You're having trouble separating "better striking" from "more varied striking attack".
They're not synonymous.

I'll bet you. Unless of course you are afraid of the Bob Sapp of SN betsScreen name bet that if Conor wins the fight by KO/TKO that it's with his arms?
Thanks. I enjoyed that.Good breakdown on how diverse and effective Conor's kicking game is here.
Conor McGregor Technical Breakdown: Part 2, Kicking
It is not that Conor’s kicks are not strong, just that his objective is accuracy, not brute power. This prevents him from kicking by utilizing his full hip-force. For example, Conor does not kick with reckless abandon like Edson Barboza or Justin Gaethje.
On the other hand, McGregor employs a variety of kicks, originating from karate, taekwondo and other disciplines. His kicking game is effective in that it enables him to control the distance and set up his rhythm. His kicks, like Nate Diaz’s punches, have a cumulative effect and can wear opponents down.
Learning is enjoyable if you're willing to put the time in.Thanks. I enjoyed that.
Definitely not what I took away from that poorly constructed article.Learning is enjoyable if you're willing to put the time in.

Dick punch time...Facts can be unpleasant at times.
I am shocked...positively shocked by the outcome of this fight!If Cowboy uses his brains and not his degree from Don Frye's School of Playing to Your Opponent's Strengths, he can take Conor down and submit him. My guess is that, as an honored alum of Don's school, he will stand with Conor, not move his head much (as usual) and get absolutely and spectacularly KTFO
: (
It looked like the former.Is it going to be through a vast display of striking skill, or is he going to go out and throw hands like a boxer?
Proof that Conor hits harder than Silva.
I'm not sure how anyone could possibly pick Conor if you're looking at the fight objectively. Cowboy is a better striker and grappler than Conor.

I'll say the same thing about this fight that I said before the first time Conor fought Diaz. There are 3 ways to win a fight. Sub, KO/TKO, Decison. 2 of those 3 outcomes are more likely to land for Cowboy should they come to pass and a KO/TKO is pretty much a toss up.
Weebay for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Me watching last night's fight:
Just kidding, you guys actually stayed up to watch that trash?
was disappointing fo sureMe watching last night's fight:

I'm honestly never surprised when John Kavanagh comes up with a stellar gameplan. They made sure some of Conor's deficiencies were addressed and he ended up looking fantastic. Great performance, hats off to Conor.was disappointing fo sure
second strike(knee) put donald on chill mode
I didn't see enough to know much about a gameplan or deficiencies being addressed. Did see Cowboy got caught and crumbled as predicted.I'm honestly never surprised when John Kavanagh comes up with a stellar gameplan.
