    Mayweather would win if it was MMA rules. What weapons does McGregor have? He's hardly going to get a kick KO or a tapoout.

    He's a BJJ brown belt, if they felt like restarting the fight after every tap he'd win the fight ten times over via submission by the end of the 5 rounds.

    Mayweather could have finishing that fight in two rounds if he wanted to.

    McGregor would just take him to the ground in MMA and murder him.

    McGregor had man flu going into the Mayweather fight, only for that he would have ko'd him in 1 round

    And Joshua suffered a knock out the morning of the Ruiz fight. He should have never been in the ring

    David haye broke his toe before klitchko, I think when this excuse culture started

    Why does McGregor not fight any more? He should be fighting at least twice a year. I don't get it.

    Not true at all.

    Although I'm not dying to watch Khabib at any point. I'm tuning in for Poirier's shot and how he matches up

    On the feet? No he didn't, not even close.

    But most of the fight took place on the ground. I assume your trolling.
    Or belong in the same crew that thought Aldo was a fraud. :rolleyes:

    It's not going to have the same attention as Khabib v McGregor. But that's the casual factor. Among actual fans, people who regularly watch MMA, I'd imagine there's huge interest.

    If you are actually serious, then I'd suggest watching it again yourself. I've watched the fight plenty of times. Guessing your basing your assessment on that one big overhand. The fight was more than one punch.

    (before somebody gets upset, I'll preface this by saying Khabib clearly won the fight. And the ground fighting element was much more significant that the standing element :rolleyes: )


    Significant Strikes
    md8FMfq.png

    On the feet, Conor lands 45 significant strikes. Khabib landed 25. Stats don't they the whole picture, but at almost double the strikes, Conor clearly edges the striking.
    The majority of that was in round 3, the only round that Conor won. The only where Khabib didn't secure the early takedown.

    Khabib didn't land any standing strikes in round 1.
    Rounds 2 and 4 had very little stand up action.
    Both landed only 4-6 strikes in each.

    Sports fans are fickle and have short memories.

    Still, Ireland's most lucratively successful boxer ever. A record likely to be never broken. Well done, Conor. Conor bless.

    Ah sure I'd say Daniel Day Lewis earned more. Sure he probably had a few "real fights" in filming as well :rolleyes:

    Give it up mate, mctapper is done as a top level fighter. He would be mauled twice as viciously if he fought Khabib again. He couldn’t knock out a seventy year old man fgs
    Lol. Point out one thing in my post that is bias? They are simply the stats from the fight.

    You hardly expect anyone to take you seriously given the level of "discussion" you bring to the forum. At least the other lads catch a few people with their trolling.

    I was kind of hinting at the general level of interest, (McGregor interest fans).

    Conor is not even close to the most lucrative boxer from Ireland.
    Michael Flatley is worth about twice what Conor is.

    You show your own bias/trolling when you call him McTapper and ignore the facts.
