Would Cerrone beat Conor?

[Willek]

Assuming it's not for a belt as we know Cerrone's record.

Seems like a bit in the Nate mode as a taller, bigger guy who would handle Conor's power and could submit a rocked Conor on the ground.

Cowboy, round one RNC

 

[B0ZZ]

Cowboy doesn't have the same chin as Nate though

 

[Sonny Qc]

Yes.

If Cerrone fights like he did vs Cote yeah i think so. Mcgregor is super dangerous though. He outBoxed Nate for a couple of minutes.

Cerrone got his ears boxed off vs Nate.

 

[Epicness]

nah


he'd straight up kill him

 

[The guest]

I've always loved that guy. But I just want him to shut his mouth.

He's never been TKO'd due to head strikes though, his TKO losses comes from body shots that he couldn't recover from.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Yeah I think he can beat Conor, good striker and much better with his subs

 

[straight6]

Cerrone (similiar size to diaz) is bigger and taller with good stand up and very solid ground game. Wont be easy fight for Conor at all.

Cerrone only wins low profile fights. As soon as conor talked shit at a presser it would get in Donald's head and he would get "siver'ed"

I'm not sure, he has a height advantage and is a bit heavier but the skill advantage and pressure of Conor McGregor just might make for a fight so uncompetitive it isn't even interesting.

 

[shaffmeister]

Cerrone would sub him

 

[Kelman]

At 155, Conor wins a war.

At 170, Cerrone wins by soul-take.

 

[mmaday4day]

I would bet on Conor. Cerrone loses big fights.

Cerrone couldn't take Conor's power but Conor couldn't take Cerrone's ground game one shot to the liver and Cerrone is pissing kool aid for a week.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Cerrone crumbles from the first body shot Conor lands.

This. Cerrone's chin is iron. He's weak to the body.

 

[Air Lats]

I think Diaz is the tougher fight for Conor. Diaz has the hands to match Conor's and has the 'tough as hammered owl shit' X Factor.

It could go either way but Cerrone by sub rnd 3 would be my pick. Cerrone's kicking game might fail him a bit - Conor is great at distances.

 

[linvillegorge]

The problem with Cerrone against Conor is that I can't ever recall Cerrone fighting well when there's been a lot of shit talk leading up to the fight. He doesn't play that game well. He fights much better when he's laid back and simply treating it as an athletic competition and doesn't get caught up in the emotional BS.
