    He made that look easy, total domination.

    In a way glad he went the distance, a great experience for him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,012 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Should have knocked him out.

    and you don't think he was trying?

    Pity about the knee alright, but a great performance from Conor. He will certainly get more ko's yet.

    So relaxed...
    Their exchanges (especially compared to those on the other side) were legendary... just how chilled can you get!? :D

    Good win, 30-27 unanimous.

    "Hehehe, f***ing hell!"

    wonder who they'll give him next? any guesses?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 419 ✭✭EireIceMan


    Should have knocked him out.

    Yea, like WTF was he playing at, pure disgrace





    :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    This was a great experience for him. We kind of know where he's at now. He can't just ko everyone but he adapted to a dominant performance. That's the way champions fight. However, I don't think he's ready for someone like Swanson just yet. He has to fight someone else lower ranked. But the hype is real

    Dana announced Conor has a knee injury and Max a broken foot. Now to see if the knee heals in time for Manchester.

    not a hope, would rather he waited cos his next fight will be a serious test


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,630 ✭✭✭themandan6611


    let him keep doing what he is doing, conor and cub in a year or two would be amazing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 419 ✭✭EireIceMan


    Did anybody else get nervous when they went to ground?

    nah, he was in total control on the ground so didn't really worry

    Oh, i know he was. But on the ground things can change quick. I was thinking 'get up', 'just keep doing what your doing'.

    Holloway's ground game isn't really good. He never submitted anyone

    While he favours striking in MMA Conor is a pretty high level purple belt in Bjj, Max isn't a sub artist or anything to worry about on the mat.
    That said his half guard was pretty good.

    I have Holloway by UD.
    Hope I'm wrong.

    In your face, noob!

    would you just look at the last line of his statement and leave
    it at that
    very childish


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,604 ✭✭✭dave1982


    Considering Ireland is new to MMA training Connor is exceptionally good, I was nervous of Connor on top I didn't know Maxs BBJ level the guy on top often comes out worse.

    Do ye reckon Connor will stay his camp in Dublin or move to the US to go training there he has the foundation I think a stint in America would benefit him.
