McGregor reinventing movement?

[FATM]

As a keen watcher of MMA, I can't help but feel that McGregor has revolutionized movement in the octagon with his graceful manipulation of both joints and muscles.

I read an article that gives credence to my thoughts.

These are some movements that I've noticed that mirror the natural grace you see in the wilderness.
Gorilla

Monkey

Crocodile

Fish

What does Sherdog think?

Maybe the bowel movement after Nate hit that 1-2.

I noticed at 196 that Diaz draws much inspiration from the natural wilderness as well. Here is him attempting to replicate animal movement, albeit without as much grace as Conor.

Came in hoping for more than adolescent sycophancy. Left happy.

As much as I want to rip this thread to shreds I'll give a serious reponse in the form of a question..

Of all the UFC champions in the recent past and currently incumbent, who has needed ''movement'' or a ''movement coach'' to help them improve their game to championship winning levels aside from Conor?

I think sharpening all the tools in your game is infinitely better than working on stupid inefficient movements.

Condit has a movement coach, but when he posts videos on Facebook it's usually him running on a mountain pass jumping from rock to rock. No touch butt going on.
