Why couldn't Conor finish Max?

[unimackpass]

Obviously Conor has big power, 13sec ect, but don't hear much about Max going 3 rounds. Any reflection on tonight's fight?

 

[Rational Poster]

He tore his ACL fighting Max...

 

[Brock Tober]

Much of that fight was on the ground.

[sidecheckkick]

Conor fought a guy bigger than him and couldn't win

 

[clift]

He tore his ACL mid fight and still beat him. Another fight and you'd probablysee a ko.

 

[burningspear]

Max is pretty damn good himself.

 

[Toco]

some people you cant just knock them out

 

[Higgins2Waite]

Holloway was fighting to survive.

 

[jtruelove]

At first I thought Conor was having such an easy time striking with Holloway, that he decided to test himself on the ground.

I didn't knew about his ACL.

 

[yeguiza]

because max was fighting back and defending himself intelligently

 

[effervesciata]

He tore his ACL fighting Max...

At the end of the second round. Why didn't he knock him out before that?

Thanks for the feedback .

More like: 30 seconds before rd2 ended.

..and he got injured because he decided to take Max down, for some reason no one can explain, given his alleged total domination of Max standing.

It wasn't alleged if everyone saw it. Conor beat him everywhere

allegedly

he was out almost a year afterward lol

 

[Croo67]

Because he snapped his ACL at the weigh ins, you bum!

You know, the ACL? The ligament that stabalizes the knee? The ligament that, if snapped, would make it near impossible for him to stand on, let alone bounce about the octagon changing weight from leg to leg.

(sarcasm)

allegedly

Do you think the 11-month lay-off and cast around his leg was just an act or something?

He won 30-27, 30-27, 30-26 lol

 

[Croo67]

He may have tore it afterwards, but he certainly did not fully tear it in the octagon.
