Its solid for a striker but as many have pointed out, there's not much to look at. Its just a couple of shots on badly rocked or unconscious opponents. I made a post on the last page breaking down the stats but looking purely in context, it's hard to really say much about it. He hits hard.He does bring up an interesting point tho - the haters always say Conor had no KO power and that his finishes were TKO's. And if that is true, then his g'n'p must be under rated. Come to think of it, there may be something to learn from Conor's shot selection in those times vs just windmilling and praying for the stoppage.
"Best" is clearly hyperbole and a classic McGregorism, but I did not even really think about it until he brought it up. He took that boxing 'timing beats power, precision beats speed' type shot selection approach and used it in his gnp.Its solid for a striker but as many have pointed out, there's not much to look at.

So I did some quick maths because why not. In his entire ufc career his ground strike stat is 77/113. Which puts his accuracy at 68%. Solid for a guy who doesn't fight on the ground but in context, it's almost exclusively just finishing shots on unconscious opponents. So let's compare that to a few other fighters.
Another guy who mostly strikes, Volk, managed 68/91 in his first 2 ufc fights. Giving him about 75% and nearly as many strikes in just a couple fights
In a single fight Frankie managed 69/96 giving him 72% and nearly the same amount Conor achieved in his whole ufc career.
In a single fight Khabib landed 88/120 giving him 73% and more strikes in a single fight than Conor has to date.
There are levels to this shit
Lol still trolling I see.Yea they have to throw more shots to put their opponents out. Conors shots are so strong and Powaful he needs to throw less.
You are right there is levels and Conor stands atop the heap like a God among men.

Conor hurts people on the feet. He's never put someone out with ground and pounds without dropping them first. The opposite is not true for the others
