Conor lost due to his poor gas tank....not b/c of his poor bjj.....not b/c of Nate Diaz either.

[flakxd]

It's crazy just how quickly he gassed.

Yes Nate caught him with a couple little jabs and 1-2 combos that touched him, but that shouldn't cause a champion to gas out in less than 2 rounds. Gaining a couple pounds shouldn't cause him to gas either.

Mark Hunt and Bigfoot Silva got hit with wayyy more solid shots and both went 5 strong rounds. Their punches take a helluva lot more energy to throw, and do wayyyy more damage than those Stockton Slaps.

The whole point of this thread is that a solid gas tank is kind of like a solid chin.....you either have it or you don't. Conor trains hard, and he still burned out completely in a little over 1 round.

Is this something he will ever be good at? Will he never be elite due to such poor cardio? Dude was landing at will and hurting Nate with whatever he wanted. Busted him up real good, and should've won in spectacular fashion. Then he just died.

No excuses about being a couple pounds heavier. No excuses about fighting a larger man. No excuses about throwing big shots himself early and often. No excuses about eating a handful of jabs. Dude gassed out completely in one round! That is a serious red flag going forward. The sloppy HWs don't even do that.

Cloner lost because:

1.) Chin didn't translate
2.) Power didn't translate
3.) Can't wrestle offensively
4.) Bought into his own hype
5.) Bad cardio
6.) Stockton slaps more than once
7.) He bought into his own hype
8.) He only has one style/approach
9.) Couldn't dictate range
10.) Nate's chin
11.) Nate's cardio
12.) Reality

Really like 6 and 12

 

[TrainAllDay]

Its simple.

Conor tried to 1 shot KO Nate with every punch he threw in the entire fight. Nate didn't get KO'd. Conor gassed. Nate took him to Stockton.

So you're saying, Conor would shadow box for 19 minutes, lay down and tap out?

 

[Gestas]

Conor lost because Nate is a better fighter. Conor gassed himself out trying to knock out Nate in the first round and once Nate got his timing he started beating his ass in the standup as well. Out of desperation, Conor tried to take Nate down and then he got submitted. It went exactly how I thought it would.

I'm saying his fight cardio/fight gas tank is shit. And I'm not sure if that is something one can really improve upon much. You either have it (Frankie Edgar) or you don't (Conor McGregor).

How do you know he gassed more than all his other fights?

 

[Project 86]

mcgregor must suck if a man not training for a fight and on 10 days notice has better cardio

Verbal fucking ether.



Man this is better than Ronda losing.

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

He threw about 4 wheel kicks. He told Conan O'Brien he would get him with that technique and wanted to be mystic Mac again.
And....he must have forgot he was fighting a badass cardio machine.

Ha,, haha. Just stop. He wanted to bulk up, he wanted to finally fight guys around his size, he chose to box hard with a boxer... Stop making fcking excuses, cause even he didnt. His fcking fans make me sick. Even more then rouseys did.

 

[honzo]

He was rocked, Nate punched his face, nothing to do with his cardio.

 

[DiazStocktonSlappedConor]

He had a full training camp....Nate didn't

Let it go mane

 

[KOREANZOMBIE420]

yeh he should have won but he got chocked out and lost. the logic.....

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

His cardio looked fine at the beginning of round 2 and up until he took the 1-2, got wobbled, then turned panic wrestler.

[Forever Young]

God you guys are pathetic lol. If he had been out in the middle of a camping trip or something, and they called HIM on short notice to take a fight, maybe that would make sense lmao.

But that's not what happened. Your boy was playing touch butt with dork and he got his shit pushed in by a better fighter.

 

[Rockapotomuss]

Dude trained too much strength and not enough cardio.

 

[zhb]

^^^^^^^^This is the answer^^^^^^! One trick pony, overhand left, left hook, or the left uppercut all the while allowing the bigger man throwing combinations to repeatedly punch him on the chin!!! I called Conor's fall while everyone else bought into his fictional greatness! It is really crazy how much of you bought into him being the greatest thing since sliced bread.
