Here's the breakdown 1. Conor has never fought a top level wrestler 2. In the fights he has had, he has not shown any sort of wrestling deficiency. He's pretty much gotten everybody down he wanted to get down, and hit a sweet lateral drop against Brandao, who can grapple a bit. On the ground he's been just as dominant as he has been on the feet. What does this mean when he fights Mendes? Who knows. I doubt he gets effortlessly ragdolled though.

I feel that its hosed up that everyone was demanding Conor prove himself by beating Mendes to prove he's a top fighter, then some cool people here successfully convinced them of a smart opinion that maybe it would be cool to see McGregor fight Aldo, and now its slid to the other side of Mendes being a disappointing fight

Chad also has the Siver advantage of being so short he just walks under Conor's kicks without ducking, truly great fighting genetics.

I won't be surprised if Mendes gets him down. I just don't think he's going to get him down enough to dominate him. From what I've seen he's got good hips and td defense, and the reach advantage he'll have is 8 inches, which is Jon Jones territory.
