Do Conor fans still consider Cerrone a quitter?

Tapping =/= quiting.
Going turtle position does.

Lol, good ol Jag.

It was when Conor turned over flat on his front and exposed his neck that he quit. He quit to two punches on the ground from Nate Diaz. Watch the clip and you can see his hands sliding to his shorts, because if Nate didnt take the choke Conor was about to offer his ass rather than get struck by the skinnyfat cholo again.

"Here's me balloon-knot, you know what to do, Nate."

So does turning into a panic wrestler after you've talked shit about how everyone else turns into a panic wrestler. But, yanno, the av.

I'm a Conor fan but I'm not Conor. So no I never thought Cerrone was a quitter. He does choke during important fights however.

Does he choke? Or is he just not good enough to win those fights.
 
Mr. Hammer said:
Really? Because it's seemed pretty mild imo. Pretty much it's only the haters being vocal and obnoxious which was the same story before the fight.

Damn man I feel like it's been the opposite, it seems like everytime I come to these forums there's like 4 or 5 threads on the first page about how Conor is still the goat, nate only won Bc he was bigger or Conor was dominating up until he gassed (not even giving diaz credit for ripping him up with knees/body punches and then rocking him)
 
Mr. Hammer said:
So much dumb. He was rocked, why else would a striker who has never shot for a takedown suddenly shoot for a takedown? Also why did I have to explain that?

Because they all turn into panic wrestlers once they feel the power.

How is tapping out to a choke you know you won't get out of considered quitting?

Conor at least beat Nate's ass for 7 minutes before losing, which is more than Cerrone could do to either RDA or Diaz.

he got stopped in the 2nd round. you dont get to say he beat nate's ass. conor did not do well at all.
 
I think he can take a pretty damn good asswhooping and hang in there. Body shots make everyone shut down.

However, he even admitted he has a hard time getting his head right in some fights, and especially big fights. He underperforms in big fights (I don't want to say chokes, but...)
 
I want to see a grappling match between nate and cerrone. That would be fun. Cerrone and Nate both would school conor on the ground though.
 
Conor did the smart thing! He wanted to stay away from those head shots so he can fight again soon!
He knew he can't finish Nate, so might as well conserve some headshot for future title shots

The right shot can rock anyone, & he got rocked by a straight left. I think as you watch more combat sports you'll learn this yourself.
