    Yes, this is my thread. You're welcome.

    On what planet is Mendes a novice striker? To get back to stats, 50% of his wins have been by KO/TKO. So how It's a fact that he's a novice striker is truly beyond me. 17-2 in MMA doesn't mean much? news to me, go tell Conor that.

    I'm an amateur so you're referring to yourself as what? a pro? not a tad pretentious no? I'm far from a bandwagon fan, If that were the case I would be loved in here not hated. Sorry you got your knickers in a twist, It's really not that big of a deal.

    Conor would agree- fighting amateurs in The UK that are fulltime graphic designers by day is different than fighting a Poirer or Mendes. You do not understand this sport. 50 percent of KOs doesn't mean you are good at striking necessarily, typical fanboy. Let me explain: you look at form, shots from previous fights, experience level, and eye test. Conor is fundamentally a better striker than Chad- that simple. amateur is a vague word- what did you start training at SBG after the Ireland show? It's a long way to the top bud haha

    BTW, obviously I don't think I own this thread, I'm sitting in work with absolutely nothing to do, so I'm pretty much replying to EVERYTHING. I can see how that can be annoying, just put me on ignore and you'll be grand.

    It's kind of irrelevant when he doesn't train BJJ. He's the best wrestler in the division and probably has the best grappling too.

    I agree he's the best wrestler but Nick and Nate Diaz were always on their back. Getting someone down is 1 thing, but finishing is a completely different thing- that's why I said the exact words: I think Conor's guard will surprise people (if taken down)

    Sorry, I need to bow out of this argument before I embarrass myself anymore by stooping to your level...hilarious stuff coming out of you.

    I think it will too. I don't think ground game is gonna come into loads anyways. Connor's take down defence is excellent and if he can control the distance I don't think Mendes will get too close to him.

    Locking this till I can have a look through it. Until then, don't drag the same crap into another thread.
