Just rewatched Chad vs Conor

Conor does throw roundhouse kicks

Count how many he actually lands per fight. I think it's somewhere in the 0-4 range.

Here is Conor working his roundhouse on the bag. Yes, he's tired but look at that form.

When was that video taken? Before the Mendes fight?

Great grappling/wrestling isnt required to beat Conor. Nate showed that when he beat him on the feet. People actually think Conor is a top striker im fucking dying here, least efficient fighter alive. He fights like a bootleg Dillashaw.

Nate didn't beat him on the feet. Conor gassed himself and got hit with a one two and panicked. McGregor was cleanly beating Diaz for as long as the fight was standing, even when he was dead tired he still landed on Nate.

Short notice fight for Mendes. He didn't give up. He had nothing left, not to mention Conor was getting in hard shots to the body.

This. Conor was really taking his wind with those body kicks.

No, he got beaten on the feet. Nate had no camp, so he held back and did almost nothing in round 1. He still went strike for strike with Conor in this round and Conor landed only 3 more strikes on the feet, leg kicks.

In round 2 Conor had succes for a few minutes then got beaten the fuck up, he landed less strikes and got wobbled. He didn't gas himself out, Nates stiff jab and check hook landing while Conor was winding up on his horribly inefficient hollywood movement, is what gassed him.

Now that Nate no longer needs to hold back in round 1, Conor will break in 2½ minutes most likely.

Nate landed jabs, but he was still pushed back and ate the harder shots. And this against a head hunting, sloppy McGregor.
Also, what is this nonsense about Diaz holding back? This isn't anime, man. You don't 'hold back' when you're getting your face bashed in. That wouldn't make any sense, as Nate is an experienced fighter who should know the risks of 'holding back'. Also, it's incredibly patronizing to both fighters.

McGregor was clearly gassed by the end of the first. It's obvious when you take a look at how much he slowed that second round.

If we're going to make ridiculous predictions then I'm going with second round tko by hooks to the body, oblique kicks and roundhouse gut kicks.

Nate has said MULTIPLE times directly after the fight that he was holding back. You see, Nates experience is exactly why he was able to hold back in the first round. 10 days notice he was gonna gas if he stayed active in round 1, like Chad Mendes did. You're right its not anime its real life, step your strength & conditioning knowledge up kid.

In any case, that wasn't bagwork to be proud of

That was my point actually. Like anyone on the roster, Conor has a roundhouse ...but it isn't a great one.

All these fans thinking that he is just going to polish up that roundhouse and turn it into a major weapon vs Nate are delusional.
