McGregor’s bottom game

[Iroh]

I was sure this was gonna be about all the gay stuff that is coming out.

Such as? Everybody will try and say Diaz or Khabib as though he didn't escape submissions/positions right before those endings.

That's just getting outgrappled by the superior grappler.

He escaped Khabib's kimura before that by FOULING. He threw an illegal knee to the head. FFS
Does that count as bottom game?

 

[Dirty Frank]

I disagree with the notion he took a pounding from khabib. He really wasn’t damaged much in that fight at all. He covered up.

he just gassed and got dominated

For sure. He was trying to gas Khabib out using his face, as per the great Dom Cruz

 

[Dirty Frank]

Weird Conor admits it was illegal and was proud of it yet you decide other people can't make up their minds....

I've never seen anyone try to spead as much misinformation about Khabib as that markj dude

It's way better than tons of fighters who never get theirs mentioned. He's escaped submissions, crucifixes, mounts, and tons of bad places from great grapplers like Khabib, Mendes, Dustin, Diaz, etc., and everybody just pretends they never happened.

Skillwise he'd have gotten his black belt years ago if he was anybody else.

People hand out black belts like candy. Kinda embarrassing

Conor did escape the kimura. That's what happened. The illegal knee is completely irrelevant to that and occurred 30 seconds prior in a completely different sequence.

It's a complete fandom myth you guys just invented to try and excuse Khabib simply being unable to submit Conor, largely because he never even had the proper position to begin with as Conor was successfully and legally preventing him from stepping over his head like he needed to for an actual locked in kimura.

Rather than fault Khabib's poor positioning, you instead blame a knee that occurred before the submission ever even happened.

Those toes in the cage count as bottom game too?

Not horrible, but definitely not great. His approach is very, very defensive. Almost to the point where he stalls to be let up. If he won't risk opening his guard at times because he's too cautious, he'll throw away rounds.

He has no attacks from the bottom and just holds to survive

Even after knowingly getting caught lying about the knee and how it never caused him to escape Khabib's kimura, instead of admitting you lied and were wrong you just pivoted to another point entirely as though nothing happened. Nice dedication to the grift.

In reality though, that will never change that the kimura failed because Khabib made the amateur mistake of attempting a submission before he had the position to do so. A kimura works best when you can step over your opponent's head as that's where you'll have the best leverage to get the arm behind the head. Khabib couldn't do so... because Conor meanwhile made the correct move of using his right arm to prevent this. Yet Khabib tried anyways to crank the arm and so couldn't. get it back far enough for a tap.

Instead of admitting Khabib made a mistake and Conor made a good countermove move, you instead just lie about it and say an illegal knee from a completely different sequence 30 seconds earlier or toes in the fence stopped it as you don't actually give a shit, as does neither of any of your other haters who just want to collectively shill.

Position before submission. Conor understood that here while Khabib didn't and that's why the kimura failed.

He has good elbows when he uses them.

I love this back-and-forth sans the name-calling. Gotta respect that.

Anyway, are you not going to address them toes on the fence?
I'll look for the full footage on the kimura to see how that really played out.

Conor clearly hit Khabibs head with his knee , Khabib was very close to finish Conor with that Kimura , when Khabib was sure about the position he made a mistake and looked to Dana and said 'Hey Dana'' and he was trying to say some shit about Conor.
right at that point Conor hit him with the knee and Khabib lost the position.
but doesnt change the faqt that Khabib beat the shit out of Conor even Conor cheated that much

I thought this was gonna be related to him recently liking a gay porn post on Twitter recently.

 

[Swarthy]

His Grappling is pretty good defensively.
But haters will discredit it all day. Is what it is.

I can see that some mods can't handle simple jokes anymore. Full deletion mode activated.
Sad.

 

[TheHermit]

it's probably a coin toss between a glass surface and twitter.

But I wonder where he’s spending his time in preparation for his comeback.

 

[Tapioca Cold]

I bet you're 12. What other 'pressure heavy' wrestlers?

Touch-butt

 

[BJJ4Tone]

It's a fair question.

Most people thought he would get taken down with ease, controlled and whooped in minutes. When in fact it too a lot of effort to get him down, and took rounds instead of minutes to whoop him.

I saw a vid of Chael being hugely complimentary of his wrestling. IIRC his point was that out of 10 things, Chael did 9 things right and 1 thing poorly. For a non-wrestler, that's pretty extraordinary.

I didn't watch fighter analysis, but I believe there were quite a few other wrestlers expressing the same opinion, back in 18 or whenever it was.

Oh... Well, yes, I think Conor's wrestling was better than most expected. He did make it very difficult for Khabib to take him down. But we're talking about bottom game. Once he was down, he did nothing. I guess surviving a couple rounds could be considered a moral victory, but I didn't really see any bottom game skills being displayed, I guess. No sweeps, no submission attempts. Just a few illegal knees.

for every 5 reasonable posts there like 1 nuthuggery post that is making me ill, disgusting!
