Wonderboy gave mcgregor the blueprint

[Edsonbarboza1]

to beat diaz right there...



Stick and move for 5rds and win a decision,


If conors ego allows it,thats how it goes down.

 

[RyanRAW]

Diaz responds by picking him apart with straight punches. Eventually Conor winds himself from running into punches before becoming a strangled panic wrestler again.

 

[conorbless1]

Now all Conor has to do is learn how to fight like Wonderboy.

 

[FedorGOAT]

Conor doesn't have the Cardio & conditioning & he also isn't as athletic as Wonderboy.

And the Striking wise, I think Wonderboy is lightyears ahed of Conor , So what he can't do doesn't mean Conor can do it too.

And last Takedown Defense.

 

[bad_k]

wonderboy's style only works if you are the taller fighter with a longer reach,,,,

 

[Gabe]

Too bad Conor isn't as good of a striker as Wonderboy.

 

[Dragonseeker]

Too bad Conor doesn't move like that.

 

[Edsonbarboza1]

Conor is a better boxer than wonderboy he could easily do that pt scoring for 5 rds like WB did.

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

Rory was hesitant to engage, for fear of being countered. Diaz brings volume.

Conor is a better boxer than wonderboy he could easily do that pt scoring for 5 rds like WB did.

 

[ElCasca]

Anderson Silva gave all the champions the blueprint how to reign in your division
Just have his reflexes and precision and be a counter striker

How come no one did this so far?

You think Conor has that kind of skill set or discipline to execute that game plan? Come on, that's pretty crazy. Also, Rory and Nate couldn't be more different.

 

[Nihilism]

The Natural Born Runner would run through him.

 

[Shoot Boxe Hero]

But can Conor go 5 rounds? Thomson has had 71 combined mma and kickboxing fights, he has had long drawn out fights before and has good cardio. Conor has been to 1 decision and it isn't like Nate is just going to stand there and wait and we know Nate has amazing cardio

 

[GusLost]

BOXING... LIKE WITH YOUR FISTS

 

[Megalodon]

Conor doesn't have the cardio to last 5 rounds with Nate, never mind actually win the decision.

 

[johncola]

Nonsense. Diaz has reach on McGregor. Wonderboy has a much better kicking game than Conor. Diaz has much better boxing than Rory.

Styles are way too different all-around

 

[tnsinga]

Hmmmm one of the worst things you can possibly do against a long AF volume boxer - that generates most of his power when leaning on his front foot (like Nate) is hang back and let him fight on the front foot. Also Conor's strength in his striking is from the pressure he applies. To try and imitate a WB like style which has been constructed through years and years of practice is not a great idea

 

[Jonesingforafight]

Conor is not Wonderboy, nimrod.

 

[heavyarms21]

Remember when Rory Macdonald rag dolled Nate and basically sent him back to LW ? I do . The fight with Conor was Nate's first fight at WW since 2011 and he did that with no camp. I just think it's funny that Conor thought he could conquer 3 divisions. Hell I don't think he can beat RDA , look how great Dos Anjos looked against Cowboy and Diaz .
