would McGregor vs Ferguson have played out similarly?

[it is what it is]

I'm curios how the fight would of played out if Tony Ferguson had been picked instead of Nate

Probably would have been a quick sub. Ferguson has better takedowns than Nate, hes not as good as Nate on the ground but he is significantly better than Conor on the ground.

 

[High Altitude]

Ferguson would eat Conor up.

 

[Gunsawles]

Ferguson would rape him.

 

[Rum]

No, El Cucuy is much more difficult to hit than Nate.

 

[Estudante]

ferguson is incredibly faster and would instantly put conor on his back

 

[Cat Biscuits]

Conor would've died tonight.

Conor better go back to FW. This isn't the European regional circuit, these UFC LW's are gonna out-muscle him regularly.

Probably. Both Diaz and Ferguson are durable and have good cardio. Diaz is a little better at submissions and Ferguson is a little better on the feet with slightly better takedowns. I'm a Diaz fan but I thought the speed advantage would be too great and I also thought Conor's power would still hold up in the higher weight classes but it didn't.
