Media Conor McGregor hitting an arm bar from full guard

New Black Belt McGregor, hitting an arm bar.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

That's not an armbar from guard but he is a black belt so yes he can grapple

 

[Tronald Dump]

Not sure he deserves the black belt, but he has certainly improved over time. Still not A or S tier though, or even close to it.

Fine, he sweeped to mount first.

He's a better grappler than he gets credit for. He's probably a legit blackbelt, but not all blackbelts are the same. Ed O'Niel and Mikey Musumeci may both be black belts, but they're not exactly peers.

He's bald now

And hair transplants doesn't work so it's time to shave

facts! when Conor struggles against grapplers its because of his gas tank not the lack of skills.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

He even takes a grappling partner on the boat with him. He is dedicated.

 

[kekiss]

improving overall skillset is nice, however i am pretty sure Conor won’t be fighting any grapplers at all judging by latest callouts

Black belt LMAO

He's practicing moves on the barista from the Starbucks down the street from his gym who pays $39/month for a gym membership.

I wonder how much bonus his yes man gets for allowing him subs?

Jokes aside, I said it when I watched him fight Khabib years ago - Khabib had a lot more trouble on the ground with Conor than I'd ever have suspected and more trouble than a lot of other guys gave him as well. Conor actually got up from under him at least once, if I recall correctly.

So maybe yes men is really the way forward!

Ah, I got my answer. Discounted gym membership. Nice!

They will work once he’s off the juice. All that DHT makes hairplants fail

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Imagine a calf slicer with that titanium shin?!
The king won’t be tapping to submissions anymore, now that he learned how to turn his pain into a pea and throw it. Conor 3.0 will be winning more fights with his new found submission attributes. The king is coming.

 

[NoSmilez]

I don't care about this grappling exchange. His hair loss is more important.

 

[Banana Tree's Nemesis]

Who the fuck is that other guy anyways...
He got shoulder crunch swept to the wrong side ffs.

 

[kalabula]

That armbar at was pretty slick actually. Props.

That's a different kind of grappling.
But ever since Obama that stuff is pretty popular.

He looked really good , the armbar from mount was very nice , I’m surprised how many people are surprised that he’s a black belt , he’s been a pro fighters for 15 years probably rolling more days than not

 

[laleggenda27]

Anybody who's been a professional fighter for more than a decade should be a black belt (or close to it) in all major disciplines, so I have no doubt he's a legit black belt. But whether you're actually able to implement those techniques against other trained fighters is another story altogether. There are many levels to being a "black belt."
