nerfbat Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Been a fan of Conor McGregor's for a good while now, saw this short doco a little while back I finally found a link for you guys love it. he truly comes across as a thoughtful Irish Bruce Lee http://vimeo.com/74261745 I guarantee he will be champ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedSpirit Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 The better wrestlers will sort him out mate. He hasn't fought anyone like Gray Maynard yet. Wait and see. He can grapple well, but is he on the level of the top 5 in the world? I think it remains to be seen. Max Holloway is a terrible grappler by Championship standards.

nerfbat Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 was about to post about Connor's most recent fight, forgetting i had this old one here. Valid points there, L.R.S. He did well on the weekend and now looks to be getting a top 5 guy..! his striking and TD defense, is on point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedSpirit Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 He's had some time to improve, but I still think the Blanket style fighters will mess him up. Poor old BJ Penn should retire, or make a serious run at lightweight. I can't see him taking out any top 5 guys now though. Did you hear Struve might have to retire due to some brain irregularity?

nerfbat Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 your very valid point is my most hated part of the scoring system and i agree with you mate. and they probably will sit on him and hump a decision, to my disgust, lol I will say he is very aware of his shortfalls, like Ronda Rousey was considered a one trick pony, but is fast to close those holes in the game. tho, a year or two in wrestling is nothing compared to a Div. 1 wrestler who has done it all his life. but i spose, its why MMA is MMA Agree BJ should have retired a few years back mate, he is a legend and it hurts me so much watching him come back out and fight, much like the Nog's, Crocop, Fedor and co. they were past their prime when the UFC snapped them up and most 'new to MMA' fans, havent seen them at their best.. And Struve is an interesting case mate. he has bloody panic attacks, has a Heart Murmur and something in his head isnt right? going by who you talk to or read.. scary stuff. Either way, i don't think he should be fighting anymore, at the least til the docs give him the 'all clear' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
