    Yeah ok guy, learning and defending against six of more disciplines is easier than one. Give it up for F**K sakes.

    You're right but that doesn't change what I said.

    You don't need to be the most skilled.. You have to have A SKILL. Connor has no skill in a boxing ring whatsoever. Again.. FARCE OF A FIGHT.

    He's not a pressure fighter.. So why would he do that? He's known as a counter puncher in the MMA world lol. Making stuff up to pump this FARCE up

    The fact that conor never extended his hand does not mean it was not a push. You're thinking that people are claiming that Conor pushed Paulie forward. The people including myself who are claiming a push are saying he pushed Paulie's head down. Watch the slow-mo. To me it clearly looks like Conor having his hand on Paulie's head was the cause of him falling down, not the impact of the left punch, and Paulie was falling down before the right uppercut, which makes the right uppercut irrelevant.

    To be fair, it's not very smart or easy to pressure in UFC. Conor isn't especially good on the ground, and when you pressure, you open yourself up for a takedown. So it's better for Conor to sit back and counter his opponent.

    I predict Conor is going to pressure Mayweather. It might not work, because like you correctly stated, he is a counter puncher. But I think he knows his best shot is to get in Mayweather's grill and try his hardest to fluster him.

    So if you agree that the cause of the KD was Conor pushing his head to the left side while his glove was on his head. The punches prior are absolutely irrelevant. After first right punch you claim that landed which is not visible unless you've seen it from a different angle, the left hand does not look clean at all. Again watch it in slow-mo. I try to see it as a KD but besides the first time I've seen it, I only see Conor throwing the left which does land on the back of his head, and from there he keeps his glove on the back of the head and pushes Paulie to the right side.

    0:20 is where you claimed the right hand landed correct? That punch definitely did not land. You can slow down youtube videos. Click on the wheel icon on the video, and slow it down to 0.25. You can see Paulie clearly deflects the right hand. I'm really trying to see things through your eyes, but there's no way that punch landed. Look at where Conor's gloves are after he throws the right hand, it was positioned there because of Paulie's deflection.

    Does Paulie know how to fight a southpaw? (Rhetorical, I know) McCracker has his hands low and open for a straight right... and Paulie just stands like a statue... and gets hit with a straight left that McCracker Telegraphs!

    Mayweather is going to have a field day.

    I think Paulie claimed that the tape was edited to make him look bad and McCracker good.

    The "Magic Man" doesn't throw one meaningful punch in that video.

    Not even a jab.

    What's up?

    Whether it landed or not is irrelevant. The clip is interesting because of how good McGregor looked in the moment leading up to the "knockdown". Conor looked like he was in command and that's what's important.

    Highly doubt if he fought horn the numbers would have been much different. May only did 300k buys in his "retirement" fight. FIght before with pacquiao did 4.6 million. Floyd only sells a lot of fights when people think he might lose. May is boring as **** to watch.

    You answered your own question.

    Footage was edited.

    Paulie did not land a punch.

    There is a reason why it is only 20 seconds long.
