Mr. Nice! posted:Conor will have also spent a full camp training for a wrestler. He came in and straight up stuffed 3 takedowns and even if he was on bottom for a while in the second he got up each time. Anderson stuffed 5 of 9 takedowns against Chael the first time, no one is saying he didn't get the gently caress wrestled out of him. Statistics like that are kind of useless

Going back and actually reading through the GDT as peopel respond is very funny. A good 5 or 6 people posted that Conor was a loving joke and had nothing for Mendes and that Conor was doing no damage.

Statistics like that are kind of useless There's a huge difference in what Chael did to Anderson and what happened last night. Chael was not only GnPing like crazy, but he was winning the stand up exchanges as well. Chael dominated every second of the fight until he got triangled. Chad did next to nothing with his takedowns and even then only would have won the second via lay and pray. He was getting hit hard from the bottom and lit up on the feet.

Chad was hitting Conor pretty good on the feet, Chad was just getting hit even worse and Conors chin appears to be granite.

Chael dominated every second of the fight until he got triangled. Yeah, but citing 4 of 7 as some evidence that he handled the wrestling is deceptive. He didn't. Chad completed a shot from halfway across the octagon and took him for a ride. He got back up when Chad passed his guard and went for submissions. He absolutely got wrestled badly and ate a shitload of elbows.

CommonShore posted:I didn't have good sound last night - what was the talk there when Conor was throwing Silva-Lutter style elbows, chad complained, and Herb said something? Chad kept raking Conor's eyes on the ground in the first to the point that Herb actually stopped and told Chad between the rounds that he had given him his last warning and would take a point the next time. Conor was looking up and talking to Herb while he was talking poo poo to Mendes as well. Herb was telling Conor that Chad wasn't raking anymore and that he was active enough to keep position. Conor's elbows at one point were no good, and Herb told him to watch them. After a few more better placed one, Chad looked up at Herb who said "those were clean." Herb basically was calling the elbows clean to Mendes as they happened because he kept complaining about them.

Probably as long as people talk about him and his fights and what happened in them also drat if he had a million broken bones and was sick and still fought, imagine how sick he must have been all the times hes pulled out of fights at the last second (top 5 of all time btw).... cripes

For the record I thought Conor would lose but good for him that he didn't & this clearly leads to a better fight than aldo v mendes III.

Bean Fried posted:This is kind of a bad idea since if Mendes wins, you've lost a title contender without gaining one. They have Max Holloway not far off and Aldo vs McGregor immediate rematch would be fine, so would Chad Mendes getting another crack at McGregor or Mendes getting one last shot against Aldo. And then of course Frankie wins and it's a non-issue anyways. Featherweight is good. The hurdle was Conor losing to Mendes. Now that it didn't happen they'll be lined up with interesting fights for the next 2 years.

Because someone asked if Aldo had ever been hurt by strikes, and I was asking because I genuinely couldn't remember the details of a fight where a striker had success against him in the 5th round because the fight was 4 years ago?

Bean Fried posted:This is kind of a bad idea since if Mendes wins, you've lost a title contender without gaining one. So fighters should sit on the shelf? You put mendes/Frankie on there as a co-main in case Aldo pulls out again you have someone with a full camp ready to step in. Belle Isle Tech posted:Yes Chad did next to nothing with the takedown, that gash on Conor's face was because Elbows open people up pretty easily and only really need one to slice someone open. Chad threw some hard shots but they seemed to have little effect on McGregor. The cut wasn't anything that would stop a fight and the hits didn't seem to bother Conor at all.
