his style is perfect for MMA

Why didnt Eddie take Conor down? because Conors ability to maintain distance and his boxing and footwork prevented his ability to get the clinch or grab a leg.

Muhammad Ali would be the same thing times 100.

If a prime Ali were to fight a prime Cain in MMA, Ali would KO him in the first round.
 
Sprawl like a butterfly, snap down like a bee?

<mma4>
 
Why did Conor take Diaz down though?

Thats the real question
 
His style is horrible for mma actually. He get taken down easily unable ti sprawl
 
Nah

Black guys don't make great MMA HW's.

When was the last black HW champion in MMA anyway? Randleman in like 1999?

because Nate has longer reach and can actually stand with Conor and has one of the best chins in the game.

Ali would outbox everyone from start to finish. He has the cardio too.

Sometimes some people are good at some things, but not good at other things. On the flip side, sometimes some people are good at other things, but not good at some things.

In his prime, Ali weighed between 206 to 220 without cutting any weight of course. 6'3", 78" reach. Clearly a LHW, in the mode of Jon Jones, except a little smaller.

And to follow your logic, black guys win the LHW championship in MMA all the time - Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier, Rashad Evans, Rampage Jackson.

That's not following my logic at all.

I said black guys don't make great MMA HW's and you list off a bunch of guys who don't fight at HW.


Good job.
 
Muhammad Ali is my favorite human being that's not related to me but I don't think he'd fair well at all in MMA. Mike Tyson would be a far better candidate for a major crossover star, Tyson was explosive and compact and hit like a truck. It's similar to when Crocop crossed over, he wasn't the best kickboxer on the planet by a long shot but he was the most ideal one to cross over though.
