Conor McGregor’s Non-Existent Obsession with Jiu-Jitsu

Whoa now Joe you can't go being unbiased...


Bro Brogan with the Bro Brogan experience.
 
There's no glamour with BJJ.

Playing touch butt with Ido plays towards his whole movement schtick and casuals eat that shit up.
 
Shocker, all this account does is spam amateurish articles from the same site.
 
Conor is good at 145 because his size/strength advantage allows him to find a way back to his feet. At 170 Conor gets choked like a gazelle in the grasp of a giant anaconda.

Conor needs to defend or vacate.

I don't know. Conor is never going to beat elite BJJ guys at their own game. He needs to be good enough to defend, of course, but Nate's BJJ skill wasn't why Conor lost the fight. I'd rather have him focus on boxing and kickboxing so he can stand with Nate for the duration of the fight without having to whirl around like a dervish (he can do that some of the time, but the key would be besting Nate at basic stand up striking too).
 
When did Nate Diaz become a world class black belt?
 
It's as simple as not belonging to the weight class you lost at. McGregor can handle grapplers & wrestlers at 145 (He can beat Frankie too). But he's on thin ice at 155 & 170. I can pick a few fighters he can beat at 155 & 170 and are mostly bottom top 10 & below. He ain't beating top 5 fighters there.

Anyone that is above average in any discipline is either a world class "insert martial art" or an elite lever "insert martial art" if you have never heard Joe Rogan.
 
What's the truth about McGregor's BJJ? How did Diaz put him away?


Monday Morning Analyst: Nate Diaz Submits Conor McGregor at UFC 196

 
Aye Joe.

AT LEAST CONOR DIDN'T TRAIN MARTIAL ARTS HIS WHOLE LIFE JUST TO NOT ACTUALLY HAVE A CRACK AT IT.

I agree. I think Edgar beats him but like you said it's a winnable contest. Against guys at 170 I don't believe Conor could beat anybody ranked 1-10, maybe even top 15.

I can't understand the whole Ronda Rousey thing though. I think he owes every fighter in the UFC and the fans a public apology for all the hype he gave her.

I get what you're saying, but the whole Ronda schtick was so hyperbolic I couldn't take it seriously. Nothing more than a verbal fellating of the UFC's biggest draw at that time.

Of all the criticisms of Rogan this is probably the most accurate. It gets really hilarious when his hyperbole puts him in awkward positions like:

"Nate Diaz is a mother fucker man. ELITE world class BJJ"

Then he has to talk about someone like Maia after

"Maia is world class times infinity man. Like world class on steroids. If world class was a child, Demian Maia would be its father...on steroids"

If he had to talk about active BJJ champs, by comparison, he'd probably just stare at the camera and drool because he's out of descriptive words for them.
