Why did Connor fight like it was a boxing match ?

[flowoftruth]

Really looked like the worst version of himself last night..

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Because he only knows how to box.

Conor could have a Table Tennis match he’ll always fold and quit when he’s under pressure.

 

[accolyte1022]

He's just getting ready to humiliate Paquiao.

 

[BoTyson]

Erm... with a karate stance throwing left straights the whole fight? wtf where you watching? he looked more like Machida than anything i have ever seen in a boxing fight.

 

[beephin]

Conor looked so different out there last night.
It was weird as hell to see his stance in the cage like that.

Props to Dustin and his coaches.
Amazing game plan.

If Conor loses his next fight he should retire. Beat Nate next and Dana will let him fight Dustin even if Diamond has the belt. Conors career is at a crossroads on how he'll be remembered. MMAs biggest star ever but never the best fighter. That 7 fights in 18mo could be stopped short if it starts 0-2

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

He's always fought that way but occasionally adding in a pointless spinning kick and an effective front kick ot the body. But he has always been a wide stance counter puncher .

He’s got bigger balls than most people tho for the matchups he takes he puts on a show

 

[TheWave111]

Conor doesn't move anymore
He always used to move like wonderboy in and out on his feet. He is now a stationary and flat footed and a target for calf kicks.

 

[Lots]

Because his greatest strength of delusional self confidence is now ruining his whole career.

 

[NotDana]

He was trying to get him out of there early

Yeah saying that about a 2 weight champion is ridiculous.

Khabib retired when pressure got on him with all the new contenders

Who the fook kicks in a fight... I am still the best boxer in MMA. - Conor Mcgregor

 

[Luckyme]

Not true, he had a lot more kicks in his arsenal back in the day. After the Floyd fight and move up to LW, he decided to box more. Can argue it was working pretty well in round 1 until Dustin tore up his leg.

Conors style of fighting and stance is much different then his earlier days. No bounce to his step, no footwork, hes sitting on all his shots and his karate bladed Stance is almost completely gone at this point.

It's because he doesn't have the cardio to keep up that fighting style, the added muscle & weight doesn't help also.

Over/under on how many more days this account survives?
