I think Diego Brandao is a legitimate to Conor McGregor.

[The Taxman]

He does in the first 7.5 minutes, but that's it imo. Especially considering this fight is 5 rounds

 

[TheProphetAxel]

Don't care.

This thread is now about the bravery of this hero

I agree Diego has a better chance than people are giving him. As long as he doesn't fight like a madman(not in the good sense) as he did against Poirier. It's just weird to refer to him as a "threat" to Conor McGregor, that kind of tone is usually reserved for champions and the like.

Spoiler

exactly

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

I hope so

 

[Lito Lapida]

Diego by KO

If Diego hits any 145er with one of his bombs they are going out. But that is all I give him; a punchers chance.

 

[DizzyYeahYeah]

Didn't Conor fight at 170?

Brandao is getting KO.

 

[Sakurabas Ear]

I would agree but Diego's wild, charging, Wanderlei-esque attack plays right into Connor's counter striking abilities. This could be over very quickly if he leaves himself open.

I think Diego Brandao is a legitimate [threat] to Conor McGregor.

Diego Brandao:

• Non top-10 fighter (X)
• Coming off of a KO loss (X)

Yep, he's definitely a threat to McMuffin - I mean McGreHype. :icon_lol:

 

[Alexandergreat3]

PS: McGreHype seems like the Irish version of Michael Bisping that the UFC has used for its UK fanbase.

 

[lowsingle]

brandao has the potential to ko or sub anyone in the division, but if he doesnt do it straight out of the gate, hes dead in the water

i dont think he can finish mcgregor and is going to get boxed up after 3 minutes of hell

also, i think his win over bermudez is misleading, it was a hailmary sub in a fight that he was clearly losing. im not saying it was a fluke or lucky etc. but bermudez is a MUCH better fighter than he was at the time, and even if they rematched immediately, most would pick bermudez as the favorite

 

[MilesAbove]

I thought Zuluhino had something to offer Fedor.

 

[Unbreakabull]

it is possible he lands a punch of some kind and conor falls back at a weird angle and is dazed and theres an early stoppage. i could see it

 

[Zap]

Brandaos scrappy fer sure but I think Co or will out angle and counter the shit out of him.

 

[Videodrome]

Diego has flash KO power but if Conor's standup lives up to the hype, I can't see Diego catching him. Diego could barely land a clean hit on Poirier.

 

[Babalinho]

Brawldao definitely is a threat, but this is Conor's fight to lose. He'll just weather the storm and go for the finish in the later rounds. And so the hype trains rolls on...
