My original argument was Conor didn’t bounce around because he felt he couldn’t counter with enough power AND snuff a fast takedown threat, so he choose to stay more flat footed. (Hoping to invite a takedown and counter hard.)
You showed Aldo getting knockdown from Conor bouncing around , which in my view is irrelevant because Aldo isn’t a crazy takedown threat like Khabib so Conor feels like he can afford to bounce around. A fighter on average, generates more power when planted, hence the term “Sit down on his punches..” used in boxing.
Bouncing around creates opportunities for more offense but you sacrifice power and leave yourself with less reaction time to takedowns. Knocking down Aldo who had his chin wide open doesn’t prove Conor had power, it only proves he had enough power to knockdown someone who literally rushed in with his chin in the air.
