How many of these Mendes vs Conor threads are we gonna get? For fuck sake.
He got choked out by a ceaser gracie black belt with most submission wins in the ufc behind royce gracie.......If getting choked out by a journeyman is getting better than before, then I don't know what to tell you, kid.
I presented facts that all your guys are not even in the top 5 except one of them and all Conor's are. You got owend but can't admit it, grow up kiddo.Johnson is a no name? Barboza? Tavares? Tibau? Sorry, Khabib didn't fight a no camp Mendes or an "elite level" Siver. Pop that Conor realdoll rubber cock out your mouth for a second and go look at facts dipshit.
Funny how selective you memory is. Most of Khabib's last 10 fighters were all top level competition AT THE TIME they fought so I don't know what the fuck you're on about, Conor fought Siver who's literally a nobody to get a shot at Aldo who he starched with a lucky punch. Then he fought Diaz a journeyman career fringe top 10 twice and arguably lost both times and was squeezed in to fight Alvarez who's just as overhyped as he is. Also it's funny someone who uses "owned" calling me "kiddo". Grow up.I presented facts that all your guys are not even in the top 5 except one of them and all Conor's are.

Could you imagine how Khabib vs Mendes would go down LoL, Mendes would get big bro’d in there
Considering how rarely Conor fights and choosy he is on opponents there isn't alot to go on. There's the Aldo fight which was quick and we didn't see anything. The Diaz fights of course, Alvarez and Mendes. That's it Siver was a mismatch and the Holloway and Poirer fights were so long ago I doubt they're relevant at all for all of them.lol Says a lot when the only thing to give Khabib fans hope is a fight three years ago that Conor managed to finish in two rounds.
Who cares how easily or how often Mendes took McGregor down when he still got knocked out in under three rounds like most everyone else?
Two reasons.
1) McGregor tore his ACL a couple weeks before the fight. For all you tubby lards, this is as serious knee injury as it gets, you lose all stability on that knee. Generally takes 12 months of proper rehab and training and it never really is the same. This is a significant factor in why mendes could take conor down.
2) This one is very important. McGregors game has changed quite a bit since that fight, he is nowhere near the same fighter and has completely refined his game (cheers diaz).
Output has decreased quite a bit, no more balls to the wall with a variety of strikes, he picks shots and uses the same ones over and over and throws a spin kick sparingly. Conors abiltiy to adapt to his strengths has been remarkable and his TDD has improved by a mile as proven in the alvarez fight (Inb4 retard haters bring up Diaz fight while not realising conors style has also changed afterthe diaz fights, now adding COMBOS to his crisp punches as well).
Conor is going to crack khabib with his superior striking and its gonna get nasty early. Khabib may survive but given how rudimentary his standup is khabib will likely panic and shoot from the hip.
TLDR
Healthy, refined game conor is nowhere near the same fighter as he was against Mendes and drawing conclusions from that fight is STUPID
"Smash" lmao. Guy is a definition of boring decision machine who looks helpless on feet. Conor picks him apart and knocks him out cold.

Mendes has 100% TDD, is an All-American who has never been outgrappled in MMA, and beat the extremely highly decorated Jeff Glover by submission in submission grappling. People have been downplaying the shit out of Mendes' grappling since Conor/Khabib was announced. Wonder why that is?
If Mendes fought Khabib it would probably more look like the Tibau fight. Except unlike Tibau Mendes is a great striker with big power.
Yea, because short notice Mendes gassed after the first round. Khabib doesn't gas.lol Says a lot when the only thing to give Khabib fans hope is a fight three years ago that Conor managed to finish in two rounds.

Man, I really love you Conor fans completely overlooking Khabib. Gonna be fun to watch.
