You mean conor is the most overated fighter ever beating midgets is his claim to fame
It's possible Conor could knock him out early if he lands his power shots. If he doesn't, it's going to be a long night for him and Ferguson will tap him.
You'd think Ferguson and his team would know that too and be more defense minded early. Tony can defend kicks and has a kicking game himself. Unlike Diaz who can't do either.
If Tony fights defensively, Conor wouldn’t gas. Conor doesn’t gas for no reason. He’s gassed when he is overly aggressive or taken big shots. Tony can’t just sit back and wait for Conor to gas just because the clock is ticking.
Conor will fight whoever gets him the most PPV buys.
Um no. You can't avoid the interim champ if you're the champ also. You would literally have to vacate the belt on grounds of not fighting your mandatory.
He gasses even when he conserves his energy, and doesn't throw all power shots, and paces himself.
Ex. Nate rematch.
If Tony is such an easy fight for Conor, then he should have no problem agreeing to the fight.
true about hittable but maybe he can pull off a sub?
Conor's groupies and haters will buy his fights no matter who he fights. This is hardly an excuse for Conor not to fight anybody, well, unless he's shook.$$$$$ Talks. Real contenders wait. Unfortunately, that’s the new UFC.
Good, then put your house on Conor when (IF) they fight.
Wasn’t on wobbly legs??Nah, Conor got banged up at the end but he wasn’t even knocked down nor on wobbly legs. He was done, not arguing that, but his chin is no worse for the wear. He never took that one huge shot.
According to Compu Strike numbers, Nick landed over 50 strikes in round 2 and nearly 80 strikes in round 3. They beat the shit out of each other the whole fight. What was supposed to be conservative and defensive still wound up being very active and damaging.
Of course Conor would be favoured in that fight but you have to be dumb to count Tony out. Tony have better chin and striking then Diaz and just as good cardio. If Conor gas out his a dead man Tony is not going to just flip him the bird while Conor run around the cage his going to chase Conor down and tap him out.
Just regarding the chin comparison Nate Diaz have been dropped many times before even stopped yet he still took Conor's shot and kept coming so there is good likely Tony will be able to take those shots.
