I'm no authority on technique but aren't you supposed to turn over your punches, and use your hips?For pennies a day you too can help Ronda find a home.......

Throw the book at this savage
I don't really care if hes the 'best'. He's top 5 most exciting and that's what matters most
I honestly can't say I've ever seen a boring Fedor fight
You don't always have to turn your hands on hooks, matter fact, I prefer to throw mine thumbs-up cuz I feel I get more power out of em....but yeah, she could definitely turn her hips a bit more

Interesting fight since Nathan is a big dude and wouldn't get beat up mentally by McGregor.My issue with a Nate vs Conor is the fact that would Nate take it seriously? Dude has a lot of talent but he likes to play around too much. There is a difference between waiting patiently and what Nate would do if Conor is hurt. I could see Nate trying to mock Conor and that would make mebecause what Conor needs is to get slept and made fun of. Not dance around and lose on a decision.
That's why last time Diaz called him out I got excited. I wanna see how Mcgregors disrespectful 'persona' holds up once hes around someone who actually grew up more like that with people who will back him.
They act like Mcgregors some super shyt talker
hes only ever done that shyt against Brazillians with a language barrier, and country boys that don't act like that.

This psychological warfare people bring up against Conor I think it's overrated.
I'm thinking back to a couple of his last fights I don't think he got into Aldo, Mendes, or Siver's head. I think it affected Dustin tho. I mean Faber had to be around the dude for longer than Aldo and he didn't seem to mind either. Its not just Connor himself that fukks these guys up, its the spectacle itself. I think Connors verbal jabbing, + biggest paycheck of your career, +insane radical Irish Fanbase. Just all that shyt combined takes guys like Mendes and Aldo completely out of their comfort zone.This psychological warfare people bring up against Conor I think it's overrated.
Theres probably a similar effect when facing Ronda but this Connor shyt his last 2 fights have just been on a spectacle scale the UFC has never reached before. Theres no way the weight of it all didnt fukk with Mendes and Aldo, no way

Nah Mendes fought Aldo in Brazil breh way bigger than fighting Conor in America sure it was hyped but Mendes didn't seem shook. I honestly don't think Aldo was shook either. Again it's my opinion and yes UFC has seen this before with Brock and Silva and even Ronda to an extent.

Dude nothing UFC has done was bigger than UFC 189 especially not that Aldo fight. There wasnt even 12k in attendance at that fight, are you kidding me?
This isnt Vitor or Anderson we're talking about, Aldo isnt a draw, ANYWHERE.
Im not even a Mcgregor fan but 189 was special, you could feel the weight of that event through your screen. Plus the fact that Chad was getting half a million for it and it was taken on 2 week notice? I 100% guarantee Chads nerves were all over the place.
Im not saying anybody was "shook" but if you dont think the sheer scale of these Mcgregor fights dont fukk with guys, you're delusional
