They were both good scraps... Now he needs to get his stuff together and fight... whoever. It will be exciting and sell.
They first takedown and its over, the adrenaline dump and already terrible cardio.I can't imagine Conor doing nothing against Khabib , Khabib would destroy Conor at this point ...... i'd dare say Khabib would finish him in the first round.
Still can't believe Conor did that to Mendes with only one knee.
Incredible.
You might want to watch the round again because he got clobbered with punches that put out past opponents. His ridiculous chin saved him.
Chad Mendes was tagging Conor all night, imagine what would happen if a 180 lbs russian monster landed these hands?
I got Khabib by KO
He beat the shit out the body of a guy who was out of shape and unfit to fight. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if chad had a full fight camp he would have been better conditioned to take those shotsPeople always blame Chad's loss on short notice. I'm sure it had something to do with it but Conor beat the shit out of his body
You got brain damageChad Mendes was tagging Conor all night, imagine what would happen if a 180 lbs russian monster landed these hands?
I got Khabib by KO
Conor had few days to train for one of the best wrestler in mma that was also juiced up to the gills and gouging eyes and still gassed him with kicks and kod his ass, fuck outta here you idiotbut in the mendes fight, conor is the one that got outskilled when chad didn't gassed,both on feet and ground.the reason why conor won the mendes fight is the same reason why nate won the first fight.
bullshit, those other fighter don't have the counter punching skills of Conor not even closeThey first takedown and its over, the adrenaline dump and already terrible cardio.
Conor has the same chance khabib last fee challengers have had
Conor ate 2 punches from eddie also, you're a moron that has no understanding of fightingChad Mendes was tagging Conor all night, imagine what would happen if a 180 lbs russian monster landed these hands?

huh dustin poirier?He didn't. Conor never KO's someone moving forwards, he only KOs them going backwards when they run into his punch, that's why going forward without the collision he wasn't able to put out Diaz. It's nothing to do with Diaz' chin, it's a different type of technique.
He was inaccurate, he moved forwards and because he was moving forwards he wasn't able to get the KO - he has never KO'd an opponent taller than him, because his KO's come off of collisions coming in. He was countered with a check hook every step of the way and his wild swings and over extension (head way in front of the knee) wore him out after a round and by using that check hook he forces McGregor to turn, and chase after him further.
That's not absorbing a beating, he got caught as most people would, but its his work in that first round that beat McGregor.
Even in the rematch he wasn't able to KO Diaz and had to adjust his gameplan to leg kicks because of the reach disadvantage.
