I think what people are referring to is the "if he touches you, youre done" narrative that was pushed leading up to the Floyd fight. Connor hits hard, I don't think anyone denies that he has the ability to knock people out, but a lot of his success is due to a combination of accuracy, speed...

What supports this view? There are tons of guys in MMA with world class striking and pretty damn good TDD and submission defense. Learning take down defense "along the way" will not keep you from getting taken down by someone like Khabib. Abel Trujillo is a lifelong wrestler, HS state champion...

What about RNCs? Why do the majority of fighters tap to rear naked chokes? Heartless losers.

You are basing that on what? The lack of research that have been done on the brains of deceased fighters in a sport that is relatively young? You are absolutely out of your mind if you buy that bullshit. These guys get punched in the head for a living, they are fucking their brains up every day.

Number 1 is the craziest thing I've ever heard and I am assuming you have never trained. These are world class fighters, some of the best fighters of all time have tapped to strikes (as well as RNCs, which I'm assuming you would also take as meaning they have no heart). They don't have heart my...

Which fights? Henderson and Silva were close, but certainly not robberies. Tons of media had both of those for Bisping. Those are the only close ones I can remember other than Hamill (the English judge was actually the only one to score it for Hamill).

I'm not saying GSP can't take him down but Bisping has some of the best defensive wrestling in the history of the middleweight division, and he is used to doing it against guys who are much bigger than GSP. I don't think people are giving Michael's wrestling enough credit.

I think that right now middleweight probably has the best stylistic matchups, but lightweight is a stronger, deeper division for sure. Conor, Khabib, Tony, RDA, Eddie, Barboza, Johnson, Poirier, Nate, Gilbert....You can get into the guys in 20-30 rankings at LW and still find elite, world class...

He lost to Matt Riddle in HS. Do you honestly think that has any significance? Both Jones and Cormier won Junior College national titles. Jones stopped pursuing wrestling after this (though he had big program D1 offers), while Cormier continued through college and into the international scene...

Total? I don't know. Per capita, I would almost guarantee it is Yuma Arizona. Cain, Kelvin Gastelum, Efrain Escudero, Edgar Garcia, Aaron Simpson and former WEC challenger Chance Farrar all come from the same city whose true population is probably 60-70,000 or so (snow birds make up the other...

How exactly would it be a safety issue for his opponent? Your hands are heavier and harder when wrapped, plus your wrists are much more solid.

What do you mean by questionable ground game? Do you mean that they are capable of getting beat by superior grapplers? There are a lot of BJJ black belts in the world and all of them are very skilled grapplers, but 99% of them still get their asses kicked on a regular basis by superior guys...
