Conor’s biggest issue is he lost what made his standup game good. He adopted a boxing heavy style and became heavy on his feet. He use to be light on his feet and use his kicks to create distance and set up strikes and the pace of the fight.

@TheFN19 Жыл бұрын

@bomboclaatpunaniman9387 Жыл бұрын

⁠@@TheFN19definitely because he changed up his style, arguably his best performance was against Eddie at 155 and he looked lightning fast in that fight. He boxed Floyd and fell in love with boxing, thinking that he can bring that back to MMA. After he fought Floyd is when that sparring video came out of Conor using that new high guard, planted feet, boxing heavy style and you see him get hit loads by his sparring partner. It's got barely anything to do with the weight. him light on his feet, unpredictable and pressuring his opponent into running into that straight left is by far the best Conor we've seen and he threw all of that out the window for a style that doesn't seem to work nearly as well

@themarketm8382 Жыл бұрын

Conor torned his ACL towards the end of the second round when he is trying to pass Max's guard. Which explains why he's going for more takedowns than usual in the third round. You can feel during the last minute of the third round that he's not as comfortable on his feet as he shoots for a single leg real quick. Great decision making on the fly whilst suffering from a very painful injury. Fantastic fight between two legends of the sport!

Neither for or against Connor McGregor… but love him or hate him the excitement around his fights was real. Even if he was overhyped like many say, the energy around that man undeniable. Even if you despise the man, hIs rise up the ladder was wild.

Overhyped ???? Aldo Alvarez Mendes Diaz Poirier Cerrone Holloway Mayweather (1st ever professional boxing match against one of the best ever) Just to name a few..... X2 times UFC champ. x2 times Cage warriors champ. ESPN fighter of the year (A few times). Highest PPV's in MMA history PLUS one of the highest PPV's in BOXING history. Overhyped ???? ..... Anyone say that, are casual!!! He isn't the Connor of old, and never will be again, 200 million does that to a person. But when he was on form, between 2013 and 2017 I believe...he was unstoppable.

Just as an FYI for those who may not know, Max was about 22 years old here and Conor was 26 I think, Max was relatively fresh and Conor was entering his prime. Yes, Max's win streak commenced after this fight but I think most fans agree, his prime wouldn't commence until the Cub Swanson fight which took place two years after this. But man you can really see how much Max's style evolved over the years, sucks we never got to see prime Max vs prime Conor.
