There’s a lot that do it if you actually knew wtf you were talking about...
RDA, Cerrone, and even your current MW champ, Robert Whittaker, who even got KO’d by Wonderboy at 170 before moving up.
Next...
Sure did. Imagine that...
Said for years here Conor is nowhere near an elite striker. You can put 10 guys ahead of him, maybe 20+ in just the UFC alone. Don’t even get me started with Glory and K-1...
Not really fair to compare to Glory and such. Just like it was obvious Conor was going to lose to Mayweather because he doesn't understand and practice boxing defense. Fighting with gloves on is soooo much different than with MMA gloves. The defense especially. I'm not necessarily saying you are wrong, we don't know though. Look at Gokhan Saki and Wonderboy. Both gout outstruck. And they were elite strikers
Also to Enfuegos point. He wasn't necessarily outstuck even though he had a little more success on the feet. His success was due to Conor having to worry about multiple attacks.If this was a straigh fight on the feet with no takedowns Khabib loses 99% of the time
Umm no...I brought it up bc it’s been said elite striker anywhere, that’s how the Mayweather bout came about...
Tell us again how Tony Fergie was gonna do too? Like I stated, you posted the exact opposite of what Tony is and does as a fighter. You didn’t respond. It’d probably be best to take that road again too...
I was wrong about him coming forward. Not the wrestling part. He wrestles when he sees an opportunity. He doesn't fight like Cain or Khabib where it istruly striking to get to grappling I remember Tony using more space and movement than just walking forward. He does a bit. But I was a bit wrong on how aggressive he is.
People said Conor was elite in MMA. They wanted to see how he would do in boxing still different. You want to give credit to strikers in purely striking sport but not the negatives when they get beat down striking in MMA. Can't have it both ways. By your logic the got their ass beat in striking, so they shouldn't have had success in purely striking sports. That is basically how you Are approaching Conors striking
Well no shit! At least you didn’t go the Anotherday route...
No I’m not, at all...
Conor, his camp, tons of people have said Conor is an elite striker, outside MMA even. It’s not like I’m coming up with shit or approaching anything. I think it’s pretty obvious I grasp MMA and all of combat sports way better than you, and most, actually...
Tony is the poster child for an aggressive fighter, and he’s a past wrestler to boot. You just didn’t and don’t know wtf you’re talking about...
Enjoy my plays...
I think they both are overrated...
I mean just in general Matt.
I don't have a favorite fighter & even lost some interest in UFC until this fight.
But something about Khabib came across wrong with me leading up to this match.
I think his antics after the fight proved those suspicions accurate.
I dislike Conor, everything about him down to his team and fighting style. He's a highly overpaid douchebag. Always has been...
UFC isn't my favorite fight organization. Far from it, actually. Support local and regional MMA. Learn what martial arts are truly about. UFC is a terrible display of it...
I like Khabib. I like his fighting style, although I'll admit it's not as entertaining as most want, but this is a fight, and I'll take a grinder all day. I know and respect what it takes to be one...
As for Khabib's post fight antics, it's why I'm totally against anyone leaving the ring after a fight. Minimum 45 day suspension on any shows I work. Conor and numerous fighters are guilty of it. I also think it shouldn't take away from what all Conor has done, and the UFC is guilty for promoting this fight with the Bus incident. I mean hell, they even made it as the background for the posters and tv commercials. Also think what his crew did in the ring is way worse than what Khabib did outside. Conor's just as guilty and he knows it, that's why charges weren't filed...I agree with what Khabib said post fight...
Dana White and UFC are just as guilty. They're promoting a garbage product, but hey, this shit sells these days. Think it's sad how they handle everything, honestly, and the fighters are treated and paid like garbage for what they endure. I really like what PFL and Bellator are doing these days, minus this DAZN BS Bellator is going to...
Walk into a local Alliance BJJ affiliated gym, you won't see this nonsense. Hell, walk into any gym that understands and upholds the martial way, and you won't see this garbage, nor will you see it at local and regional shows, besides the occassional bad apple, of course. I'll meet you there...
It was a joke. I've said it before, but I do and have always thought Conor is overrated. Carry on...
