First off, I apologize for ANOTHER McGregor thread, move along if you dont care for it.

But yes or no, and why? Just really interested in both sides of the argument here.
 
His ground game is non-existent and his kicks always miss, and on the odd occasion that they do make contact no damage is made.
 
No, needs better ground skills, his striking is good though
 
Compared to the average person or single discipline martial artist, yes he is because he's trained for a long time in multiple arts ie. striking, wrestling and BJJ.

Compared to other high level MMA fighters, clearly no since his grappling is way behind his striking to the point of being a liability lol.
 
There is not much to Conor except a left hand that he over relies on
 
aye becuz hes known for his clench game submissions and takedowns as well as his kickboxing i mean wtf come on man hes got decent boxing skills thats it
 
No he's shown to be an effective striker with little grappling ability from his back.
 
NO its pretty obvious he has a shit ground game.
 
Yeah he's complete, a complete imbecile on the ground
 
I think so.

He leans heavily on the power in his left hand, and grappling clearly isn't his strength, but I don't think he's as bad at wrestling and BJJ as people are saying.

He can't grapple with the best of them but that isn't his game, and his defense isn't terrible. I think he has top tier striking and mid to low tier grappling, not sure if you'd consider that complete.

Compared to GSP, Anderson, Jones and Fedor, he absolutely is not as complete a mixed martial artist, if that's the standard.
 
Yes. If he doesn't gas himself out he's as complete as RockholdRockhold
 
He seems to not be very versed in skills, but surprisingly he's made it as far as he has in MMA. He's definitely done something right.
 
I've seen turtles better off their back.

As the TS I didnt want to show my cards out the gate, but this is in line with how I feel about it.
 
He's a good boxer and panic wrestler

Doesn't make you a complete martial artist

Sucked the right dicks so he doesn't have to face dangerous opponents.
