I don't see how Frankie can win

[madi]

First of all I'll be rooting for Frankie if the fight with Conor happens. But I have to admit that I don't see how he can win this one.
He will be outsized and with a huge reach disadvantage.
Sure he can put Conor down, but I don't see he doing much on the ground.

With a bigger guy usually is very hard to get submissions chokes without being rear-naked chokes. Same with arm locks. And I don't think he have the strength to do much on the ground and pound or on the feet.

I think this fight will be very similar with the Chad fight.

I hope Frankie prove me wrong.

Chad gave him a fight. Frankie can do it.

I remember when I couldn't see how Frankie could beat BJ.
I also thought there was no way he'd beat Mendes; I really thought it would be impossible for him to knock Chad out in R1.

 

[StopDucking]

Frankie beat Chad faster than Conor did.

Frankie was the LW champion. Conor just got fucked up by a top 10 LW.

Cmon man. Root for conor all you want but how can you not see how he can win? ahaha

Conor is gonna have to cut weight and there is no way he will NOT GAS within 2 rounds. If Frankie survives in round 1, he's got this in the bag.

Different times. Frankie wouldn't do well at LW now. There's a reason he dropped down to a weight class better suited for him.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

It aint gonna be easy ... Frankie has shown he can rake a punch and keep going, he will have to rely on movement, quick takedowns and tiring conor out with top pressure .. Frankie has fought bigger guys practically his whole career ... It poses an issue, but not an insurmountable one

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Conor would sleep Edgar in less than 2 rounds.

I'm expecting Conor vs Aldo 2

 

[lfd0311]

Frankie can win by taking him down. It's funny how quickly sherdog has turned on Conor after one loss, as predicted....

The reason is he got robbed in a title fight he should have won.

Frankie can take big shots, see maynard III for proofs
He will slice through Conor's non-existent guard as he did to BJ and pummel the irishman and get at TKO or sub him in brutal neck cranking fashion.

Frankie was champ at 155.
he was able to take down Maynard/Benson even tho they were way bigger and better wrestler than Conor.
Frankie gas tank never failed him. + speed & movement make him tough to hit.
Frankie win easy.

 

[spmn1017]

really? you don't see how a guy who fought and was the champ at 155 can win? you must be new to the sport, but you never ever count out frankie. dude has got a chin and cardio for days, something that conor apparently doesn't have.

 

[goodone2]

Frankie beat Chad faster than Conor did.

He was damaged goods after losing to Conor

Against someone who is no longer in the UFC.

He beat BJ Penn and Gray Maynard. C'mon, son. Frankie is a FW. He isn't doing anything at LW now.

 

[Cynfocus]

TS forgets Frankie was 155 champ, Conor couldn't beat at top 10 155'er.

Frankie will mix things up with such high proficiency that it will be another clinic. Then you'll be posting about how "Conor has lost it and frankie fought a deflated Mcgriddle" When the whole time this would have happened.
