Not impressed by Conor's performance against Alverez. Showed exactly why Conor will lose.

[Mixedfights]

Lol

 

[ANIM4L]

Looked rushed and sloppy. Completely terrified of standing with Conor. He looked scared as hell. Mendes was patient and only shot when it was open and it worked. I don’t think Khabib will be as patient but he can get away with it.

It was weird. He looked completely off. Kept circling into the power hand getting dropped over and over. I should probably rewatch the fight but thats how I remember it.

We're a little full of ourselves, aren't we? I provide deep, intellectual fight analysis - Alverez (consistenly spelled wrong) is a mediocre fighter who exposed McGregor, while being completely dominated, because at some point during the fight he touched him. Well, Khabib has a small reach, but that won't matter, cause he won't have to box him for long.

You could have summed up your case about McGregor losing in one sentence: He doesn't do well against bigger guys. That's about as far as your analysis goes. Alvarez froze up in front of McGregor, which is about the biggest mistake you can make, when you're fighting him. Khabib probably won't do the same, but he's also in danger if he just charges forward. The fact that Alvarez touched McGregor doesn't mean that Khabib will magically close the distance and finish his takedowns with ease. The question in this fight isn't whether Khabib can land takedowns if he gets to the clinch. The question is, can he close the distance and avoid getting caught with something? This is tough to answer, because Khabib isn't the striker that Alvarez is. You completely overlook all this. There's a really good chance that McGregor loses, but your "analysis" isn't helping anyone!

I give you credit for at least answering back with your own take and I do agree with you that Alverez froze against Conor instead of being more aggressive. You can't fight Conor like that if you are a wrestler with limited striking. You gotta take the risk of getting caught while coming in. Could Conor catch you? Definitely, but let's not act like that's an easy thing to do. It's worth the risk than just giving Conor time to think and not putting pressure on him as he walks you down and picks you apart with his reach.

Now with that said. Blow me.

Yes!!! Alverez is trash

That was one of the most impressive performances in MMA history. It was a slaughtering. Didn't read a sentence of this garbage thread.

Hahaha LOL

The one thing Eddie did well was leg kick. He dropped Conor with one early in the fight.

It's definitely not easy catching people with something big on the way in, but we've seen Conor finish fights litterally the first time he saw an opening. He did this with Aldo and Poirier, who are more skilled than Khabib on the feet, so let's not act like it's an easy thing to avoid Conor's hands.

I'm not saying that Conor will win, in fact I agree with Khabib being the favorite. But, this fight is by no means decided beforehand. Just acknowledge that...

Interesting.

This isn't meant to be a Conor bashing thread. I create these threads because I know that I provide deep, intellectual, fight analysis for all of the forum to think about and enjoy. I am a fan of Conor, so all of his rapid fanboys who managed to escape the Asylum better not call me out for being a hater just because I feel the man is in big trouble come fight night. I am about to open the eyes of people who think Conor will win and change the opinion of even the most diehard Conor fan with the analysis. Let's begin shall we?


Alverez is a decent fighter but it's questionable whether or not he's above the Dustin Poirier's of the world. He was champ and somehow beat RDA but everybody knows RDA wins that fight 9/10 times and no fluke punch will ever change that.



The Alverez fight had Conor looking like a million bucks. Partly because Alverez just isn't that much of a smart fighter. Alverez came into the fight trying to use his boxing to setup his shitty takedowns. That was the first problem. At one point he runs directly at Conor with a combo just like Aldo did and got blasted. For too long he tried to box a skilled boxer with a 5 inch reach advantage instead of mixing in his takedowns and paid the price. Not to mention, he isn't that much of a great wrestler to begin with.

He gave Conor way too much time to think instead of coming in aggressive and didn't chain his takedown attempts well enough when he did come into range.

The thing is, when watching that fight, Conor couldn't have been much better .....and you know what? If that fight happened the same way that it did, only you replace Alverez with Khabib, Khabib most likely wins. Alverez got hit around a bunch during that fight but there was no one punch KO like so many people seem to think Conor is capable of doing to anybody. Eddie got hit but still had plenty of time to regain himself and go for takedown attempts. Conor clearly changed his stance for this fight in order to make it hard for Eddie to get his hands on him and guess what? He still did. Got Conor in the clinch and in situations that Khabib would have no doubt taken him down in.

You see.....the problem is most people are too blind to realize that while that was an excellent performance, smart people like me see all of the oppenings that Conor left that would have gave someone like Khabib a great oppertunity to have success.

