Conor needs less of those flashy kicks

[Macalpinerules]

I know people have been laughing at Conor's efficiency excuses but ive actually been saying similar things about him for a long time. He needs to stop throwing all of those flashy high energy kicks. Since his time in the UFC he's probably thrown more than a 100 spinning back kicks, wheel kicks, and roundhouse kicks combined but you could probably count on one hand how many have landed. His accuracy with flashy kicks is abysmal.

He needs less spinning shit and more leg kicks. If he had done more of this he would have chopped down nate like RDA and Benson did. But Conor just has to show you how he's a master of human movement even if it causes him to gas and get slapped into becoming one of those panic wrestlers he so dearly hates..

He threw 5 of them in Nates fight, 0 in Aldo, 1 in Chad (spinning heel kick or whip kick doesn't count), 2 in Siver, 0 in Dustin, 0 in Brendao, 1 in Max, 0 in Marcus

So you have a total of 9.... It's definitely not 100 as you claimed! The spinning roundhouse is inefficient, but his spinning kicks to the body is good

McNugget will never have leg kicks like RDA or Benson. Like I have always said he is just wanting to look flashy and be arrogant.

 

[Sonny Qc]

The spinning heel kick he threw was only to force nate to go back to circle to is right (Circle to Conor big left hand) That kick serve no other purpose tbh.

He was trying to get a highlight ko against Nate. Didn't workout very well....

 

[IMSAYIN]

They are being inefficient with his energy.

 

[BONES]

Sure, but there are few better sights than a spinning back kick being thrown by Conor McGregor

 

[Ro-Def]

McGoofy has a UFC record. I believe he is the only one so far to have a Loss in his curriculum before even defend his title. Dana Waste & McGoofy plans were down to the drain; McGoofy was so arrogant in the conferences b4 fights, but now his tone is sounding like a Whining.

Last Friday and prior their was not a thread in sight criticizing Conor for shit and now it everywhere and all these people knew all along I mean how can somebody make that claim? It's sickening

 

[trayrodriguez]

He uses it to set up other things.

 

[Lanx]

his spin shit is shit

actually all his kicks are shit, he's bizarro wonderboy

 

[Smithers]

They're okay against smaller dudes but against bigger dudes who can take a step back and evade they're simply for show.

 

[Toco]

his kicks are garbage

 

[HereticBD]

Yeah, the high spin kicks are useless against elites. Out of all the UFC fights I've seen, it's landed flush maybe three or four times.

Now, a spinning body kick can be pretty effective.

His spinning wheel kicks are usually utilized for orthodox fighters to keep em inside, so it's useful. Throwing it against a taller southpaw in Nate definitely made me scratch my head though, and he even realized that afterwards. Still, with the right tweaking I rather like his spinning shit.
