Reminder: Conor Mcgregor has no ground game

[Koro_11]

no cardio too

but he has KO power in them hands

Against 145 lb manlets.

This is a pretty weird and unhinged necro. Imagine being butthurt about people's posts 4 years later.

I used it as an example that MMA culture ebbs and flows. We’re better off today than we were 5 years ago. Me necroing a thread to show that disrespectful braindead fans were a flash in the pan that disappeared from the sport (nearly all of whom got themselves banned after their fad finished) isn’t “butthurt”… it is demonstrating the inevitable conclusions of such fads

Khabib is gonna get knocked out when he rushes in for a takedown with his hands down.

it's gonna look easy

done in one

Bet you feel like an idiot don't you? Conor fans are cancer.

Conor is the best striker in MMA history by a country mile

And one of the most underrated grapplers, great video TS

glad to see that you can get banned for stupidity.

I used to get so wound up by the mcgregor fan club but reading this thread now it seemed 90% were just trolling.

Conor did better vs Khabib than people remember, he just didn't have the cardio to keep up at all.

Conor's best round was the 3rd. Cardio isn't the reason he was getting his ass handed to him before and after that round.

No, but I think his ability to wrestle from bottom and not get absolutely smashed by Khabib was impressive. He had flashes of good takedown defense too. Cardio was definitely a reason though, silly statement but you're entitled to your opinion.

Conor spent 4 minutes on his back in the first round, and 4 minutes on his back in the second round, then had his more productive round in round 3. That tells you 2 things:

1) he didn't showcase any takedown defense at all because he was on his back for literally 12 minutes of a 17 minute long fight
2) that cardio wasn't a problem for him because his best showing of cardio was late in the fight, not early

Conor was simply not the level of grappler Khabib was

Maybe you don't remember the fight as well as you're thinking
