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

[Got GOAT]

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

That might change in the future though.

Conor had Mendes almost on his ass in the 1st round with a left cross. He buckled him and was kicking him back into the cage, landing on him left and right. Mendes is lucky he even survived the 1st round by using his wrestling against Conor to stay around, and Conor had a bad knee injury at the time and was receiving stem cell injections to help it heal more quickly. As a result, he was able to do no live wrestling at all to prepare for Mendes. Not to mention that Conor was training for a striker and not a wrestler in the first place.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

The literal term "guard" (do osae) as applied to the technique was a Japanese invention. Obviously scissoring from bottom has been around since the birth of grappling. No, I don't believe bjj invented the bulk of its arts. There are few innovations accredited directly to bjj. Again, you're going off on a semantic rant about an argument I'm not presenting.

I'm mobile hence the brevity. The rest of your post is copy paste which is par for the course for you. This is three times now you've said you can prove yet I see none.

You and TS circle jerk together, congrats. The rest of us see both of your ridiculousness.

This post proves to me youre not really a Conor fan...because you are focusing on that left hook like the haters are while blatantly IGNORING Conor clipping Mendes with the best shot of that exchange and then making Mendes MISS BADLY ON 2 OF 3 shots.

Either way. It doenst matter. The facts are Conor made Mendes miss badly on 2 of 3 in that sequence

How is that showing off his under rated defense? Especially considering Mendes tagged Aldo at will in exchanges...Especially considering this thread, with idiots i.e Conor haters saying "he reiled on his chin"

Its insane how many truly stupid people they are in the world "bu but but Mendes landed a left hook" while - again, ignoring everything else and all proper contexts

But for those who actually know what they are watching, ITS STILL CLEAR that Conor was turing away from the left hook in anticipation

Thats why it didnt land with much force and why Conor was simply just "moved by it" Conor moved with it to deaden some of the force

But again, either way it doesnt matter. The points still stand. Whether if the left hook landed with force or not, it has NO bearing on anything

BTW, how can you even call yourself a Conor fan, yet actually agree with BWC? Hes a legit nut job and one of the most crazed Conor haters on here. IF BWC is on your side then thats when you know you are on the wrong side and should reevaluate

Tldr but I do think the probing and the left that Conor snuck in was nice it just wasn't a perfect combination like you claim, huge Conor fan here but I'm not gonna lie to myself

 

[skobydog]

-Conor is probing his lead hand; occupying, distracting, range finding, drawing out a response. There are multiple uses for Conor's lead hand probes. Conor will guage the opponents reaction, make his read, then exploit

He wasn't the first though.

The Japanese didn't invent the bottom scissor position. They simply call it their own name. But today's modern day "guard", call it what you like, you can say they named it that and even law enforcement & the military use that terminology now (as well as "the mount" position).

I said I can prove that I train and have been involved in martial arts since I was a kid. I never said that I would. Those pictures would only cause you to try and cut me up, that's how it works on Sherdog. You'd find something to try and mock. And none of my history lesson to you was copy & paste. I know my shit because I've researched it, since I train, go figure. BTW, wrestling has been around longer than any art or discipline known to mankind. How long? At least 15,000 years. Drawings depicting wrestling on cave walls and such prove that much. BJJ and Judo, even Japanese JuJutsu (Japanese Jiu-Jitsu) are extremely MODERN in comparison. Folkstyles of wrestling have existed long before Jesus Christ ever set foot on Earth's soil, my friend. That's a fact.

Enjoy your "triangle jerk" with your BJJ heroes. I'll enjoy watching pure Catch Wrestlers like Josh Barnett (who holds an honorary BJJ black belt from Rigan Machado but does not train BJJ at all) continue to defend his Metamoris Heavyweight strap against BJJ players, steamroll and submit them with simple wrestling techniques, one of which was against a BJJ ace & US National team Sambist (Lister) who hadn't been subbed in 15 or 16 years of active competition, yet he fell to a head-and-arm (scarf hold position in Judo) hold that's taught in American Folkstyle wrestling in elementary school. Allow maneuvers such as neck cranks and foot locks in ALL BJJ competitions worldwide and Catch Wrestlers would be catching these Jits players in all kinds of subs (from virtually any position) they weren't even taught to be aware of, let alone taught to be able to defend against them. Barnett is playing by BJJ sport rules and still submitting these world class BJJ studs (Ryron, not so much, but still a very legit high level BJJ black belt).

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Oh I get it now. Asshurt over styles. I thought you were young turns out you're just emotional, insecure, and butthurt because of a popularity contest between styles.

 

[mikekoz68]

Conor would out box Floyd imo.

Out box, prob not, but there would be a good chance Conor KO's Mayweather, if he landed a clean shot he has way, way more power than anyone Mayweather has fought.

They'd both weigh on at 147 but Conor could be 160+ on fight night and Mayweather 155 max so the power discrepancy would be great

No. I like BJJ and it has its purposes, but this claiming that they invented this and that along with the Japanese is lame because people, like you, have it wrong. BJJ is great for people that don't know how to wrestle, older people and unathletic types. Don't believe me? Ask Rener and Ryron, they said this on one of their Gracie Breakdown vids when talking about Barnett's submission win over Lister and how anybody can do BJJ. Al Bundy does BJJ and is ranked. Catch Wrestlers are often good to great athletes with not just the skill but the physicality to go with it.

