wonderfullife wrote: » Do we have any reason to believe Eddie's JiuJitsu is superior to Conors? The only bits of evidence we have from McGregors side of things in recent memory are: Holloway fight - Dominated Max on the ground. Mendes fight - He was very limited in his closed guard. He landed some nice elbows off his back but otherwise sustained a fair few strikes. And of course he executed an excellent guillotine escape. Diaz 1 - modified X-Guard sweep into top control in Round 1 was high level. Failed guillotine escape Round 2. Eddie has 7 submission wins but none of them have come against elite UFC/Bellator talent. I'm not convinced Eddie will dominate on the ground if he succeeds in getting Conor down. Plus, you've got Conor putting in a lot of work with Kavanagh, Nelson and Danis on his jiujitsu in the last 18-24 months. People seem convinced Eddie will have the advantage on the ground but i'm far from convinced. It's hard to grade Alvarez jiujitsu seeing as he isn't belted but i suppose purple or brown is a fair guess.

The SBG camp keep telling us that 155lb Conor is the best version we'll see. Conor keeps telling us his new cardio training is the way forward. If all of the above is true, then he should be able to flow. If he goes in just relying on his left hand to get the job done, it could be a rough night. Eddie will have drilled non-stop against counter-punching southpaws. Mind you, we've plenty enough evidence that he can get his hand raised through that left hand alone. 2 weeks until UFC 205 Embedded pops. For me that's when the real buzz starts when i see that first episode drop.

I'm sure you can see how most people would assume that it was Charlie's account.Not sure what can be done about it? I'm sure twitter themselves don't give 2 hoots about someone being impersonated.

wonderfullife wrote: » Well Paul Dollery and Kav are following him on Twitter. They've seen the picture. I refuse to believe nobody has noticed that his profile picture is a punch landed that contributed to the death of a man. The problem with Kavanagh is he refuses to accept "negativity" or criticism on Twitter. If i tweeted, in good faith, "is it not insensitive for Charlie to use that photo?" the chances are i'd be blocked.I was blocked by Joe Rogan a while back for suggesting that hunting wild, endangered animals is not cool :rolleyes:
