wonderfullife wrote: » Yep but hitting the deck 7 times from strikes is not going to be good against someone with the power/accuracy of McGregor. One thing is for certain. If Conor drops Eddie, there will be no waving him back up. He'll jump straight into his guard and start throwing strikes.

MartyDublin wrote: » Yes being dropped by strikes and beig finished is completely different. I compete in mma and being dropped is fine as long as your offensive in your guard and can also do damage. I think conor ends it within 2. But i feel people here are misrepresenting his comments.
wonderfullife wrote: » That mentality won't get you very far. Firaz Zahabi said it best. He said "being dropped means a disruption between your brain and your body." You are arguing that being dropped is fine but being KO'd is not fine! The only difference between the 2 situations is the degree of disruption between your brain and your body. Long term if you keep getting dropped, you're susceptible to all sorts of problems. There's so little actual science on the subject but there are strong indications that constantly having disruptions between brain and body can lead to CTE. It also affects your ability to withstand future blows. There's no positive way to spin being dropped 7 times in your last 14 fights. None. And that's exactly the position Eddie Alvarez is in. As for yourself, i'd do some research on CTE if you think the only thing you need to worry about is offensive guard-play when dropped.

wonderfullife wrote: » We don't know that for sure as none of us saw his regional fights. Anyway, what we do know is 7 of them happened in his last 14 fights. His chin is worsening not improving. We'll see what happens. There's 26 days until Fight Week begins and 24 days until the next decent MMA card so there won't be a whole lot else to discuss other than this fight :pac:

In fact, I'm certain of it, you can see the end of Hyland's name in the top left corner. Also the tattoos. Also, the story is confirmed to have been nonsense. Chael went with the story to get a few extra listeners.