Welcome to reality.

But Aldo did get taken down by Chad, he was also dropped once and rocked on once.

He got hit with 2-3 legit hard elbows and about 2-3 legit hard shots on the feet. McGregor still rocked Chad twice in the first round and still finished him after being "dominated" for 2 rounds.

Also, don't forget Chad was pleading to the ref to stop the elbows too... guys who bash Conor never seem to mention the unbiased facts.

You're right, he did...remind me how long Aldo was held down by Mendes? Was it anywhere near as long as Conor was? Or as near as often?

Mendes may not have dominated Conor...but who did you score the rounds for before the finish?

Chad did ask the ref if the elbows were illegal...when he was told they weren't, he kept holding Conor down. Conor really didn't land that many elbows, and they didn't lead to Chad trying that ill-fated guillotine. The elbows really didn't do that much, especially compared to the elbows Chad landed on Conor. At least Conor tried something off his back though, because he clearly couldn't do anything else...

Conor also pleaded with the ref to be stood up since he couldn't do it on his own...guys who love Conor never seem to mention the unbiased facts. :icon_twis

I never thought I'd agree with you Got GOAT....but hell yeah!

I'm no BJJ blackbelt, but I've wrestled at Div 1. When I started training MMA, after a month or so I could roll with BJJ guys who had been at it for years, and I was able to neutralize them...and beat them good when it was MMA rules. Once I got better, arm triangles and anaconda chokes started winning me a lot of rolls against the blue and purple belts, and I rarely was in bad positions because of my wrestling.

That's why Aldo's better wrestling will serve him very well against McGregor :wink:

 

[Bulletproof Acc]

What a retarded OP. Props to Conor for winning the fight but don't praise something that was non existent (tdd). Gloat about his striking instead.

 

[Bulletproof Acc]

Watch the gifs GOT GOAT provided again. You can clearly see Conor start to move his head/body away from the left in anticipation as it comes. Right before it comes

Conor "moved with it" taking off most of the force

Dont let idiots, just because there are more of them, sway you

Most sherdog MMA "fans" dont know shit about striking or skill. At one point the majority also thought the world was flat

Ignore popular sheep "opinions" fueled off ignorance. Look at the facts. Read my OP. Pay close attention to the gifs

The left is irrelevant

Ask yourself, why are the haters so obsessed and fixated on that one left hook from Mendes?

Why do they ignore Conor CLIPPING MENDES coming in, and Conor making Mendes MISS BADLY on 2 of 3 shots

Why do they ignore Conor still being able to neautralise and control Mendes through Mendes best moment. Thats the sign of real tested defense.

Conor haters are shizos only seeing what they want to see

If Conor had bad D he wouldve been clipped there...IF Conor had truly taken "plenty" of clean shots gis face wouldve mangled like Aldo's face was by Mendes, and not just show a cut from an elbow on the ground


No one can logically answer to those statements or questions for a reason

Conor haters are the worst

You don't know anything about proper striking. At all. Have that username changed boy.

 

[Wamma]

No he wouldnt....BUT Conor WOULD destroy the shit out of Floyd in a REAL striking contest with kicks/elbows/knees etc

Pretty awful fan boy gushing and just flat out stretching of reality.

You try to sell this idea like this was some defense masterpiece by Conor that should be displayed in a boxing museum on Mount Olympus with the gods. That Conor is a master tactician who thru a lead hand probe read and PERFECTLY Controlled the situation!!!!!

Now back to reality.

He times his left pretty well but that's about it. You use the term creating collisions here. Which is literally something you stole from jack slack articles. You can't just respew buzz words someone else uses and then pretend you have their knowledge and acumen for striking.

In Connors super duper ultra wultra perfect defense why did he decide it would be best to eat and get rocked by a huge left hand far more devestating then his wimpy left which barely moves chads head even though he runs into it?

"He rolls with the punch, he rolls with the punch he rolls with the punch." What if you say it a lot it becomes true? If he was some master of defense he would have ducked under or slipped the punch not roll his head with it. Also HE WASN'T FUCKING ROLLING HIS HEAD. Watch your own gif he's returning to stance after throwing his punch. Before Chad connects he stops his head from moving and while his head is perfectly still and NOT rolling with the punch he gets clobbered.

Can't believe you dedicated this much time to nonsense.

Trying to think who's the Mcgregor fan boy who posts the worst threads about their hero, this clown has to be top 5

haters gonna hate

Lets keep this thread up boys. Lets never stop celebrating how Conor outboxed a pure wrestler! Wooo!!

May weather dances around McGregor than drops him when Conor throws his straight left that shift his entire weight into his front leg.


Don't be an idiot, no one out boxes Mayweather.

Yeah, Jack Slack wannabe. Who even know if Jack Slack is worth a damn, he's anonymous. We have no idea if he has ever been in a real fight like ever. He could be completely full of shit for all we know..

First round was Conor's, second round was Chad's.

Also, the only reason Chad went for the submission was because he couldn't really do much in guard, the first elbow he landed was nice but none of them were shots that could finish a fighter.

Also, you mentioned that Conor couldn't stand up on his own when he got up from the bottom at least 3 times and stuffed at least 2 takedowns too.

No matter how bad Conor looked, he got his hand raised after viciously finishing one of the best fighters in the division.
