where we could SEE that Connor was smart enough to land, but not having practiced at that highest level meant even tho he could do all the right things he couldn't get into the positions fast enough to make his IQ count.
mma did had/ does have world champs, oly medalists in different sports. Truth is that many are past prime when they enter into MMA. UFC is not only one mma org of course.
Conor good mma guy, mma doesn't judge ppl like 1 loss = bum etc like modern boxing fans new generation.
