Is Conor Anthony McGregor fast?

[Final Say]

He's quick in short bursts, very snappy. He's not a fast person overall. This is probably why you characterize him as 'deceptively' fast.

His hands seem spring loaded on the counter

 

[ColombianFist]

He's fast enough for his style, he relies more on accuracy, reach and timing.

 

[West Linn]

This kinda puzzles me because if you look at his movements they don't seem that fast, but then sometimes you have to watch wtf happened in slow-mo because it happened so fast (especially with Aldo and when he dropped Alvarez the first time), he's like deceptively fast or something. Is it just great timing that gives that illusion? or like his hands are fast but not his movements? wtf am I saying? I dunno but it's weird.
Like if I watch The Menace fight I can tell right away that he's fast, but with McGregor it isn't obvious that he's fast, am I making sense?

 

[West Linn]

faster than light

fire isn't light. bro, do you even physics?

 

[The Merchant]

Conor has fast feet and lures you into premeditated scenarios in which he knows what's he's going to do, so everything is non-cognitive and that much faster.

I watched a stream of the mayweather fight and Ray Leonard comments on how fast his feet are. As in surprised how good his footwork is.

Id smoke him in the 40 yard dash

He's a C level athlete at best

But would you give up your 20$ a day cheeto habbit in order to do the training?

 

[Ancient Warrior]

He's got great hand speed for MMA. He moves kinda like a spider monkey, he bounces around and judges distance really well.

It’s a good thing you said MMA....

I have a degree in bro science. I know these things

Lmfao

What the fuck was he trying there?

Embarrassing.

 

[BoD 2.0]

He has great positioning, timing and reflexes. His handspeed isn’t that impressive. But his other attributes allow him to appear faster than he is.

It’s like when Marquez fought Pacquiao all those times. He was able to beat Pac to the punch many times because of positioning, and timing. But Pac has much faster actual handspeed.

Yeah that gif alone shows the difference in IQ, discipline, footwork, reaction time and speed between the two. Lol

 

[daltonames]

Unless he's your son, it's super weird to be calling him by his full name like that. Get some help.

Can you be premeditated and non-cognitive in the same scenario bro?

Although I think I know what your saying... He polishes his possible combinations so that his decision making flows more quickly than most.

dude is a gifted striker.

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

He's great at lulling guys in to a certain rhythm and then breaking cadence and altering his rhythm. This is basic boxing stuff, but most MMA fighters learned boxing at Teh UFC Gymz from a quiet little hillbilly from the back arse of no where. This is why even great MMA boxers, like Nick Diaz, get crushed by low-mid level boxers, while Conor can atleast hold his own against guys like Paulie (by Paulie's own admission).

 

[Bluntforce420]

No training required

He's a C level athlete and I'm a sherdog brown belt. He doesn't stand a chance

 

[Mysterio]

By MMA standards he's fast as hell. Let's give credit where it's due.

 

[ThePatriot]

Lmfao

Embarrassing.

Thats the same shot he (Conor Anthony McGregor) used to take down pauley

 

[TUFNewb]

He is very fast.

Who has faster hands at LW?

 

[ErenJaeger_]

i'd say so

 

[MadHouse]

by mma standards yes
