Watching Robbie box dudes up is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Rory didn't want to defend the straight left. Got hit with the same punch countless times and was the one that finished the fight

Thing is, Robbie's jabs are like the average person's power shot

 ridiculous power

Man the entire card last night was easily the best of one of the best in years.

McGregor did his thing last night, but I'm sure things would of have been different if Chad had more time to prepare. Dude was gassed out mid first round.

But one thing I like about McGregor that he is coming forward and leaving it all in the octagon.

Great win for him ...

Leave em all be man. Dudes is either biased (most likely towards boxing) or can't be pleased. There is no reasoning with them types

The main card was one of the better cards in the past several years, perhaps even more

If they really think that low of last night they might as well quit watching the sport if they expect better

Not the tools, the Basic stand up fundamentals.

It's not instinctual, its learned.

tools can't be taught, fundamentals can.
And as a fighter who has to fight more than 75% of your fights on your feet, the least you can do is tuck your chin, move your head, give angles and levels and move laterally instead of straight lines

This.

Last night was cool in terms of the war that was lawler/mcdonald but if i wanna see a bloody brawl and a buncha haymakers ill turn on worldstar. Im tryna see the best of the best. Tacticians. Clinical finishing. Seems like its rarelyyyy there for UFC fighters. Is the pay that bad they cant get better trainig yet? Its been like a decade. Im tired of seeing "contenders" that have glaringggg weaknesses in their games.

Albeit im a casual fan but still. I aee why theyre going the theatrics route theres not too many highly skilled highly talented fighters out there

Bones screwed the pooch. Now they gotta be all in on Connor and hes def gunna be on his back against elite comp.

If you're not going to have good TDD at least be proficient off your back with BJJ

Conor is supposed to be a brown belt. I didn't see anything last night

Nick Diaz is a black belt in BJJ. A lot of good it did against GSP's wrestling. BJJ is a great skill to have but it seems like solid boxing and wrestling are preferable.

It's GSP

Nick has shown many times to be a BJJ practitioner against others. My point was that Conor didn't try to do anything at all to either escape or attack off his back

Conor doesn't have solid wrestling

Just stop watching MMA bro or stick to Worldstar

 you're not going to get much better than last night 
 
Yeah Chad should have never gone for that choke, he could have lay-n-prayed his way to the tittle.

Conor better work on his wrestling, cause Frankie and maybe even Jose gonna be able to put ole boy on his back whenever they feel like
 
that choke chad went for is the signature alpha male guillotine those dudes love to use. urijah has won like 6 fights using that choke. chad almost had it twice.

i am surprised nobody is talking about how huge of an adrenaline dump these dudes must have had in the first seconds of the fight. the build up and anticipation was unfathomable and unlike any fight preceding it. chad looked gassed 20 seconds into the first round.
