Hilarious how some people use the Mendes fight as the deciding factor for Khabib

Mendez is the size of my 8 year old nephew and he took Conor down, GTFO with the excuses.
 
He whooped Mendes ass. That was not Anderson/Sonnen 1. It didn’t last 2 rounds..
 
I thought this was going to be a thread saying how Khabib is a much bigger and better grappler than Mendes so it shouldn't be compared

Instead it's a McNuthugger thread

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.

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

I think Conors grappling is very underrated. He was able to do some sneaky stuff against Diaz. THat being said Khabib is a different beast.

Where's proof of this knee injury?

TLDR You’re another delusional Conor nut hugger
 
Conor has shown that he doesn't have KO power at LW. Yes he hits hard enough to stun people but he can't wipe them out. Khabib has never been rocked let alone dropped.

Conor has shown a tendency to quit whenever he faces adversity. As soon as he get's taken down it will be maximum 90 seconds before he taps from strikes/submission.

Did conors game change after the first diaz fight or not?

His "efficiency" changed and it allowed him to squeak by a career journeyman. Khalabib is a very different fighter than Nate and he's no journeyman

Fact is Jon Jones can say he had a cold leading up to some random fight with no actual proof and carrying a tissue and 30 sites will pick it up confirming he was dying of pneumonia before he fought. Just shows the naivety of people. What he said and what we saw don't add up, any real athlete who's torn their MCL or ACL can tell you he didn't tear shit we only got his word which, sorry to break it to you, isn't worth a fart in the wind. He's a known liar and made a fortune from self embellishment.

Ok so it has changed, thanks. You agree with the premise of the thread.

Oh we’re going by the first Diaz fight? To answer your question his game PLAN changed. There were no radical changes in his game. He didn’t wanna gas again so he threw less. And threw more kicks like everyone assumed he would the first fight. Great job refining your game Conor.
