McGregor’s bottom game

[mahavishnunj]

Robbie v Rory was the fight before!

Oh shit, well that certainly makes sense.

 

[markg171]

His grappling was better against Khabib than Mendes. Chad was taking him down at Will until he gassed.

That's because Conor never cared about Mendes' grappling. When you attempt a flying knee against a grappler as your very first strike it's pretty clear you don't give a shit if he's going to take you down. Which Chad did off of it.

More importantly though, you had to say "at will" because that implies he wasn't able to keep him down. Which he couldn't. Conor escaped back to his feet every time except 1 where the round ended instead.

vs Mendes, he was not doing good, and only got a reversal off his back because Mendes went for a stupid sub attempt with no control.

This isn't true. Mendes attempted the guillotine AFTER Conor had already escaped out from under him.

It was a reasonable option once Conor had escaped to the headlock position as it gave him a chance to keep it on the ground where he could either hopefully submit Conor or reverse him so he was back on top. Either of which were better than Conor simply getting back to his feet from the headlock position they were in.

Mendes was gassed and not fully prepared for the fight. No what i'd call impressive vs a short notice opponent.

No idea why people try and say this when Conor had prepared for Aldo, who's completely different than Mendes, and had an injured knee on top of that. Let alone that Chad was his worst possible style matchup.

Of course it's impressive.

People hand out black belts like candy. Kinda embarrassing

Hence the disconnect with you thinking it's so unreasonable that Conor is a black belt under most systems.

So you think he was correct to attempt a kimura without even having the proper position and leverage for one? That's your assertion of doing things correctly?

I mean, okay. It's not like we literally have the fact that the attempt failed as proof this was wrong.

Despite this all you just refuse to admit it was wrong. Your dedication to nuthugging Khabib's balls is truly impressive.

He is hardly the one nutthugging

You are in this thread like every conor thread typing bullshit essays to defend his honour

If you aren't the man himself,or a family member? You need to get a grip

You are taking being a fan WAY too seriously

 

[Roop Holstry]

Stellar counteranalysis for arguing why Khabib's actually not a poor grappler for attempting submission before position while correctly being blocked by Conor from having either.

You're ready for ADCC mate. I believe in you.

It’s not a counter analysis you strange man

Bullshit essays? It's a pretty simple question of whether or not Khabib was even doing the kimura correctly against Conor by not steping over to generate leverage, because he couldn't as Conor was blocking him with his right arm, which you all keep getting butthurt over when it's pointed out that he wasn't.

And you're going to look real fucking stupid in a second when I show you Khabib literally doing that step over correctly instead against Johnson and unsurprisingly getting the kimura sub:



As well as here against Said and once again getting the kimura sub when done properly:



Conor successfully blocked Khabib from doing the kimura properly by blocking him from advancing with his right arm, and Khabib tried it anyways. So it failed.

That's okay. Breath in, breath out. You'll be okay.

You just proved his point there champ. Seriously, read this thread and ask yourself if you’re ok.

Wrong buckoo.

I wrote an essay literally proving how you're all wrong, using examples from your own fighter. Not a bullshit essay like he said. Bullshit would require me to be wrong and I'm not.

The bullshit part is you guys who can't even admit when you're wrong and have zero idea what you're talking about yet bull ahead anyways as the alternative would be to credit Conor for literally anything good, even if it means directly contradicting Khabib to do so.

That's messed up man.

The funny part to top it off is him telling others to take a breath & that they'll be okay. It's like he's literally incapable of seeing the irony staring at him dead in the eyes.

Nah, the funny part is how you guys can't even argue the point because it's wrong so just always move on.

It's okay to be wrong man. It happens to everybody.

Like Khabib was when he tried a kimura without the proper position for one against Conor.

 

[Furious77]

nah he only started cheating after he gassed. in rd 1 he was straight up grappling him.

Lmao well then he was gassed on Khabib first Takedown in the first round. Grabbing gloves and shorts is literally how he was defending EVERY takedown. Not to mention the illegal knee to prevent the kimura. it's not even debatable.

 

[Prologue]

Can we all agree that McGregor is definitely a power bottom?

Ok then.

You’re too far gone.

 

[markg171]

So weird how there's no illegal knee here preventing a kimura like you said there was and that wasn't "even debatable".

What there instead was preventing a kimura was Conor's right arm correctly blocking Khabib from stepping over like he needed to.

Hahaha it was that bit that made me post He’s called me a dedicated nuthugger!

Ohh it's there and Conor literally bragged about it not to long ago. The knee happened at 1:37 left in the round, it's convenient and dishonest you chose this angle after the knee. He cheated every round and on dam near every takedown.

 

[bjjwar]

It's mediocre, the way Mendes and Khabib manhandled him like a bum... Conor looked like a fish out of water. It's really terrible even for women mma.

So you admit that the knee happened at 1:37 whereas the gif of the actual kimura attempt clearly shows Khabib only cranking the kimura out from 1:25-1:17? And therefore no the knee didn't stop the kimura if the kimura was 20 seconds after the knee and not during it?

But sure, I'm the dishonest one for pointing out those are literally two completely different events, and for explaining why Khabib really couldn't submit Conor there due to their positions on the ground preventing the proper leverage for one.

 

[ThePimblettEra]

He unironically looked decent(ish) on the deck and at defending TDs, kind of.

I kinda respect that more than the panic/chain wrestling spam.
That's tedious imho and played out, it shouldn't put you in GOAT contention alone. More is required, certainly.

Not a Conrat nuthugger, but it is what it is I guess.

 

[legedema]

Why do you continue lying even after the gif has been posted countless times showing this never happened?

There was no illegal knee to escape the kimura. The knee was 30 seconds prior and played no part in the above escape. Khabib hadn't ever even attempted it yet, and he maintained his grip the entire time. You know, how he can attempt a kimura 30 seconds later.

All that actually happened is Khabib attempted a kimura without the proper position for one of stepping over Conor's head and so didn't have the leverage for it. And he couldn't do that because Conor's right arm as anybody can see is there preventing him from doing this.

You guys have to lie about a phantom illegal knee to explain the lack of submission here as you're trying to avoid the real answer simply being that Khabib made a rookie mistake of attempting submission before position, meanwhile Conor had secured the position needed and so won the sequence.

It's actually a sequence that shows good grappling on Conor's part and poor grappling on Khabib's.

The bullheadedness to continue to lie about things on the internet in 2023 is astounding. Like, you know video is available right?

you must be trolling all the time or you have a low IQ.
Khabib was on the way to finish the kimura and Conor did the illegal knee.
if you watch above video ( not yours ) Conor was fully on the ground and the only reason Conor was able to avoid it was the illegal knee. without that knee Khabib would be able to finish with not proper positioning and lol at saying rookie about Khabib who beat the shit out of your hero later on.
I am not lying but obviously you do by posting over and over the wrong gif

 

[Furious77]

Lol yeah i admit it ... I literally typed it. He kneed him in the head at 1:37 when Khabib was securing the Kimura. in the clip you so graciously provided Conor right leg is on the fence with toes gripped into the goddam cage for leverage to also help in preventing the step over. Two different events with two different fouls.
