He threw 33 in one fight, don't let numbers lie to you.
You subtract 33 from 77 and you get a completely different kick per minute average.
My point is, he is extremely one dimensional and I cannot stand anyone who tries to disprove that notion. One thing we cannot argue, is that the one dimension he is good at seems to be winning him fights.
I think his opponents and his schedule throughout his MMA career has not been all that difficult stylistically. He's been a huge Featherweight with punching power, fighting strikers who are not as good as him - the one time he faced a wrestler in Mendes, he looked terrible. Yes, we all know he won, but anyone who is a fan of the sport knows that Mendes is almost 2 weight divisions smaller in terms of height and reach and had 2 weeks to prepare lol. If Mendes dropped a little mass he'd easily make 135 with that frame - whilst Conor is a normal sized Lightweight.
If you watch closely, those spinning kicks and teep kicks do very very little. These guys are tough fucking fighters, 2-3 small kicks to the body are not proving to be match-altering in any way. Not like you see guys crumpling at the accuracy of his kicks.
Never seen the guy KO or even hurt someone with a right-hand, and his choice of shot with the left seems to be glued to a straight shot, doesn't throw effective uppercuts or hooks very often.
He's the most one dimensional fighter of his level, I think I've ever seen. It's the equivalent to Ryan Hall, who in my opinion isn't a BJJ wizard, but a leg-lock wizard, it's the same for Conor, not a wizard of striking, just a wizard with the left-hand.
Can't people just accept it?
