Honestly all that shit looks like it works miracles when a guy like Conor is winning, but Nate exposed him I think. His movement went to shit after a guy could eat a few of his shots and keep coming forward. His ground game still doesn't exist

Nate was also right he has no training partners. I think it is time to stop playing touch butt with Ido Portal and sparring with Artem and join a real camp. Nobody else is overly successful coming out of that gym...Conor is a real talent I would like to see him surround himself with better people and less nonsense
 
Conor was never known for his defensive stand-up. I still think Conor doing the movnat thing probably got people to think outside the box a bit. I don't know about ending it, maybe modifying it like anything else put through trial and error. It's always good to try something new, although you're putting yourself at risk if you're using a professional match to test it out.
 
I always thought his striking all that other crap was overrated

I've only watched a couple of his fights. What wins him in the fight is the ability to break down his opponent before they even get into the octagon, so he can't be that humble now, if he stops the trash talking it might not go his way

But Edgar isn't a nice match up for him so he better respect him
