Picture the mendes and pettis strategies. Except easier tds and easier to work on the ground against a smaller inferior fighter. Eddie by 3rd round tko via gnp.
 
Conor is harder to take down than Pettis. Pettis was trapped against the cage. We've never seen Conor trapped like that. Conor controls the distance better than the majority of MMA fighters. That isn't how he got taken down against Mendes.

And Alvarez could barely take Pettis down anyway. When he did, Anthony got right back up. Pettis deserved to win that fight. I don't think Pettis is significantly bigger than Conor, if at all.

Mendes is also more proven as an MMA takedown artist with top control and gnp. Alvarez is more likely to stand. Conor by HCO in round 1.

Don't forget his cardio, who looked terrible in those fights, way more than Conor did last time. But that was because Conor was looking for the finish the entire fight.

Yea terrible. He gassed in the 2nd round and got choked out by an 11 day notice replacement. Oh wait, that wasnt eddie.

Conor would break against the cage. He was getting ragdolled by manlet mendes who was on 2 weeks notice, looking to the ref for stand ups. Pettis and melendes have way better ground games than conor. Wayyyy better.

@Jin Akutsu and you were saying I had an uneducated opinion...

Point? Doesnt change what happened in the first fight. Everyone was suspicious of conors ground game and diaz proved why. Dont think others wont expose it too, especially those with better wrestling than nate. That constitutes more than half the lw division.

Was Conor's ground game exposed ?
 
People are still in disbelief about eddies skills. The guy has always been a top tier fighter. Get use to it.

Wait, nvm, you're the guy who's already ran from me numerous times.

You're an angry Conor McGregor hater. You know I never root for fighters to lose? I have the fighters I like and thus root for to win, and then there's fighters I'm neutral towards. I don't root for any fighters to lose. Who do you think has the problem here?
