Hafthor Bjornsson - ‘I could’ve crushed McGregor in sparring session’

DM1982 said:
Hafthor like all true alpha males naturally can fight, are extremely aggressive and competitive. Coupled with the fact I'm guessing from what I've seen Hafthor, like most men, are fans of combat sport and has watched plenty of fights - so it's a case of monkey-see-monkey-do; I'm pretty sure Thor can put some rudimentary techniques into practice even w/out training.

Some of you guys are fucking retarded. Connor dances around jabbing for 3 minutes, big guy gasses, fights over.

Mighty Mouse would also win.
 
So maybe Honda vs Cain could have been competitive after all..

If Mighty Mouse could beat The Mountain then could Caudia Gadelha? Yes, she is female but her and Mighty Mouse are much closer in terms of size and strength then either of them are to The Mountain. Plus she's a BJJ black belt and if skills and technique are all that matters then why not? How far do you guys think this goes lol?

Crazy how size and power can overcome skill in some cases

Bob Sapp would easily beat Thor but Conor? No way.
 
There was a snooker world champion called Steve Davis who once played a match against a young child (Matthew Stevens) who had won a competition to play against him for charity.

Steve Davis went all out and smashed the kid without mercy. The kid didn't get one chance to get on the table.

That's why Steve Davis isn't giving interviews saying he held back and went easy after video of him losing goes viral.

You never hold back, never play fight, and never show mercy when there's cameras around.
 
There are some people here talking like hafthor can shoot laser beams through his eyes or something.

Never thought I'd hear Steve Davis on sherdog. Thanks bro.
 
Skill only takes you so far. Conor would get fucking stomped by The Mountain just like any other 5'7 midget on the UFC roster.

I think it's appropriate to again stress that Thor is a true Alpha male - Conor is NOT an alpha male by the truest definition. Modern society helps a manlet like Conor ascend to 'alpha male' status, through celebrity, money and having the UFC as a platform, but he is still a 5"8-9 sub 200 pound beta male in comparison to Thor.

People are questioning Thor's ability to make use of his ridiculous physical advantages - here comes the bro science - Hafthor like all true alpha males naturally can fight, are extremely aggressive and competitive. Coupled with the fact I'm guessing from what I've seen Hafthor, like most men, are fans of combat sport and has watched plenty of fights - so it's a case of monkey-see-monkey-do; I'm pretty sure Thor can put some rudimentary techniques into practice even w/out training.

If you put Hafthor in a real fight with a beta male like Conor and Thor went beast mode, Conor would be in serious danger of legitimate injury.

This fight should NOT take place for health reasons

You can quit with the silly alpha/beta fantasy, the issue is more simply one of a massive size/power difference. In a kickboxing match I think theres a sound argument Conor's ability would trump Thor's size and lack of technique, however in a MMA fight Thor has the option of taking him down and attacking with GnP whilst Conor has been shown not to be a very strong grappler.

If you were talking someone like say Tony Fergerson things would be rather different, I mean the size difference would definitely still mean Thor was a threat but Thor would not be able to take the fight to a situation where he was not facing elite skill.

I think the answer is a lot more in the middle than most of you people are saying.

If Conor can tire him out for about a minute before he gets close, he would be so gassed that his power would be basically useless.

I wrestled for a couple years and so did my buddy, I've got about 60 lbs on him and I'm only about 18% bodyfat. I'm a lot taller than him mostly.

If we wrestle for more than one round he destroys me. Strength doesn't translate when you're exhausted against a more trained person . And the training gap between me and my friend is a lot smaller than Conor and the mountain.

So 60 seconds of walking after Conor would render the Mountain completely helpless? Are you serious?
 
This is the "depends on the right circumstance" for Conor. He's not going to run and jab the guy to death. That's just funny. I would give Royce Gracie more of a chance than Conor.

I didn't realize it was even a question. Conor was hitting him with body shots, then eventually the mountain would walk him down and grab him but then he would let him go. In a real fight that's the part where instead of letting him go he...you know, does what ever giant monsters do when they get a hold of people.

Zangief Piledriver comes to mind
 
Sir Gregor Clegane smashes Conor with ease, the undead don’t feel pain, thus he wouldn’t gas and is trained in real battle. But Halthor might have some obstacles with cardio if he isn’t able to rip Macs arms off early on and beat him with his bloody limbs, me thinks the fight is a toss up 50/50, kinda like when he fought Floyd...lol
 
Damnn over 25 pages for just this video? Americans are truly obsessed with size like no other, it is beyond me
