Just being picky and I agree with your analysis but I've literally never seen Connor throw a left hook

Damn...prologic really does have prologic. Great stuff man
I bet the blob really is some great big fat person with hemerroids and diabeetus.

Conor's body work against Mendes was absolutely breathtaking
That left hook to the body absolutely crumbled Mendes over
With Conor being infamous for being the greatest defensive based counter-punching wizard in MMA history, people forget Conor is one of the most lethal body punches in MMA too
In the Nate rematch Conor absolutely destroyed Nate's insides with brutal body punching once Nate started to walk Conor down. That's the reason why Nate gassed and was worse off in the championship rounds
@markg171 has also pointed out Conor's body work and how much dividends it paid in the Nate rematch too
People have no clue just how much of Flawless complete Striker Conor is
I watched the Iaquinta fight and Khabib is very acceptable to the body and was biting on all of Iaquinta's level change fients/fients to the body, leaving himself open up top @Mysterio
Conor is gonna suprise and ruin Khabib with body work
People are so fixated on questioning if Conor can KO Khabib to the head. He doesn't have to. When you destroy the body the head falls easier

@Pancake Sprawl
You guys don't know much if you genuinely believe Conor is nothing but a "basic pull counter"
First of all, the ways in which Connor sets up his pull counters are very very highly advanced even by elite boxing standards
I will just name a couple methods of Conor's (there's many more)
1. Via leadhand control to shut down the jab hand and draw out the right hand response
2. Via various forms of distance deception
-Conor leans his head forward to appear as a closer target to Nate's jab hand, naturally drawing out the jab from Nate, Conor pulls back and then counters. Such one fluid motion from Conor in going from his pull instantly to his counter.
3. Via using lateral steps and educated footwork to create angels for his pull counters and line up right hook combos off the pull
Conor takes side step to his left to take an angle, counter with the left from a safer position defensively then right hooks into it off the angle. Again Conor showing off that REAL skill based boxing footwork/angles/IQ/countering skill
It's like saying Floyd is an over rated BASIC boxer, because all he does is land pull counters vs orthodox, and right leads vs southpaws etc
And regardless here is Conor hitting more types of counters
Conor has all kinds of slip counters. He can slip and counter from the inside, outside, pull back etc. In that gif we see Conor hit an inside slip to parry down overhand counter on the much taller Nate while making both of Nate's 1-2 responses miss. Absolutely sublime countering by Conor.
Those were examples showing just how diverse a counter puncher Conor is. Now here are examples showing how complete and diverse Conor is as a whole striker period
When leading how he uses advanced leadhand tactics/ rhythm manipulation tactics to set up combos etc
Just think about how amazing that truly was to do that to Holloway
-Lead hand probe, lead hand probe, condition, switch tempo, then go underneath Holloway's leadhand with a lead leadhand uppercut to a step out to the outside angle to line the left straight down the pipe. Sweet Jesus !
You can blindly name drop all the MMA strikers you know, you wont be able to find me examples of them ever showcasing skill like that against anyone half as credible of a striker as a Holloway (and its just one of hundreds of examples from Conor through out his career)
Conor is also an educated body puncher who has a great clinch game, and clinch striking who flawlessly transitions between from and each like no other
-After Conor jab feints to open up body punching combinations, Conor TIES Nate up and smoothers him. Conor has now KILLED off any possible offence from Nate
-After Conor ties Nate up and stiffles any possible return fire, Conor then breaks away on his terms. Conor then lands beautiful devestating punches on Nate on the breakaway
Conor's striking to grappling to striking to transitional skill/IQ IS impeccable too
Its those body punches from Conor which DRAINED Nate and allowed Conor to dominate most of the championship rounds
Also Conor's educated jab work (which he mixes up with his fienting systems and leadhand game.
Look at how Conor is always changing up the speeds of his jabs, shooting his jab from different positions like down low (uprising jab), and always mixing up his jab with fients and lead hand probes? Now that is TRULY EDUCATED jab work by elite boxing standards. Conor is nearly impossible to ever read or time
It's a shame how under appreciated Conor truly is.
It's remarkable how genuinely special Conor is...he has the footwork of Lomachenko with the lead hand game and countering of Floyd, with the foot speed and left of Pacquioa
Conor is truly a Marvel to watch and study
Yet so many take him for granted and discredit something genuinely legendary in Conor's incredible next level skill sets
Conor is the greatest boxer, counter puncher, striker MMA history has ever seen at a championship level
It's not even debatable
Conor is truly the most wholey skilled, well rounded striker in MMA history. He is elite from all ranges and all positions with all weapons.
When it comes to the full embodiment of who most encompasses pure skill based striking and immaculate fight IQ, there is no one on Conor's level, and it isn't even close
Hating newbs like @The Blob @Mysterio @migeru29 can't appreciate Conor's greatness because they don't know anything about fighting

