Conor McGregor`s training looks like he is preparing for Khabib Nurmagomedov

[Squintz]

So why isn’t this Irish Jabroni defending his belt against Tony like within the next few months?

He’s not injured, he’s training, hasn’t fought in the Octagon for a while now.

Get a fucking room for your circle jerk with the other nuthugger so you can both swing off his sack at the same time.

Khabib won't submit him though. He will beat him up just because he can once he hits the ground. Khabib is a savage

True. Khabib will not actively peruse a sub (nor is Khabib really a finisher on the ground ). This actually does favor Conor. All Conor has to do is defend (easier to learn ground defense then anything else) and stay in the fight until the round ends. Then it's right back to the feet for the next rounx

I disagree, If any of the current LW roster choose to purely stand and trade with Diaz theyll lose imo. His cardio and chin make him v hard to stand and bang with.

Conor dictated the pace of that fight until he got tired.. If you believe that a striker throwing punches will tire more easily than a striker trying to grapple then I don't know what else to say.

just use the mendes game plan

Now ask yourself why Nate was just as tired as Conor, if not more tired in the championship rounds?

You are missing the point completely.. It is not that they were tired.. A Striker will get tired more quickly grappling than we will striking plain and simple.

That's def true. I'm not arguing against that

I'm saying that Conor dropping Khabib or landing, will be draining Khabib just as much if not more so then Conor would be grappling with Khabib

At the end of the day, nothing is more draining then damage

Nothing about being on the ground favors conor.

I'm not one of those thinks this is a gimme fight for khabib at all. But if Khabib does get him down conor's chances diminish significantly. Khabib's top game is punishing and exhausting. Conor will not be the sane in the next round

Contrast to chad, who went for I'll advised subs that allowed Conor to scramble to the feet

I personally think Conor gets striped of the belt. This means Tony and Khabib fight and then Conor eventually gets around to fighting the winner. This way one of the two fighters takes a hit and Conor is the guy in control of the negotiations for Conor's return UFC fight for the LW belt. Plus Conor lets them take the wear and tear while he stays healthy and enjoys his Mayweather money.

"Bu bu Tony and Khabib" is the new "bu but Mendes and Aldo"

So true.

not a nuthugger of anyone but I can appreciate a more thoughtful / technical analysis on a forum where most people are ruled by their biases and emotions.

Here, Conor tossed you something.

This is an mma forum, and Conor no longer fights in mma.

 

[Hairrow]

So true.

Except he is running like a mofo, and there will be "bu buts" unless he defends his belt. Duh.

Only fighters defend belts, and Conor has retired until he conveniently fights Diaz at 165.

 

[Bumblebeef]

There is an even bigger gap in the striking between Conor and Khabib for Khabib to close that Khabib would never close in 10 life times combined

chad mendez that guy is fcn 1,67 m and took conor down... fcn 1,67 m.

barboza is fcn 1,80 m and khabib took him down like nothing man.
