The CRIMINALLY UNDER Rated Defense of Conor McGregor in 1 Gif !!!

[Got GOAT]

The most significant punch of that exchange was landed by Conor, the only punch he threw while Mendes threw 3 (missing two badly and having the other deflated).

A glancing blow to the eye crest with the pinkie knuckle? Lol ok.

All it takes is a glancing blow from Conor's left straight, you dip. On top of that, Mendes collided into it face first (due to Conor's superior timing). Do the math on how that would usually work out had it connected more cleanly. And it was more than just his pinky finger's knuckle that landed.

I also do train. I've been a martial artist since I was 9 and can easily prove that. I've been to many MMA gyms and sparred with all kinds of guys, local fighters and guys in town just visiting the area. You don't even need to train to know what TS is not just telling you but SHOWING you. You're not very bright. :redface:

Notice I have no issues with TS's posts. And cool, kid. 2 years of martial arts training! Congrats, you'll be in a training bra any day now squirt!

Go ahead, prove it. Because all I see from you is copy pasted from Reddit, people who actually train. You know, ones who know the difference between a hook and an overhand, or a scissor sweep vs a pendulum sweep.

Read Jack Slack. That's some bible-level knowledge being dropped there. The man knows wtf he's talking about

I already proved you wrong in that that sweep has several names for it. It's also a BJJ name and I never claimed to be a BJJ expert. I prefer Catch Wrestling and would school you on that as well. You do realize that an "overhand" isn't even one of the basic textbook punches in boxing, right? It's a specialized punch (like a bolo punch or a shovelcut). An overhand can also be thrown with an arc trajectory, short and long.

You've never been able to prove anything because all you do is go to places like Reddit to try and learn when I do the shit. I'm 32 now and started training at 9, "squirt".

One of Got CAN's common copy-paste targets. Intellectual theft.

Wow, such proof.

No, a scissor sweep and a pendulum sweep are never the same. No one calls a pendulum a scissor EVER. And I'm glad you read up on the overhand, we were all getting tired of your misuse.

 

[MuffinGod11]

The amount of over-analyzing in this thread is hilarious. Just a typical back and forth on minutae that doesn't matter that much. People here have free time to just either shun everything McGregor does or either hype every single thing McGregor does like he's god given gift.

Kids, just give it up for a second and let the world of MMA go without more McGregor banter. This dumb thread has almost 500 replies.

Good thing a name for a BJJ sweep does't mean dick when scissoring is involved. It's about as important as calling the bottom scissors position the "guard" in Catch. You BJJ wannabes always have to have a name for everything. Just remember where those techniques came from.

Also, if you actually believe that first right hand that Chad threw against McGregor was technically an overhand right then you'd be wrong. It was a wild haymaker. Watch where his elbow is when it's thrown.

This is what a mid range overhand (overcut) looks like:

From long range so naturally it'll be more linear/staight in order to land...

Look up the definition yourself, since you have no clue of what one really looks like with proper technique. It can be thrown both as a semi-circular punch (with arc) and as a vertical punch where the objective is to drop it down on the target.

Only agreed upon by you 5 Jones ball suckers

Learn how to actually read because my point was that Wanderlie has more KOs then Jones has total fights

That Jones barely has 22 fights

That to even include Jones in the convo of all time GOAT is not only insane ignorance but disrespectgul to every other legit GOAT who put in the work over a long body of career and EARNED their spot OVER TIME

In fact Jones will never rank high on GOAT lists because he was nothing but size and reach and only really beat OLD past their prime fighters and MWs. His only elite PRIME opponents being Gus and DC. Gus beat him according to most and DC is 36

Its so see through when I read this thread and the "people" hating on Conor all seem to be hardcore Anderson/Jones newb fans. The racisim is being exposed

Boxingislife is straight schooling these nubs. Good job man. And you're completely right about Condit and Matt Brown having SUPERIOR step-in elbows to Jones. Jones almost always has AT LEAST an 8" reach advantage on his opponents, but it's been as high as around a foot. Conor didn't even have a usable 8" reach advantage on Mendes because Conor's chest is much broader and they measure your wingspan across the chest. Realistically, the difference in reach was about 5-6", so 2.5" to 3" per arm. That's not that much. Conor never needed long arms to be able to control distance and land anyway. Anyone that thinks otherwise needs to stop watching MMA altogether.

