Could RDA eat Conor's shots like Nate did?

[Qwerty1]

I said before the fight that Nate does not get hit clean very often, tonight he got tagged but took his shots. Not everyone can attack nor have the chin Diaz has. Still think Conor could have KOed RDA tonight...Conor has ridiculous power. RDA lunges in more than Diaz as well. Not saying Conor would have won just curious to see who else would have ate some of those shots? Coming from a Diaz fan Conor is extremely fast and sharp on the feet.

 

[MarleyLynx]

Nope. He also wouldn't make Conor miss like nate.

 

[Theproof]

Doesn't matter. It's obvious even more than ever that Conor has absolutely nothing on the ground and will wear out quickly. The guy is a striking with shit ground skills. Period. Overrated and exposted.

 

[Bob Gray]

Hard to say. The Diaz bros are both known for being able to eat shots. I thought MacGregor was tagging him but pretty well but I didn't really think any of them were the kind of kill shots like he landed on Aldo.

Overall I doubt that RDA would plan to eat so many punches, though.

What we know now,RDA would have pushed Conor's shit in.

The kill shot on Aldo was because Aldo lunged in, Nate doesnt lunge in to often.

Also to the poster above you, cant really base his ground skill off being rocked, he was dead tired and completely rocked. He defended the guillotine and ended up on bottom looking for a way out. I feel like RDA would have to find a way to get it to the ground but could see him getting koed on his way.

Could Conor survive RDA's ground game...?

 

[Andrusz]

I think so, styles make fights and I don't think RDA is nearly as durable as Diaz is.

Far more offensive....Conor seems like a puss now.

If RDA could get it to the ground. It took Nate rocking Conor for it to go to the ground. If Conor gasses and shoots in on RDA then yes he is fucked.

 

[Apollo33]

Don't know if RDA would stand there and let Connor fire away at him though

you would probably throw a whole shit load of leg kicks and then clinch

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

would conor be able to survive the body and leg kicks, g-n-p, heavy controlling top game.

Hell RDA took a flush kick from pettis to the head and kept coming forward.

 

[Wander777]

Definitely.

McGregor got put on queer street by Diaz who is not known for power, RDA will murder him.

Conor can take a shot tho....RDA has his blitz. I think Conor would fair better against a blitz then a volume puncher like Diaz. It wasnt one shot that took out Conor. Conor believed in his power to much and learned a lesson. He cant load up on every shot. He gassed and was overwhelmed by Diaz volume and got tagged a lot.

 

[Andrusz]

RDA would be too aggressive, would get countered. RDA's best shot is to drag him down and grapple him, which seems far more likely given the Diaz result. Regardless I'm take Conor with the KO in that one.

 

[silicavaginitis]

Diaz slapped that bitch into quitting......Edgar will kill Conor.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Who cares...

Cloner is going back to 145 to fight self proclaimed midgets and manlets.

It wasn't one shot...it's just Conor is overrated.

Definitely this, Conor is most dangerous against the highly aggressive, blitz fighters.

 

[HHJ]

I dont think so,and maybe Conor woulda have put together an uninterrupted beatdown early in the first...but he cant go that far,if thats the only way he can win. Hed just be a more flashy Manhoef at 155.
