    I really enjoyed Connor's desperate look from the canvas.

    As bad as El Cucey has looked in his last two fights he still has a chin. Connor's mandible is showing significant signs of "RJJ syndrome."

    Or was it more like people froze and didn't hit back. When Diaz landed a few Conor crumbled. In the 2nd fight Diaz started to land and Conor start running for his life. Floyd when he decided to actually throw a punch or 2 made him crumble as well.
    He is pretty much an egomaniac with a bully mindset and crumbles like a biscuit when someone stands up to him in a fight.

    I was thinking the same thing. Looks easier than boxing.

    It´s easy to say that, but try focusing on kicking, wrestling and boxing. See how well you master any of those.
    Conor is a decent boxer, but his bread and butter was his counterpunching. He drew the openings and landed clean counters.
    He always struggled a bit when he had to lead the action.
    Last night he was flat footed and got stomped(the moment his leg gave in). No counterpunching.

    isnt that guy like 6'3 240ibs? he should be calling out nganou or someone at his own weight, not these little guys that stand no chance of dealing any real damage to him.

    Those leg kicks that Dustin threw would have destroyed any boxer.

    Yup.
    Before that, McGregor was doing quite well. But as Dustin kept landing, McGregor started missing as he lost balance on that front leg(Conor leans on that front leg and then explodes from that position when attacking).

    This legs kicks was a joke. The whole MMA thing is a joke. Terrible boxer, terrible kickboxer and so on.
    Training some martial arts for few years and thing they are goat. Most of them have fake bio records on training.
    Also the so call "goat" bul.. BJJ. This guys are getting black belts for a year or even less, and they look like a ..... when they try to wrestle/grapple etc.
    I`m yet to see a solid fighter with a solid boxing, good movement, good body/head movement. All are flat footed and have terrible defence.
    They just swinging big and thats it. They focus too much on physical and conditioning training, and their technique is terrible.
    But i digress. What i wanted to say is this kicks and mostly MMA guys that throw leg kicks, they don`t even know how to properly throw it.
    But the biased commentators made it looks, its like some vicious low kick.
    Just look at the guys at K1 and what low kicks they are throwing. Same for Muay Thai tournaments or Kyokushin.
    McGregor resistance is terrible. First it wasn`t that much of low kicks, and second they were nothing special in them. This is what a solid low kicks looks like:

    I mean to eat like 10 low kicks that wasn`t that powerful at all and your leg to crumble, that mean you are in terrible shape. By shape i don`t mean how he look, how he ripped is, but how well really prepared he is.
    I train Kyokushin right now, and in training i throw and eat way more and way vicious low kicks. There are ways to harden your bone and muscle and get prepared properly, and not get your legs crumble in the second round, by 10 so so low kicks.
    I guess McCregor doesn`t know that. ;D
    It also looks like most of the MMA fighters have way too much Yes-man in their corners.

    Dominated? I wouldn’t say dominate but he is a cash cow. He has as many getting chocked or knocked out highlight of himself as he does with his big wins.

    What he is doing is true in any sport. A guy with half the skills but a huge fan base rooting for and against him will always get the spotlight.