I feel bad for you two.

This has gotten way out of hand. 47 pages about 1 gif resulting in 2 punches.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Bjj came from judo which came from Japanese jujutsu.

The guard was used in Japan in the 1600's. Wrapping your legs around your opponent's hips prevented him from drawing his wakizashi, tanto, or yoroidoshi and stabbing you. Fusen-ryu called it "the guard" in the 19th century, well before catch.


Also notice I never called Chad's punch anything at all, and wow, copy paste again. You use semantics, graphics, and put words in others mouths to cover your utter lack of real world training.

But please, keep showing us your hand.

[$uicideboy$]

No, anyone who actually knows striking, agrees with me, because that's what was, its the reality. Im simply breaking down the why and how of what happened. You're the troll and I already debunked you and the other Conor hating trolls spaming this thread with multiple accounts

u didnt "debunk" shit bruh
mendes won that trade easy lmao

I know the history of these arts and disciplines far better than you do. And no, BJJ came from more than just Judo, it also came from Japanese Jiu-Jitsu (Ju-Jutsu) and also borrowed techniques from Catch Wrestling. In fact, the Gracies were both taught and beat by Catch Wrestlers that were also Judokas. Mitsuyo Maeda was a Catch practitioner and had a lot of Catch Wrestling matches. Kimura was a Judoka and Catch Wrestler himself who defeated Helio with that technique named after himself, which is just a double wristlock in Catch (where he learned it from). BJJ's "triangle" (with the arms or legs) are figure four holds from Catch wrestling. You know where BJJ got all of its foot locks? From Sambo and Catch. Rickson already admitted it on a Rogan podcast that Rolls Gracie added them into BJJ back in the 80's from those disciplines. BJJ is just a conglomeration of techniques that existed long before they were 'claimed' to be new by Brazilians and gullible people like you. lol

Catch wrestling is freestyle wrestling without the hooks (submission holds). So no, it didn't exist before wrestling. Also, again, there is no "guard" in Catch, it's called the bottom scissors position, since that's what's taking place (the opponent's hips/body being scissored). A Catch Wrestler, Ad Santel, single-handedly defeated all of the very best Judokas, hand picked by Jigoro Kano himself, sent from the Kodokan to the US. He only suffered one loss and beat every one of them with the superior art of Catch Wrestling. And there are other examples I could give.

Also notice I never called Chad's punch anything at all, and wow, copy paste again. You use semantics, graphics, and put words in others mouths to cover your utter lack of real world training.

Where's your training at? You don't train. I can post pics from when I was just a kid enrolled in TKD, Karate and wrestling. I can post updated ones taken recently if I cared to. There's a reason TS holds me in high regard when discussing the intricacies of striking, he knows that I do know what I'm talking about. You'd rather just try and give me a quick history lesson with no substance at all due to lack of knowledge and no "real world" training except for hitting Google and reading on Sherdog.

For the record, nobody responded or quoted my posts because they are the truth.

As simply as I can put it, Mcgregor had a huge reach advantage but attempted use a counter strike style when Mendes attacked and paid for it badly, got lit up and hit so many times that he was humble to even Edgar afterwards.

No matter how much you claim that Mcgregor had the perfect fight, its quite clear he didn't. This wasn't dominance at all, Mcgregor is an amazing fighter and very unique, his fluidity in strikes is nearly unparalleled in MMA. That being said, his style has very many holes and he isn't a physical behemoth like other division champions (Weidman, Jones).


Mcgregor couldn't even dictate where the fight took place, he got taken down and stood up a humbled man, nodding to Mendes like he was stating "You are indeed a challenge".

Mendes was a challenge for him, its quite clear.

That show of modesty is what I'm beginning to like about him, I will root for him against Aldo but am quite worried at the potential outcome.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Mendes was more than a challenge for Conor. Conor was lucky to beat him at all.

That might change in the future though.

And in one of the gifs, it doesn't even look like Conor purposefully wweaves the punch. It looks like the impact from their bodies colliding makes his head jerk in that direction.

Lmao......Conor is not some boxing savant. He's an incredibly powerful, and crisp striker. He's not Pernell whitaker.

When you title the thread, "criminally underrated", it usually means a ton of people think his defense sucks or is non existent. His defense isn't non existent. It just sucks.
