Khabib shoots from far distances.
That works on shitty strikers.
Conor is great at side stepping and landing that lethal left hook.
He even did it to Aldo rushing in.
So he can easily do it to a slow Khabib who telegraphs his takedowns.
Haha I know, it's obviously a real thing but you can tell half the nuggets on here read it once and thought that sounds good I'll use that hahahaaChain wrestling... so tired of hearing that about khabib. Like it’s some sort of secret mysterious sambo technique.
It’s the equivalent of he “chains combos together in Boxing.
Slightly above beginner level. Big deal.

Conor's body work against Mendes was absolutely breathtakingHe dominated the fight for every second it was standing outside of one punch. It’s the bodywork that finish that fight. His man was beat up and exhausted because of the bodywork. Chad loses that fight 10 times out of 10. He can’t strike with Conor..
@Pancake Sprawl
You guys don't know much if you genuinely believe Conor is nothing but a "basic pull counter"
First of all, the ways in which Connor sets up his pull counters are very very highly advanced even by elite boxing standards
I will just name a couple methods of Conor's (there's many more)
1. Via leadhand control to shut down the jab hand and draw out the right hand response
2. Via various forms of distance deception
-Conor leans his head forward to appear as a closer target to Nate's jab hand, naturally drawing out the jab from Nate, Conor pulls back and then counters. Such one fluid motion from Conor in going from his pull instantly to his counter.
3. Via using lateral steps and educated footwork to create angels for his pull counters and line up right hook combos off the pull
Conor takes side step to his left to take an angle, counter with the left from a safer position defensively then right hooks into it off the angle. Again Conor showing off that REAL skill based boxing footwork/angles/IQ/countering skill
It's like saying Floyd is an over rated BASIC boxer, because all he does is land pull counters vs orthodox, and right leads vs southpaws etc
And regardless here is Conor hitting more types of counters
Conor has all kinds of slip counters. He can slip and counter from the inside, outside, pull back etc. In that gif we see Conor hit an inside slip to parry down overhand counter on the much taller Nate while making both of Nate's 1-2 responses miss. Absolutely sublime countering by Conor.
Those were examples showing just how diverse a counter puncher Conor is. Now here are examples showing how complete and diverse Conor is as a whole striker period
When leading how he uses advanced leadhand tactics/ rhythm manipulation tactics to set up combos etc
Just think about how amazing that truly was to do that to Holloway
-Lead hand probe, lead hand probe, condition, switch tempo, then go underneath Holloway's leadhand with a lead leadhand uppercut to a step out to the outside angle to line the left straight down the pipe. Sweet Jesus !
You can blindly name drop all the MMA strikers you know, you wont be able to find me examples of them ever showcasing skill like that against anyone half as credible of a striker as a Holloway (and its just one of hundreds of examples from Conor through out his career)
Conor is also an educated body puncher who has a great clinch game, and clinch striking who flawlessly transitions between from and each like no other
-After Conor jab feints to open up body punching combinations, Conor TIES Nate up and smoothers him. Conor has now KILLED off any possible offence from Nate
-After Conor ties Nate up and stiffles any possible return fire, Conor then breaks away on his terms. Conor then lands beautiful devestating punches on Nate on the breakaway
Conor's striking to grappling to striking to transitional skill/IQ IS impeccable too
Its those body punches from Conor which DRAINED Nate and allowed Conor to dominate most of the championship rounds
Also Conor's educated jab work (which he mixes up with his fienting systems and leadhand game.
Look at how Conor is always changing up the speeds of his jabs, shooting his jab from different positions like down low (uprising jab), and always mixing up his jab with fients and lead hand probes? Now that is TRULY EDUCATED jab work by elite boxing standards. Conor is nearly impossible to ever read or time
It's a shame how under appreciated Conor truly is.
It's remarkable how genuinely special Conor is...he has the footwork of Lomachenko with the lead hand game and countering of Floyd, with the foot speed and left of Pacquioa
Conor is truly a Marvel to watch and study
Yet so many take him for granted and discredit something genuinely legendary in Conor's incredible next level skill sets
Conor is the greatest boxer, counter puncher, striker MMA history has ever seen at a championship level
It's not even debatable
Conor is truly the most wholey skilled, well rounded striker in MMA history. He is elite from all ranges and all positions with all weapons.
When it comes to the full embodiment of who most encompasses pure skill based striking and immaculate fight IQ, there is no one on Conor's level, and it isn't even close
Hating newbs like @The Blob @Mysterio @migeru29 can't appreciate Conor's greatness because they don't know anything about fighting

Nothing he does is elite by boxing standards. In fact he sucks and has no fundamentals
You're delusional. I know who you are too. You're the alternate account of @Soul On IcePrologic trying to big himself up on his white belt alt account<45>Seek help bro
Thank you my brotherDamn...prologic really does have prologic. Great stuff man

Errr. I just provided ACTUAL technical analysis with tons of proven examples
I actually backed everything up with facts and gifs etc
While you disregard actual evidence right in front of your face, and respond with nothing but your ignorant shity opinion.
That's not how this works
You CAN'T respond to FACTS with opinion.
Why don't you try actually backing up what you say?
Try actually posting examples. Where is your breakdown? Exactly
You won't ever be able to provide anything because you not only know nothing, reality is reality, and I'm simply on the side of reality
It's up to you whether you want to be educated or not.
If you change your mind and are genuine, then read my breakdown and take the time to truly educate yourself
This is the realest quote I've ever heard and it's never been truer
"The UNeducated eye can not comprehend the brilliance of Conor McGregor"
1. Josh Thompson utilised head kicks vs NateJosh Thomson accomplished that before Conor and by finishing him not dec.
Is not that he wanted to beat him in "his own game" but more like what would Conor do other than fighting standup? Would he use wrestling and grappling to beat him? Come on dude don't lie to yourself. That's Conor and that's it, he didn't have any better option than to go there and barely win the match.
Benson and RDA used wrestling against Nate but during the standup exchanges, they actually won the standup.
You're the kind of dude who watches DBZ and goes outside and tries to summon a spiritbomb.
There's a reason why you keep deflecting with all these strawmans, and bullshit about making it personalYour technical analysis was a textbook example of the illusion of knowledge.
LOL I think we all have done our fair share of Kamehamehas and transformations.
Newton, Jones, and Brimage are pretty big fans of DBZ too.
There's a reason why you keep deflecting with all these strawmans, and bullshit about making it personal
You cant dispute any of the facts for a reason
You cant actually offer up any of your own counter points because you have nothing and no nothing about fighting
I asked you to provide some proof and ATTEMPT to back up your own shit.
And yet again you just responded with your subjective opinion
People reading can see who truly knows their shit, and who the real troll is
I actually back up what I say
I don't want no more of your shitty ignorant subjective opinion s
You need to actually start offering legit counter points. No personal stuff. You need to back up what you say with facts like I did
Other wise you will be blocked
You clearly didn't read my breakdown and you clearly dont what to be educated
Go read all my breakdowns. I've done many on many different fights and fighters
I clearly know my shit. You are projecting your issues on me lol
You are a troll and everyone can see that
The fact that only another troll like @Mysterio is liking your posts like the little cheerleader he is, says it all
You Khabib newbs really ate becoming some of the worst fans I have ever seen
I bet you didn't even know what distance deception was until I broke it down for you
