Beatable as fukk :comeon: we all hate the breh but come on now
even if you think they're on the same level as strikers (which is a stretttttttttttttttttch), one has elite power and the other doesn't

volume that isn't respected is just counters waiting to happen

conor would pick colby apart for free. plus colby is on the way out anyways.... if conor's whole purpose is to spread the money around to all the company guys before getting his head knocked off by real comp again, colby is the next guy on the list

Conor would fold to his pressure
I see Gaethje throwing those naked leg kicks against Conor. His bread and butter

Rewatch Nasrat v Dober from earlier tonight. Throwing those naked leg kicks makes you susceptible to a straight/overhand counter.

Gaethje hasn’t shown the defense to counter that flaw in his game plan and he’s been susceptible to being wobbled and dropped against hard hitters like Porier.

Conor hits too hard for him to really take that gamble early in the fight. I’m not seeing Gaethje winning right now.

the internet
They get “Tune up” fights because you just dont jump in pro and go fighting champions or top competition... even if you had a prestigious amateur career


This could be called a “tuneup” fight but most people think he threw it which makes more sense then him coming in there and trying but doing nothing
how can an underdog throw a fight?

NOBODY expected him to win....
...thats not how fights are thrown.

You dudes need to watch Gaethje vs Michael Johnson for context. Johnson may not be as technical with his strikes/placement but he has fast hands and probably more power. Justin eat his shyt and broke him. He will do the same to Connor. Y’all talking like Connor is Ngannou :mjlol:
