I've been following MMA for over a decade and that was one of the best cards I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Fantastic!

"Frankie, what kind of shape are you in?"
"Training every day boss. I could go five rounds tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll call you back."

"Chad, what kind of shape are you in?"
"Now? I'm carrying a little weight, but I could cut it in time to fight Conor."
"You're in buddy!"

Agreed, but his TDD was shit and he was eating huge shots on the ground for a couple minutes.
Both guys looked drained going into this fight. I can't see Conor staying there much longer. He will move up to 155 within the next 2 years.

I think it is also that Frankies top game is better. He has better subs, GNP and control. I don't think, at the moment, if he takes Mcgregor down, that Conor can get back up. On the feet though, Frankie gets slaughtered, and might have a harder time getting him down. He doesn't have that explosive reactive double that Mendes has.

Mendes was gassing towards the end but he looked good up to that point and I was surprised how he was holding his own in the stand up. Conor didn't seem to respect his power though

I agree. It topped 187 for me. Absolute home run for the sport. I hope a lot of people watched.

Conor got cracked by Poirier hard and Poirier came off worse, since they exchanged. He has a chin. Also chin is partly confidence, and honestly, I've never seen anyone as confident, in any walk of life, and that plays in to it. It will take a lot to put him away and could take years. Aldo might beat him on a decision, but he isn't knocking him out.

Except every second of stand up. He was whipping that ass. That's why Mendez went for 700 takedowns.
That's ok Conor is a better striker and? Chad is a better wrestler but he gassed taken a short notice fight. Full camp Chad wins. Wrestlers>strikers
