Conor did try to strike while being grappled, and he wasn't able to generate any power between having no base and having to hit 6 inches away from him with his long arms.

david carmichael posted:Up until the second diaz fight i dont think conor did a lot of opponent specific training. I think he just did more general skill stuff with the idea that hed be ready to fight anyobe anytime. Tbh i think thats a good mindset at lower levels that might be true too. he exploited a lot of guys’ habits really well but otoh i guess when you’ve got cheat reach and big power (at 145) it gives you a lot of options in a fight.

Joe Rogan told me that José Aldo gave up a football/soccer career to get peanuts and brain damage in the UFC in comparison and I believe him

The only person I've ever seen knock out someone from the bottom was when Uriah Hall was on TUF and he KOed some aussie or kiwi from guard.

There was that guy this year in UFC who hammerfisted a dude to a KO win from bottom. Forget their names but it was an undercard fight if I recall.

That was awesome, Niko Price was the guy doing it, I forget the victim off the top of my head. I think it may have been a DWTNCS alum.

evobatman posted:This is probably a dumb question and I think I might even have asked it before. It's really hard to generate power from that position so usually you just end up annoying the guy while getting taken down even quicker. There's obviously a few guys who have had success with it. Aside from the already mentioned stuff, Browne/Barnett comes to mind. But yeah, in general it's not a super successful strategy.

Also Bisping wasn't getting KO damage on GSP, but his elbows from bottom were pretty strong and were doing some serious damage in their fight.

Still amazing that Herb was so shocked he got knocked out from punches on top that he didn't even realize the guy was out until four or five more punches landed Then again lately Herb just wants to see people die so it's a coin flip on which scenario

I don't like calling ppl out but whoever said conor doesn't train for his opponents lol EVERYONE in the top 10 of each div trains for their opponents ffs, it's literally how punchsports works, that's what the whole 'everyone gotta plan' quote et al. is about, why mma math and p4p is dumb as hell, etc. That was a very uneducated comment sorry

My mind is still boggling that SBG's head striking coach wasn't prepared for mayweather to use a high guard and walk Conor down instead of relying on philly shell exclusively

Then you're not using your arms to stop him from advancing position and tying up your whole body instead of just your legs. It's a good way to get mounted or crucifixed. I was hoping we'd see Khabib crucifix Conor I don't think he's done it since he scorched the horch

handsome only face posted:NSAC dealing w/ Khabib & Conor https://www.facebook.com/ReviewJournalSports/videos/1907609712665589/ I had no idea the UFC was still withholding Khabib's money. I take it that motion just now was for the UFC to pay the NSAC that money for "safekeeping" pending their ruling

Dana White: All right. Where is the PPV ratings poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both trade fighters, and find out who is right... and who is dead. Chatri Sityodtong: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the ratings poison into his own PPV or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own PPV, because he would know that only a great fool would put a flyweight in an American MMA headlining spot. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the fighter in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the fighter in front of me. Dana White: You've made your decision then? Chatri Sityodtong: Not remotely. Because Ben Askren is a wrestler, as everyone knows, and Wrestlers are notoriously loathed by the stand and bang crowd, and the stand and bang crowd buys MMA ppvs despite the defining aspect of the sport being the addition of grappling to kickboxing, so I can clearly not choose the fighter in front of you. Dana White: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect. Chatri Sityodtong: Wait till I get going! Now, where was I? Dana White: Wrestling. Chatri Sityodtong: Yes, Wrestling. And you must have suspected I would have known of Ben Askrens style, so I can clearly not choose the fighter in front of me. Dana White: You're just stalling now. Chatri Sityodtong: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten Strikeforce, which means you're and exceptional promoter, so you could've put the ratings poison on your own side, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the fighter in front of you. But, you've also bested PRIDE, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that any promotion can fail, so you would have put the ratings poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the fighter in front of me. Dana White: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work. Chatri Sityodtong: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE RATINGS POISON IS! Dana White: Then make your choice. Chatri Sityodtong: I will, and I choose... what in the world can that be? [Sityodtong gestures up and away from the negotiation table. Dana White looks backwards. Sityodtong swaps the fighters contracts] Dana White: What? Where? I don't see anything. Chatri Sityodtong: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. But no matter. [Tries to hold back laughter] Dana White: What's so funny? Chatri Sityodtong: I'll tell you in a minute. First, let's trade fighters. Me for Demtrious Johnson, and you for Ben Askren. [The contracts are signed] Dana White: You guessed wrong. Chatri Sityodtong: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched fighters when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a fight promotion in Russia or the Netherlands" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "NEVER PUT BEN ASKREN IN A PPV HEADLINING SPOT"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha... [Sityodtong stops suddenly, his smile frozen on his face and his PPV buys fall through the floor] Dana White: [Removes blindfold from Reebok's head] You all right? Reebok: And to think, all that time it was your fighter that was ratings poison. Dana White: They were both poison. I spent the last few years building up an immunity by watching Jon Fitch fight.
