kinda strange since mendes kinda showed a lot of kinks in mcgregors game
Yeah...namely that CM sucks on the ground. The only reason he won that fight was because Mendes gassed and then CM tee'd off on a significantly smaller and out of shape opponent
Hard to say what Conor's ground game really is IMHO. His knee was jacked up going into the Mendes fight, yet he still stuff some of those TD's and also got back to his feet a couple times. He showed sub defense and good scrambling abilities on both guillotine attempts.
And he has had 6 months to improve that area of his game and get better with his BJJ. He has a great BJJ training partner in Gunnar.
Aldo FWIW is no Mendes with wrestling but is a good wrestler, better than he gets credit for, with very good TDD and very very good BJJ.
This whole card is gonna be the tits, and we get 3 straight nights of great fights. Stoked for Thug Rose vs PVZ and Barboza vs Ferguson on Thursday and Friday.
