scared to engage, tired or just doesn't want to fight. Any of these should draw a yellow card.

Nobody out does Gus vs Glover they replayed that fight lastnight and after the second round I changed it. Maybe Kalib Starnes vs Nate Quarry but that was just Kalib not engaging at all but I don't remember any flatout running like Gus did.

I'm pleasantly surprised this hasn't turned into a Condit-Diaz thread

you're understating what Conor did and overstating what Reem did.
