Shyt is crazy like do these dudes even study him

I'm sure they do but can they outpace their own tendencies. Conor boxes bigger than he is. Also, he does real boxing, not MMA boxing. Once he knows that you are not going to be able to take him to the ground, he knows its murking season standing up.

Nice win Conor, watched da fight live and now watched it a 2nd time. 2ndntime I was really jus focusing in on Eddie. You can really see how 1 moment he's trying 2 follow da game plan n then nxt moment he's swinging wild 3rd and 4th strikes, jus wire and wild and conor jus sitting back waiting to counter.

It really looked like Eddie was fighting himself tryin 2 follow gm plan but the color kind fukk and mental gms jus wanting him 2 swing 4 fences n knock em and Conor jus was jus right place right time with pin pot precision and timing.

1 thing about Conor I haven't seen a fighter follow his game plan n listen 2 his coaches as much as him since da early days of Greg Jackson fighters. Da 1 time Conor got bit and followed his adrenaline n heart was Diaz 1.

Props out to Dana, Conor and his coaching management team they know how 2 bait and select da perfect fighters to face Conor's style.

I've been lookin back at da posts n see every1 mention Conor vs Khabib and who wld win.

Main question is this why wld Conor or ufc set up dis match. Khabib has no belts, casual fans don't know em and it's a fight Conor cld lose. U gotta put Conor vs smaller 155lb's or guys wit no strong wrestling gm so that it's not a ground n pound warm but a stand up exciting match for fans and better chance of Conor hitting dem counters.

Khabib has a huge fanbase tho

The dualities in their game. We know what khabib would do to conor if he can get a hold of him, but can he get ahold of him without getting picked apart on the feet

A fight with him or ferg would be dope. I feel theyre gonna book khabib and ferg while conor sits. Damn that would be etherous to both if that happens, just to have conor comeback to fight diaz

:wow:

:wow:

He only has a fan base wit hardcore mma fans. Casual fans have no idea who he is or cn even pick him out in a line up. Hence why he is on da undercard.

meh i think Conor is over the Diaz thing, he has moved on and has achieved everything he said he would. there;s no real hype for a 3rd Diaz fight anyway IMO i think he will take some time off, 6 months or so, wait for a Khabib/Cucuy fight and see who the winner is from that. he deserves a break
