McGregor would have KOed Frankie Edgar out cold

[Bend NvR Break]

If Maynard pieced him up prime Conor probably would have KOd him

Much different story.

Maynard is a wrestler first and beat Frankie mainly using wrestling in their first fight iirc. So Frankie would be expecting Maynard to shoot for a TD at any time leaving him susceptible to getting caught with strikes.

Also Maynard hit like a mack truck.

Frankie would have nothing to worry about with Conor shooting on him so he could just focus on striking defense.

Truth is Frankie was a nightmare match up for Conor thus Conor avoided him like the plague and never even mentioned his name.

Of course. Healthy McGregor wipes the floor with anyone at lightweight and featherweight. He already destroyed Holloway (featherweight champ) and Poirier (interim lightweight champ), and went four rounds with the current lightweight champ on a broken foot after a two-year layoff.

Conor is the only guy I always hear about “going rounds” with people as a big accomplishment .
But I think he takes Frankie out.

You got that a little mixed up.

His rectum was broken, but that happened after the fight, not before.