Khabib is also taller that Alverez. I was shocked to see the height difference between the two, especially when Alverez is listed at 5'9 by the UFC but that clearly wasn't the case. Conor had at least 2 inches on him. That combined with the huge reach advantage spelled trouble for Alverez before the fight even started. The fact is, Conor will always beat people he dwarfs. It's like Jon Jones. Jones only really ever had problems with Gus because he was the same size as him. Those guys are too good at distance control and are too skilled for smaller fighters to be effective on them because they are bigger but yet still just as fast and skilled as their opponents. They don't lose anything while also having the height and reach advantage. What happened when Conor fought Nate? He was getting hit and lost because for once, he was fighting someone who couldn't completely bully.

Now I know what you're thinking. Khabib is taller than Conor but has a worse reach than Alverez.....that's true, but Khabib won't need to box Conor much at all. The fact that Khabib is just as tall as Conor and will be level with him is good because we all know how Conor's confidence is shook when he can't dwarf someone.

There ya go

Hey......go fuck yourself! No one wants your deep fight knowledge and insight. Go tell your mom how great you are. No one here buys it

 

[Superzorro]

There's literally nothing wrong with this thread. Everything the OP said was true to some degree. Alvarez was even able to back Conor against the cage, even if he wasn't able to do much with it. Khabib will be able to do a lot with it. Khabib should win this fight pretty easily, mark my words. And this is coming from someone who is called a Conor "nuthugger" on this forum (despite that being far from the truth). This is also a lot better than the typical "Khabib will smash him," post.

 

[eddiedingle]

Alvaŕez was done after he got sparked 30 seconds in. so his wrestling was a non issue after it.

 

[Willek]

TS said alot without saying anything at all

 

[TriangleMonkey]

That was a wall of shiat

Anyways I sorta agree with the Eddie part. Dude did not fight good against Conor, doesnt really have the best wrestling considering the caliber of wrestlers in the UFC and he still got his hands on him. And as far as RDA winning that fight 9/10 times, I can agree with that too.

Khabib needs to eat the shots hes gonna eat and proceed to maul that man.

GSP said it best, Conor has to win with a KO/TKO, Khabib can win by Gnp, Submission, TKO, and by Decision.

Take a look at the threads TS created before Conor dismantled Eddie like a bum:

-claims that Eddie's trash talk is mindfucking Conor fangirls <45>

http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/c...-did-to-barnette-nope-aint-happening.3381559/

-claims Eddie will get rid of the pest called Conor and choke him out in the second <Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo>



TL;DR TS predicted Eddie wins by 2nd round sub, Conor made him look like a retard and now TS holds bitterness deep in his bum soul.

 

[FireKidWS]

I don’t think in hell there’s any way TS isn’t trolling. Nobody is this dumb.

But, in the rare case he isn’t, he should propably quit posting about MMA. He’s obviously a buffoon or a simpleton.

I appreciate a good troll as well as the next guy, though, so carry on gentlemen.

 

[Cat Biscuits]

Great post, but you're just going to get shit from people who can't see it from your perspective. Eddie had a horrible gameplan on this fight, and gave Conor exactly what he wanted and needed to win the fight. Conor looked good because Eddie played into all of Conor's strengths without ever challenging him on his weaknesses.

Had Eddie employed the same strategy as he did vs Pettis, he would've had worn Conor's arms out and drained his cardio. He couldn't weather the storm, and stood in front of Conor instead of staying on him for the first round. Eddie didn't have to land the takedown to be successful. He only needed to pressure Conor, take away space, and clinch to wear out his arms and cardio. Had he done that, Conor would've eventually gassed and wouldn't be able to hit as hard had he chose to stay standing.

 

[Codpiece]

All the triggered Colin fans attacking TS for seeing it for what it is.

Ya know you can be a fan of a fighter and be real about it right? So I guess if you don't nuthug and guzzle Conor's load and think he's unbeatable then that means you're just a hater?

Lol TS speaking truth here and the nuthuggers are ready to Lynch him.

Nobody is trying to lynch your other account. Most people saying they didn’t read it.

That’s wise of them because it’s pretty obvious trolling.

 

[Arrrrgh]

I got through the first paragraph and reread the thread title. You are definitely a Conor hater but you are also an Eddie hater so that's something to hang your hat on!

Please don't mind me though, continue convincing yourself that the earth is flat.

[Chain Saw]

Great thread.

Alvarez is not elite anywhere, he is a jack of all trades and master of none.

McGregor is incredibly lucky that Alvarez managed to beat a dehydrated RDA and become LW champ because that is Conor's easiest match up in the division.

 

[UFC178]

Yep as predicted, if you aint slurping Conor you're hater. No surprise seeing ad how most of these guys where born out of the cacoon of Conors nutsack. Probably all on his payroll too.

You bring facts to these morons and they ignore and isntead post stupid gif's.

You people are making yourselfs look like the dumb ones not me. Glad there are still decent postera such as yourself who realize this

Why are you replying to your alt account?
