There's nothing wrong with the weight divisions, the fighters are trying to get the upper hand by starving themselves and fighting at a lower weight class to get the size advantage. Same day weigh ins would kill all this weight cuttingThis. Im relatively new to mma, but find it more exciting than boxing. 1 thing I notice is something needs to be done about weight divisions. McGregor is too big for 155 and 145, but probably too small for the 170lb division. I dont know how u fix it,bit thats just crazy. Khabib walks around at damn near 200lbs and is tryin to fight 155lbers
I guess its important to remember ufc/mma is still young amd growing.
Why does Conor gas so quickly?
- Thread starter Apex
- Start date
NZA
LOL
you are right. mma is still a baby. much is still trial and error. the best practices are not really set. as evidenced by ronda rousey's flame out, there is a lot of stuff that will get exposed as flawed and hyped over time as the talent pool improves.
Really, no punching power?
He doesn't have boxing power becuz he's not a boxer. I didnt see him sit on 1 punch. U sayin he couldnt hirt u if he hit u in the face
Conor seems to be 1 of those people where he would still be underweight for 170 amd too big for 155. They should add another division.
You go in a boxing gym, a real boxing gym, first thing you will notice is a terrible smell worst than anything you ever smelt, then the extreme heat
it is not comfortable to be in a boxing gym
you walk into an mma gym you feel like you are in LA fitness
Boxing training hasn't really changed too much the last 100 years, so there is a system that guarantees results
there is no mma system in place, a specific regime designed to condition the body specifically for the sport
boxing is non stop fast pace explosive movements, mma fighters lift weights like bodybuilders and train cardio like football players, which isn't ideal for combat.
Basketball and Soccor, are really the only sports that could prepare somebody for that type stress
which is Deontay Wilder the heavyweight champion use to be a basketball player before he converted
to boxing, he doesn't even do road work, only swims, but he can go 12
Sergio Martinez started boxing in his early 20's but he was a soccor player, so he was already conditioned
for those fast twitch movements so he made the transition
being conditioned is half the battle in boxing
mma fighters can barely jump rope,
lol this is true. this is what i loved about training boxing. i loved that gritty type of feeling.
i always assumed there were some mma gyms like this too. i guess not.
MMA is very young bro. not only is it young, but its not a "defined" sport. its a variation of different types of sports if u think about it lol. i kinda love that though.
a lot of mma fighters have come out and said that pro wrestling is harder than mma. its probably because of the constant travel + cardiovascular side of wrestling. wrestlers are great when it comes to cardio.
Conor shoulda trained in Ireland. That ufcpi place is too cozy. He didnt trust his surroundings. He clowned Dos Anjos about that
it's his weight cut. your body can only rehydrate so much between the weigh in and fight day.
also in the two fights you referenced he was aggressive early, probably because he knew that was his best chance at winning... which will have consequences later in the fight.

Hyponatremia.....
He was also heavier ....
Poor conditioning....
He was also heavier ....
Poor conditioning....
Running is always the best.
hard for me to believe its poor conditioning because hes a very hard worker
McGregor Fast Conditioning program is done right
he's also overly confident
Take your pick den .....its either or....or a combination of those things
