Should McGregor submit Dustin this time?

[KH4818]

But anyone can see that his grappling has evolved since 2015 when he fought Mendes, for example.
Also Dustin was not even close to Conor’s level when they fought the first time, so to think that he’s progressed so much that he will go in there and put Conor with ease is nothing but stupid.

I am not suggesting he will put Conor away with ease, I'm merely pointing out there's an argument for Conor not making leaps and bounds over the years.

I'd like Dustin to win, I think it's 65/35 in favour of Conor.

Apparently, though anyone I have challenged on that point has no specific details whatsoever to back up this claim, aside from hes been active.

I doubt the result will be different. Lol

To make a statement. Or just KO him stiff like last time? He has already proven to be most deadliest puncher and kicker but he needs some scalps on his grappling department. He has all the tools but usually he kust dominates on feet

Conor the fisticuffs king winning via submission...

 

[MGS]

The only thing Conor should submit is an apology for his cherry picked "season" and to ever wanted to fight fucking Diego Sanchez.

Those nuhuggers never dissapoint with their shit posts.
Now they again popped out of their heros ass

He's not subbing Dustin, unless Dustin is basically out and he decides to pull the last couple of punches and look for a sub, but I do believe Conor is a better wrestler, and apart from cardio just an overal better athlete

Has Conor even submit someone in the UFC i know he submitted someone in Cage Warriors

 

[gluehuffer1776]

Conor can wreck dustin in anyway Conor chooses

 

[cws80us]

Remember that one time when conman tried to panic wrestle Nate. Yeah, that was awesome!

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

People keep saying that the guys Conor beat before have changed, but still bring up old negative observations about Conor. Lol

Look at Conor's fight frequency/training regimen over the last 4 years and then look at Dustin's. Lol

Adding that ”lol” trying to make your idea look more valid? Piss off ya goof.

 

[JakePaulMMA]

I think Dustin has a decent shot. Things change over time.

 

[The Chosen]

Haven't seen much submission ability out of him

But technically and positionally I see him as superior to Dustin.

People tend to underestimate his jiu jitsu. Most people who know anything about jiu jitsu know otherwise.

I agree, Conor’s BJJ is probably comparable to Dustin’s. It’s just funny to think Conor would just choose to submit him like on a whim

 

[Reffson]

Conor gassed at that point from hitting Diaz so many times and training for power instead of stamina. Hence the second fight.

Boof. . . I was MOCKING THE FACT YOU WROTE THAT. . . literally mimicking your very own smug, small-cock way of writing. . . and your response is, and I quote, "Adding that ”lol” trying to make your idea look more valid? Piss off ya goof"
I couldn't plan a more schadenfreude comeback. This time you got a literal, audible chuckle from me.

Lol.... How does it feel being a weird, creepy fuck who obsesses over strangers?

 

[axe wound]

pretty sure your notorious left hand is notorious for giving conor reach-arounds

Obviously TS is a troll, but this thread surprised me. I think Conor is a horrible person but I don't hate him enough to think he's "below UFC level" or "white belt" or any of the other hyperboles about his grappling in this thread. You don't sweep Nate and control/consistently outscramble guys like Brandao, Holloway, and Siver on the ground unless you're a good grappler. Obviously he's primarily a striker but we don't have to be delusional about Conor's grappling just because he's a horrible human being.

That bottom loss was at 155, not 145. You'd need a pic of his kneebar loss if you want a 145 sub defeat.
