Why do commentators act as if Conor doing shoulder strikes is unique

[Quacky Chan]

I know it's so f*king annoying like it's some newly discovered technique. I saw Usman tear up Woodley with them against the fence while turning his feet into scuba flippers with foot stomps.

Usman does it that's f*king boring, McGregor he's a MMA genius..?

It's bc Usman is a Trump supporter.

I'm glad Tyquils feet got stomped into flippers.

Not a Jones fan at all but he was first one I thought of. It’s no different then leg kicks now being this amazing new effective thing to use in a fight cause it worked against Conor.

I think it was due to no one else breaking their opponents nose with them and finishing them inside two minutes like against Cowboy.

The entire UFC as a company does anything, and everything to make Conor appear to be much more than what he is. The fact is there is nothing original, or special about the guy at all. He just came along at a time when he was able to suck in a huge amount of mentally weak, and immature individuals. And con them into thinking he’s some kind of god. While it’s clear he’s nothing but a false prophet.

Did you order the Donald Trump special?

Quite different when you consider one guy was doing it for selfish reasons and had everything to gain while the other was sacrificing to do what he thought was right and had everything to lose. So tired of the black or white politics.

We are all really smarter than this and in the end get buttfucked by the powerful by succumbing to these traps they have laid.

When he shoulder striked Dustin the commentators were like "wow there it is, those devastating shoulder strikes"

Or when he busted Cowboy with them, it was like it was something new,

Seriously?

Jones was doing those years ago, why no mention or respect?

I first remember seeing Nick Diaz do them.

It’s not unique. He just happens to do it better than most. That is impressive. Dustin tried some shoulder butts too, but you could see the difference in power between them. It’s not unique. Just impressive. Any educated fan of the sport can recognize this too.

There you go

I wanted to puke when they were acting like it's next level shit

Randy Couture's been doing them before Reebok. and i know he's not the first.

 

[dracul]

be glad rogan wasn't there.. he'd be exploding

 

[Bend NvR Break]

No one has ever done them or trained them the way Conor does. Since when have you seen another fighter hurt someone with a shoulder strike?

See Jon vs Glover.

I'm just glad Phil Davis has never done them...

Boom actually you're right. I do remember Randy doing then YEARS ago.

 

[NotDana]

See Jon vs Glover.

It was cowboy. The same guy who blew his nose to get out of a fight. I wouldnt put too much stock into anything anybody has done against donald " gee shucks, i dont care if i get beat up im just happy to be a cowboy" cerrone.

Take Conor's balls out of your mouth before you type

Or Niko Price and his shoulder spikes.
