That’s a good takeConnor has never shown any ability to counter leg kicks and Justin throws those shyt with odd timing and surprising speed. When has Gaetje ever been slept clean with one shot? His only losses were grueling back and forth dog fights. We know Connor folds when his opponent doesn’t go away early so I can’t see him doing what Alvarez/Poirer did. Sloth Diaz was able to destroy him in the clinch in both fights. Gaethje is brutal there. Think about it. Gaethje slumped Cowboy in his last fight why didn’t Connor accept his call out? Connor don’t want those problems
Gaethje takes a ton of damage though and also leans down to his right a lot. And we just saw Conors right roundhouse this fight.
He shells up a lot and blocks his own vision I think McGregor can really do what Porier did to him though. If Gaethje can survive his power I can see him winning in the fourth round though. But that’s a big if.
