Essential The Official MMA Thread

I really think Conor's first/second round power is really high level. When he's fresh he's hurting nikkas. He can also take a punch.

I rewatched the fight I have some things that I'm gon get off my chest on my podcast hope y'all tune in to support

 

[Roman Brady]

I could see the logic in not booking corm/Jones straight away again but to waste Jones/Johnson on a title eliminator is boneheaded. Johnson has done enough to get his no gas tank azz tooled again. Let Jones stay on the schnide and have Cormier call him out after the fight

Yeah.... DC vs Johnson at MSG then if no one is injured possibly turn around and have winner vs jones for nye card I think DC wins again tho Johnson wrestling TDD against DC was not good I know DC is a monster but...

I low key think Connor scared of Aldo. He got lucky with that one shot and now he know Jose would put the beats on him the 2nd bout

I don't like his persona but he's an elite MMA fighter, no questions asked. Even his TDD was quite respectable on Saturday.

I think he made the right adjustments, Nate didn't and that was the big difference. Now if Nate is smart next fight he will make the adjustments and Conor will be in trouble because Nate would be unpredictable. Nate knows his weakness is leg kicks he shoulda done a better job with those and he didn't counter the left Conor was throwing with his check right like the first fight. Conor stuff the TD's but Nate isn't a wrestler.

Respectable? I'd say it was elite level. He was stuffin nate and winning in the clinch

Nate doesn't have great takedowns. If he was doing that against a guy like Edgar or Mendes then we can talk

I'm talking technique tho....and he was stuffin a lot when he was already tired. It was pretty impressive imo

Oh no doubt. That's the biggest thing I took from Saturday, Conor is incredibly resilient

Saw this one coming. After he lost to Wonderboy and Lawler back to back, not a lot of options for him at WW and he was gonna get a big offer from Bellator
