Without big draws like McGregor, Dana and the UFC wouldn't make the money that they do. Yep I agree to an extent. I know it is scripted but it's totally different with someone like Vince mcmahon in wwe as the wrestlers know who is boss there. imagine someone like John Cena turned up very late for a press conference? he would ruin them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'm hardly an expert but seems to me that no one at Featherweight/ Lightweight stands a chance against McGregor if your plan is to just stand in front of him, McGregor has too much power, reach and size over these guys.

The_Rev Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 He's a frighteningly accurate puncher too. His stats aren't mind blowing but when he throws the big combos everything seems to connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted November 13, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2016 McGregor has very good standup and a natural size advantage over many, and anyone that can't neutralise that is in trouble. His flaw is his ground game, as it's always been, which makes him beatable. But he could take a leaf from Jon Jones's book and learn to never get taken down using his size advantage. I'd hoped Alvarez might do more as I like to see hype derailed, but fair play McGregor wasn't losing that fight. Nurmagedov might be an interesting fight, as he's pretty damn good at everything, and his record speaks for itself. Made Johnson look silly. I suspect it'll never happen though.

Chindie Posted November 13, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2016 Also absolutely delighted to see that happen to Weidman. Even if it came from a drug test failure waiting happen, Weidman is exceptionally unlikable with the faux humble schtick that he can't even manage to maintain very well.

AVFCDAN Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Far too good from McGregor there. Bookies got the odds horribly wrong more or less making it an even fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 13, 2016 Moderator Share Posted November 13, 2016 That makes me wonder how on earth Alvarez was ever a champion. He looked like one of the journeymen they give you to start off your professional career with a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Both fighters are 5ft 9, my arse. No way is Alvarez the same height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked like one of the journeymen they give you to start off your professional career with a win. Hes a decent fighter. He's not an elite level guy, and got the belt in a completely unexpected victory over Dos Anjos, which followed a couple of other unfancied victories where he was able to pressure fighters unused to it, take shots and swarm them. He ultimately couldn't do that to McGregor, and did look worse than he had done in his previous fights. Similar story to a load of Jon Jones fights - he makes very good fighters look poor by his size and ability to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
