Conor's Chin is the biggest MYTH of all time. It can't handle punches from people his size

[Shoden]

First he got finished by pillow fist diaz...People blamed his cardio..(If Conor didn't panic wrestle he would've been KTFO)


2nd he got finished by pillow fist Mayweather....People blamed his cardio(if the ref didn't step in, he would've been KTFO)

3rd he got rocked/knockdown by pillow fist Khabib, a guy not known for knocking down fighters....People blamed the "takedown threat".


Now he gets finished by hard hitting Poirer....KTFO.


His chin simply isn't as good when facing guys his own size, which are Lightweights....His chin is great against 5'7 and under 145lbs manlets however.


There's a reason why the man chose to cut a crapton for the majority of his career...He was ducking guys his own size, because he knew his chin couldn't handle them and he wanted a size advantage as well against the manlets.

So can we just put a stop to one of the greatest myths in MMA history?

it didnt help he ducked in that hook from porier

 

[Reb]

Conor should go back to fw, start talkin trash again and beat the shit out of all the manlets. Its better for him, the sport and the fans.

 

[Two Guns]

Hes a bully, same reason he wants to fight 5'6" Pacquiao who walks round at 150 odd when Conor is 5'9" and walks round 170.

His record against people his own size just isnt that good.

 

[Tapatio]

it didnt help he ducked in that hook from porier

he tried to panic wrestle and got clipped...so hilarious!

 

[greenhawk]

It isnt a glass chin but it isnt even an iron one like Jones/Khabib. I would say its decent.

 

[Nickzor]

Yeh i don't think he has a Great Chin so to speak, i mean he was getting rocked by flimsy ass punches from Nate Diaz

 

[alex1751]

Manlets have no power.

Manlets have no power.

Not true , your dad had the power not to wipe you on a napkin

He knocked Dustin out already though

 

[alex1751]

Since when is 6'2 considered a manlet?

 

[I Always Fight]

No proof, just sherdog lies

 

[HHJ]

Well we do know that his power at 155 isnt be all end all. He nailed Porier and porier didnt fold

 

[Willek]

I didn't even know there was a "Conor has a great chin" narrative

 

[DrTrouble]

it didnt help he ducked in that hook from porier

Con landed a good shot at 2:51 in the 2nd rd. Then at 2:46, Dustin landed his patented right hook. It was that right hook that spelled the end for Con. Go watch it.

 

[MyFavSport]

It's not a glass "get clipped and get ko'd" type chin.

But whenever he has got hurt he gets stiff legged, doesn't recover well, and now he finally gets finished by strikes.

Isn't that why all fighters cut? Khabib barely makes the limit and won't move up.

 

[Optimus15]

People his size? Am i the only one who thought Dustin looked huge next to Conor?.

 

[HHJ]

People have his left scouted to take him down. Khabib and Porier drilled on dealing with it.

 

[dontlaugh]

It was exposed when Khabib clipped him. Diaz is pillowfisted. That's why he didn't KO him in the second fight.
