What makes you think Usman beats Conor?

[Sherwolf]

And let's not state the obvious. He's going to wrassle him and submit him. But in reality, if this fight were to stand for a couple of rounds a least, there's a very good chance that Conor catches sloppy Usman on the feet. Let's not forgot that Colby was winning their stand up fight, or at least even on the cards, until the 5th round. Usman looked mediocre at best on the feet against a subpar striker in Colby. True that he might play it safe and take Conor down from the opening minute but I haven't seen anyone do that yet and all his fights have stayed on the feet for a high percentage of the time. Usman is slow and stiff on the feet too. I'm not going as far as saying that Conor would win that fight, but I am saying that he's got more of a chance to TKO/KO Usman than people think. Discuss.

Well, The fight will most likely not be a standup fight after a minute or two and definitely not a couple of rounds.

 

[beephin]

IF this fight would be on the feet for a couple of rounds?

Bad troll attempt.

 

[HNIC215]

Don’t kid yourself... Conor would get destroyed.

Heavyweight is a game of inches...

Conor’s left couldn’t take Khabib out.

Usman would eat those lefts like Rice Krispie treats...

 

[Rum]

I've watched both of them fight

 

[Crom Cruach]

So, let me get this straight.
If Kamaru Usman didn't use the skills that he has been training for decades and he took a strategy that that played into Conor McGregors strengths as a fighter. Then he would lose.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Watch Mendes McGregor round 1

 

[Simple Southerner]

What makes anyone think Conor beats usman ??!

 

[Okajima]

Conor’s lack of a gas tank.

 

[aerius]

And under the right circumstances Ronda beats Cain.
Seriously, why the fuck are we even discussing this shit?

 

[BullSlav]

Have you ever watched a fight before?

 

[El Fernas]

Is Usman sloppy on his feet? even Khabib who isnt a striker was able to stand his ground with Conor, even dropping him once, im not dismissing Conor on this fight, but its not like Usman will try to stand and trade only cause Conor is a little smaller than him.

 

[suffersystem]

True that he might play it safe and take Conor down from the opening minute but I haven't seen anyone do that yet and all his fights have stayed on the feet for a high percentage of the time.

Uh, didn't Khabib do that exact thing, as well as Mendes?

 

[El General]

Love how all these noobs have never watched Usman. He stands and bangs for 1 fight against another elite wrestler and suddenly he will do that with everyone. No. He dominates take downs and clinches. Let’s see Conor eat those standing body shots in the clinch Woodley was eating. Conor would gas twice as quick as normal.

 

[MakeSherdogGreatAgain]

More importantly, who cares? I don't wanna see Snoozeman fight anybody.

 

[Kryptt]

There is little doubt that he would pressure and punish Conor imo. Not saying that Conor couldn't catch him properly but his style is Conor's bane in so many ways.

Would still watch with...

 

[Murder_KickHC]

Nobody thinks he can after seeing what he did to Cowboy Cerrone at UFC 246

 

[Seismic]

Because Snoozeman will break his word and abandon his tough guy talk of standing with Conor. No way will he risk the humiliation of getting KTFO by a featherweight.

 

[Londonjitsu]

Well he's never lost in the ufc.

He's one fight from equaling GSP win record in that division.

His two biggest strengths are Conors biggest weaknesses.

He's the biggest guy in a division Conor would have to move up in.

Conor lost to nate a ww who got demolished by actual ww there.

Anymore? Or do you need more? Nuthugger

 

[BullSlav]

Conor fans are so uneducated about MMA.
