In those two years he cracked Aldo in a fight which was way too short for anyone to judge. He got choked the fk out by Diaz barely winning the rematch. Lost to Floyd in a boxing match.He is definitely better than 'before' ie before the mendes fight which is clearly eviden in fights after. You dont lose skills in 2 years, in which he competed in that 2 years at the highest level.
So you taking a loss doenst mean youre better than before? How did RDA become champ after being tossed around by khabib?"He is definitely better than 'before' ie before the mendes fight which is clearly eviden in fights after.

If getting choked out by a journeyman is getting better than before, then I don't know what to tell you, kid.So you taking a loss doenst mean youre better than before? How did RDA become champ after being tossed around by khabib?
Is a title challenger a journeyman? Or is michael johnson a journeyman? You know, the guy that knocked out Poirier has now come leaps and bounds since. I will counter you with facts all night kid.If getting choked out by a journeyman is getting better than before, then I don't know what to tell you, kid.
Conor threw more kicks than ever in this fight. Many spinning moves. He did not look like he was bothered with stability at all. Also he fought again a few months later.Two reasons.
1) McGregor tore his ACL a couple weeks before the fight. For all you tubby lards, this is as serious knee injury as it gets, you lose all stability on that knee. Generally takes 12 months of proper rehab and training and it never really is the same. This is a significant factor in why mendes could take conor down.
you really went from getting over being a conor fan to your old self in no time didnt you buds?Two reasons.

2) This one is very important. McGregors game has changed quite a bit since that fight, he is nowhere near the same fighter and has completely refined his game (cheers diaz).
Output has decreased quite a bit, no more balls to the wall with a variety of strikes, he picks shots and uses the same ones over and over and throws a spin kick sparingly. Conors abiltiy to adapt to his strengths has been remarkable and his TDD has improved by a mile as proven in the alvarez fight (Inb4 retard haters bring up Diaz fight while not realising conors style has also changed afterthe diaz fights, now adding COMBOS to his crisp punches as well).
Conor is going to crack khabib with his superior striking and its gonna get nasty early. Khabib may survive but given how rudimentary his standup is khabib will likely panic and shoot from the hip.
TLDR
Healthy, refined game conor is nowhere near the same fighter as he was against Mendes and drawing conclusions from that fight is STUPID
If you cant see the improvements he has made you are blind.In those two years he cracked Aldo in a fight which was way too short for anyone to judge. He got choked the fk out by Diaz barely winning the rematch. Lost to Floyd in a boxing match.
So the only thing you are basing yourself on to say he's improved is his 1 fight against Alvarez?
Okay..
Didnt like his off field antics. The fighte r however is great.you really went from getting over being a conor fan to your old self in no time didnt you buds?
full camp mendes would have caved conors face in with elbows via gnp.
"Smash" lmao. Guy is a definition of boring decision machine who looks helpless on feet. Conor picks him apart and knocks him out cold.
lmao.Didnt like his off field antics. The fighte r however is great.
Full camp mendes back then may have had a chance... but now? Taken out in 3 minutes or less.
Might have taken injections. I have torn mine fully twice right knee two knee recons.Conor says he fought with an 80% torn ACL. There is no way in hell he would have been cleared by docs to fight if that was the case. I have torn my ACL 80% (skiing)and could barely walk or bend my leg. I know I am not a pro fighter, but if you tore your ACL 80% his knee would have been swollen from the fluid build up and he would not be able to even bend it much, let alone fighting in an MMA fight against a grappler the level of Mendes. He looked to be moving around just fine in the fight. But what do I know.

The whole mendes would beat conor is purely hypothetical. We simply dont know and can only speculate, however we do know that conor tkod him in the second.lmao.
fren. i like you, but i dont like who you become when conor is mentioned..
seriously, even 3 weeks mendes would dispatch conor on the ground caving his face in with elbows. conor had to beg to the ref for some bullshit reason to get stood up. if that stand up didnt happen, chad was bout to tko him.
i think conor said to the ref 'look buds, my face is pretty sore from this brutal gnp, can you stand us up please?'
