What's sad is that there are so many unhinged McGregor marks on this forum that you actually thought that was a serious post.

LoL @ Conor subbing anyone.
Conor punches and does nothing else.
Why am I tagged in this?
Wait, when did Conor clear out the Lightweight divison? last I checked he just beat Eddie Alvarez to get the belt, I like Conor's chances at 155, but let's not say stuff that isn't true, once he beats Tony, than you can say he ran through the Lightweight division.
The reason he was able to get takedowns so easily was because of how dominant he was on the feet. If, in a rematch, it turns out he no longer has such an edge on the feet, then he probably won't be able to get takedowns either. Not to mention the fact that Holloway's TDD and grappling itself will have improved anyway.
I really think Holloway poses similar problems to Diaz, but to a lesser extent. He isn't as tall or rangey, and isn't the same submission threat. Conor would definitely beat Max up early, but if he couldn't finish him, he'd slow, Max would start to pour it on, and Conor would have to dig deep like he did vs Diaz.
But like I said, he isn't as tough a fight as Diaz. Conor would be able to rely on his reach like he couldn't against Diaz, and wouldn't have to worry as much about takedowns or subs. I'm 85% sure Conor wins a rematch.
Who said anything about Max? You did! You said Conor will molest Max in a rematch bc he improved so much. But you're too stupid to realize that Max has also improved, probably way more than your BF has.Who said anything about Max? The point of that comment was about Conor's improvement in grappling, not Max.
Conor rocked and dropped Nate with ease. Max was treated like a prison bitch in his fight against Conor. Max had his chance to do alright, and he was dominated.
Do you train? That's what training is for, improving skills. Every fighter gets better because they train. Conor's grappling has obviously gotten better since then.
Yeah and Matt Hughes submitted GSP in their first fight. Then proceeded to get utterly dominated in their next two. Fighters get better and gain confidence.More like Conor has proven he's a better grappler than Max and people are in denial about this.
Of ducking, yes.Conor is the OFFICIAL GOAT.
Conor destroyed his ACL mid fight. He didn't get the finish because of that injury.Spin/hype it however you want... Conor couldn't finish a one-legged teenager coming off a loss... They basically had to reattach Max's foot after the fight, everyone knows this...
What? Max out grappled Lamas who is a BJJ black belt and Cub who is a black belt in BJJ and Judo. Did the same thing to Stephens.
Max's ground game is astronomically better than it was 4 years ago. He could get TKO'd but he is not getting subbed.
What about being inactive partying and training for a boxing fight makes you think his ground game will be any betterHe wasn't, but even so, Conor has gotten better than ever. His boxing is even better and presumably, so is his grappling.
Have you not watched their fight? Conor easily controlled Max on the ground and pounded him out.COnor submitting anyone???
