Why does everyone think Frankie can sub McGregor?

[Greedy Dana]

Trust me, i'm not praising McGregors jiu jitsu, but everyone is saying his jiu jitsu sucks because he got subbed by a DIAZ BROTHER after he was hurt and gassed. Frankie has like 3 sub victories and one was a hail mary sub at the end of the fight. Frankie doesn't have great jiu jitsu, it's MUCH more likely he pounds him out on the ground than subs him.

TLDR: Frankie's jiu jitsu isn't amazing, McGregors jiu jitsu isn't horrible. Frankie won't easily sub him.

i beg to differ, Mcgregor's BJJ sucks for being at this level of the game (UFC). Do i think he will be submitted no, could it happen? yes.

 

[MidgardSerpent]

Frankie has superior grappling and cardio. Tire Conor out, put him on his ass, take the back, and sink in that rnc.

 

[Darth_Inv1ctu5]

Frankie gets a bad wake-up call

 

[Hardkore]

Edgar will sub him

 

[LLD2008]

Cuz he's the answer

Don't get me wrong, it's a definitely real possibility, but i'd definitely bet that Frankie pounds him out rather than subs him.

I think Edgar stuns him standing then finishes him off with GnP

 

[Frothy Milk]

lol no

 

[TheComebackKid]

Because most people on this forum are retarded.

Not to say Frankie can't but I don't think it's likely. If Frankie beats Conor down the way Nate did and has him reeling then maybe. But he's not going to just waltz in there, secure a takedown, and then slap on a sub.

Only if the question is "who's a 5'2 midget"

I think Frankie tires him out easily and does whatever afterwards. Maybe even coasts to a decision. Frankie's a monster with a full skill set and cardio and heart for days. Conor, not so much.

I'm no BBJ blackbelt (more like yellow ), but i trust a guy like Firas Zahabi when he says Conor BBJ ain't that bad, he did well against Holloway and in the first scramble against Diaz.
He didn't do much against Mendes from his back, but i guess early in the fight, in MMA with striking, it's difficult to perform submissions from your back, if you're not really, really good.

He is 5'6, nice try though.

It was a funny joke.

Even Eddie Bravo says McGregor has great jiu jitsu.

 

[snizzar]

I think he'll win a lopsided decision, but if he can tap out Cub Swanson, a legit blackbelt, he can tap out Mac for sure.

 

[steliokontos]

Because McGregor taps faster than Fred Astaire

 

[Chain Saw]

Either Frankie will UD him or Conor will KO him in the first 2.

 

[aashmore]

Because most people think of Nate as a brawler and they forget to realize that he's a legit BJJ black belt.

It's like if you get submitted by Werdum you're a joke and anyone can submit you. What would people say if an all time great tapped out to Werdum? Has that happened?
