The thing people neglect about the Mendes fight is that Conor was training for a guy with an entirely different style (Aldo) until two weeks before the fight.
Yes, Conor was fresher and better-conditioned, but what do you think was his strategy going into that fight:
A) Drill TD defense for two straight weeks and hope it's enough
or
B) Let the wrestler take you down, work on your strikes from guard, and tire the less-conditioned guy out?
Which ones? Frankie? Frankie had the chance to fight Conor at 196 and turned it down.
Who else? He isn't a D1 wrestler, but Khabib? Khabib has never been in contention (bc of injuries/tiramisu) until now.
FWIW, I think Khabib is gonna smash Ferguson, so we should get to see very soon how Conor does against a guy with D1-level wrestling.
@conor mcgregor nut hugger - i would have been happy if he fought Lamas.
And i don't hate on him for using a smart strategy against less-prepared opponent. Please acknowledge that Conor had a conditioning edge in that fight which he would not have enjoyed otherwise, and that conditioning edge was significant in his victory.

Might just because I can't stand the paper champ, but I don't think so, Frankie wouldn't have stood long with Conor and would have easily taken him down, for which no way in hell Conor gets back up.
For real?
Probably right. Frankie had to play it safe with Ortega, or risk getting submitted. No risk of that from McGregor.
the next guy will be Nate, again.
I'll watch any Conor fight. I'll watch any Nate fight. Too bad they don't fight too often these days.
Should be fun for sure. I think Blessed is on a different level then T City
at this point right now though. The super cool thing is we are gonna find out!
Yep I don't think Conor would have had the same chances as T City
Frankie's game plan woulda been to wrassle fuck Conor and beat
his head in on the ground from the jump.
He simply couldnt execute that kinda agressive wrassle plan
with T City's jitz
as real as it gets. I rolled with him a couple times when he was a brown belt.
He's the Man of Million Set-Ups, and his style is fluid and relaxed like Ryron, but 'sticky' like Rener.
Wrestling and cardio would have been a big advantage on Frankie's side.
