Fighttips discussing why Conor loss

[Ar145984]

Cliffs:

Conor McGregor's weight jump really affected his cardio. It's likely that Conor's emphasis on trying to put on weight made him avoid his normal cardio training, and his dietry habits didn't support the best cardio source.

Believes Conor got gassed which led to his head movement to slow down, leading him to get rocked.

Nate Diaz's jab and right hook, range control and precision was on point.

Believes Conor passed the line of confidence to cocky with his weight jump

 

[Bend NvR Break]

He lost because he's not that great. He's good but he's a one trick pony and that trick only works on smaller guys.

Dustin - won that fight with a TKO. Legit win.

Siver - beat up an out of prime fighter.

Mendes - was losing bad until Mendes gassed.

Also - literally ran chin first into McGregor's fist.

Diaz - completely outclassed by an out of shape fighter.

How is Aldo running chin first into Conor's fist Conor's fault in any way? Why didn't Aldo run into the fist of the fighters he fought in the last 10 years?

"Believes Conor passed the line of confidence to cocky with his weight jump"

No shit?

"It doesn't matter what weight division or what belt is on the line because really I should create my own belt," McGregor suggested at Wednesday's wild UFC 196 press conference. "I myself am my own belt. It doesn't matter if it's featherweight, lightweight, welterweight. It's the McGregor belt. So that's it. I'm fighting for my own belt."

"I'm going to create my own division," McGregor continued. "Who cares about weight? They all, they sign and they pull. It's happened time and time again in my weight class. I don't care about weight. It makes no difference to me. Wherever it's at, give me an opponent, and a date, and that's it."

Why do you pick one out of the five things I said and focus on it? I never said it was Conor's fault. I never even tried to discredit his win. But how the hell else can you explain that fight?

"Aldo goes rushing in. Now Aldo's asleep."

Nate was losing bad until Conor gassed.

So you can add it like this.

Diaz - completely outclassed by an out of shape fighter.

Completely outclassed would involve every second of the fight being Nate's. The truth is Conor won round 1 and was winning round 2 until the 1 - 2 Diaz hit him with that wobbled him. And before that he was clearly gassing.

It's good to see that despite every attempt to re-write the truth as though Nate/Conor was Ronda/Holly, that outside of the batshit crazy world that is sherdog forums, some people can see what actually happened.

Because you're trying to argue he's not that great, and then you're trying to discount the Aldo win by saying Aldo only lost because he ran head first into Conor. But Aldo has fought many people, so suddenly because Conor beats him you can argue he's still not great. It makes no sense. The Aldo win was legit, as were all his wins, and his losses

 

[Sakuraba808]

Conor reminds me of Roberto Duran, everyone at Lightweight and Welterweight said he hits like a train. He then moved up to Middleweight and had to rely on being a boxer and not rely on his power and pressure style anymore.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

So you can add it like this.

That's makes it even worse. The fighter with no training camp who was chilling on a beach (Nate's own words) lasted longer than a guy that been basically training non stop for about a year. That's not a good look. Makes him look a lot worse actually.

Once again I never said it wasn't legit. If anything I'm saying a rematch goes completely different. And you don't become great because you beat one great fighter. You beat multiple great fighters. As of today, Conor has only beaten one guy that be considered great and he's been ducking the other one.

And Aldo only lost because he rushed in. How many other fights have you watched Aldo in. He opens up with leg kicks.

Aldo has done the feint right to left hook many many times. He didn't use the leg kick because Conor's foot positioning would enable him to easily check them initially and counter with a straight. Aldo never starts off with leg kicks so I'm starting to wonder if you actually watch him fight, he hides his leg kicks and puts them inside his combinations or when the timing is correct. If you're going to say someone is not great, then list their major fights and an excuse right next to them, own up to your reasons. Beating Aldo is a big deal, with hindsight everyone is pretending its not. Beating Max is a big deal. Beating Dustin was a big deal. Beating Mendes was big too. These are good FWs, the only FWs remaining really are Frankie, Lamas, and a short few others who have been performing average.

If someone came and beat Jon Jones or Demetrious Johnson, they would be a big deal.

You just explained the Mendes fight that Conor nuthuggers try to recreate everyday.

Yeah right, like Nate had fought on LHW.

 

[Rubberchin]

The one that Conor was winning when it was on the feet and Mendes was winning when he was holding Conor on the ground?

I don't know what you're saying. Aldo is great. And Aldo ran head first into Conor. Conor isn't great. Good not great.

That was the game plan. Getting KO'ed instantly and then ask for a rematch eyeing UFC 200 card.

 

[Sakuraba808]

I don't know what you're saying. Aldo is great. And Aldo ran head first into Conor. Conor isn't great. Good not great.

What? How did he run head first into the fight. He reached and got slept noob learn fighting.