Nothing he does is elite by boxing standards. Infact his fundamentals are sorely lacking and its part of why he gets picked apart when he gasses.
it's very elite for mma tho where striking is barely above plodding and throwing over hand rights. He's a great MMA striker and has a wealth of natural talent as well as skill that carries him along when things are going his way. He's great at controlling distance and cutting angles and is the only person in MMA who throws feints.
It's clear by the way you describe shit and the terms that you make up that you clearly have no concept of striking beyond watching youtube videos and slobbering on McGs nuts. You should really go hit a boxing gym and attempt to learn about striking before you talk about it with the authority of a trained professional, because the rest of us can see right thru your bullshit and it makes you look like a dork.
Prologic trying to big himself up on his white belt alt account<45>Seek help bro
If Khabib had perfect entries like GSP, Conor would be fucked, but since Khabib usually forces the clinch to start his chain-wrestling, Conor has a decent chance hurting him on the way in and make him scared to engage again.
That being said, if Khabib gets a takedown early, I can see Conor gassing out eventually and quitting to strikes or even a submission.

Errr. I just provided ACTUAL technical analysis with tons of proven examples
I actually backed everything up with facts and gifs etc
While you disregard actual evidence right in front of your face, and respond with nothing but your ignorant shity opinion.
That's not how this works
You CAN'T respond to FACTS with opinion.
Why don't you try actually backing up what you say?
Try actually posting examples. Where is your breakdown? Exactly
You won't ever be able to provide anything because you not only know nothing, reality is reality, and I'm simply on the side of reality
It's up to you whether you want to be educated or not.
If you change your mind and are genuine, then read my breakdown and take the time to truly learn about Conor - and about fighting, by extension
This is the realest quote I've ever heard and it's never been truer

You're delusional. I know who you are too. You're the alternate account of @Soul On Ice
You are an obvious troll who no one likes and you will be banned soon enough
Thank you my brother
Glad you enjoyed it.
I always get posts like yours and that makes me happy to know they are still genuine people who come to sherdog. I do my breakdowns for people like you.
And if even just 1 person becomes more educated as a result, then it's still worth it: )
PS
That's also clearly @Mysterio too. Conor haters truly are a weird disturbed bunch

Your technical analysis was a textbook example of the illusion of knowledge. You clearly have no actual understanding of striking or combat sports and you speak from the perspective of a fanboy who 'educated' himself off of youtube videos. Your "analysis" wasn't worthy of a drawn out counter argument because your lack of pugilistic knowledge is blatant to anyone who's actually trained or competed at even an amateur level. You're the kind of dude who watches DBZ and goes outside and tries to summon a spiritbomb.
*Edit Also just realized you're a huge troll lol nvm
1. Josh Thompson utilised head kicks vs Nate
2. It doesnt matter if Conor was forced to stand with Nate, the fact is, it was a pure stand up fight which Conor dominated, which no one else has ever done vs Nate.
3. The threat of the TD has always been a factor against Nate in the striking. To say that Benson and RDA won the stand up while ignoring the wrestling (the biges factor) is you being disingenuous and ignoring all context. They never tooled Nate on the feet like Conor did.

LOL I think we all have done our fair share of Kamehamehas and transformations.
Newton, Jones, and Brimage are pretty big fans of DBZ too.
There's a reason why you keep deflecting with all these strawmans, and bullshit about making it personal
You cant dispute any of the facts for a reason
You cant actually offer up any of your own counter points because you have nothing
I asked you to provide some proof and ATTEMPT to back up your own shit. What specific issues did you have.
Cite specifics. Stop being gauge and making it all about personal shit
I provided a breakdown. I backed up what I said. I asked you to back up your own shit. And yet again you just responded with your subjective opinion
People reading can see who truly knows their shit, and who the real troll is
I actually back up what I say
I don't want no more of your shitty ignorant subjective opinions
You need to actually start offering legit counter points. No personal stuff. You need to back up what you say with facts like I did and always do.
Other wise you will be ignored
You clearly didn't read my breakdown and you clearly dont what to be educated
Go read all my breakdowns. I've done many on many different fights and fighters
I clearly know my shit. You are projecting on me lol
The fact that only another troll like @Mysterio is liking your posts like the little cheerleader he is, says it all
Khabib newbs really are becoming some of the worst fans I have ever seen in my life
I bet you didn't even know what distance deception was until I broke it down for you
I bet you dont even know the different kinds of jabs or about speed variance or light shots to set up, or about what a leadhand game even is and about
