Was Conor going for a TD, uppercut or a dip when he got dropped?

[johnmangala]

Some people saying it was a TD, some are saying it was a uppercut, others say it was a dip.

Imo I think he was going for an uppercut. The way he cocks his left is similar to how he was going for an uppercut against Nate when he got rocked. If it was an uppercut, seems like this is his weakness, he has an exaggerated tell for it and I think both Nate and Dustin read it.

What do you think, and why?

That was a takedown attempt for sure.
Panic wrestling 101 from the grandmaster.

 

[JoeRoganPenn]

Uppercut.. look at his left hand

 

[Viking Power]

He was trying to keep balance but didn’t. You guys think he was still with it at that point? Nope.

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

He was on a single leg...

 

[tramendous]

I thought he was trying to duck but seeing the gif i think it was an uppercut

Conor was clearly going for a takedown

Panic wrestling

 

[Tapatio]

Folkstyle Canrat went into panic wrestling mode.

 

[Death By Samson]

It looks to me like he was about to change levels for the TD. I don't understand why anyone is giving him shit about it. I don't even consider it panic wrestling. His leg was fucked. Going to the ground is the smart thing to do.

 

[King Joffery]

Yeah at first I thought it was a TD but looks like an uppercut, was going for quite a few, needs to cut that out, way too telegraphed.

 

[Azazyah]

The only thing he was going for, was to sleep.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Looks like all 3

Prob shooting and preparing the neck for a takin’

 

[ifindgifsforjackslack]

I thought it was a dip but from that angle it looks a lot More like an uppercut

 

[Carl25]

Dip, cause that's what he did 10-15 times in the fight

Upon rewatch, maybe an uppercut but still going with dip

 

[GranNaniwa]

Those of you who think it’s an uppercut must have thought he was going for some Bald Bull maneuvers.

 

[gaffbyknees2]

He was going for a shot of propah twelvee

Thats the point. Everyone panic wrestles when its needed. Conor himself is the one who made it out to be something to be ashamed of. He said he turns fighters in to panic wrestlers. Thats why its extra funny when he panic wrestles.

 

[Memeojima]

He was shooting the worst takedown right into a punch

Shooting for takedown 100%... To square hip wise for anything else

 

[NotDana]

He was dipping, he just dipped a couple shots before the same way and Dustin knew it was coming
