[@user-nv2wt4hi8t]

@@dannyg2197 I know it's not quite clear cut because Conor lost to Nate in fight 1 with Ido then, like you say, won those next two. But unless Danis has some hidden striking ability or training, I can't see anywhere in those fights where his Jiu Jitsu practice actually came in handy for Conor? He kept the Diaz 2 fight entirely standing, and he stuffed all of Eddie's takedowns (maybe that was grappling progress from Danis?) and kept it standing except for one small part of the 1st round. I feel he lost something big when he focused much less on the movement motivated side of him (which is associated with his time with Ido).

That was one of they greatest reads of all time. Thats when I knew McGregor was special.

Conor gave Faber the perfect remedy to set up a big fight against T.J but Faber's loyalty wouldn't let him see it. That Conor who was laser focused in on EVERYTHING that had to do with the UFC. Not just opponents, but their managers, their PR reps, their financial reports, their camps and friends, everything that had to do with the business side of things, promotions, advertising. That Conor literally didn't miss anything

[@casualguy3938]

Artem is tough as hell with probably in the top 5 heavy handed hitters in his weight class. He ate a head kick that barely fazed him and it's hard to say anyone has big enough hands to knock him out. Normally I would like someone like that, but for some reason I just can't like him. Maybe it is him lacking a ground game. Well, I am pretty sure it is just that reason exactly. I am not surprised Dana brought in Ryan Hall because that is just the kind of fighter you need to be for the "W". Even then Artem still held his own very well. Maybe I need to see a compilation of Artem being funny even if it is unintentional to like him.
