looks like this thread is going to be here a long time

hes here to take heads off and cash cheques

i think mcgregor catches mendes with a knee

After re-watching Chad's fights against Nik Lentz, Guida, and Lamas, I'm starting to reconsider my pick here.

He looked like absolute shit against Nik, Guida and Lamas both landed shots at will on him before getting TKO'd.

There's a reason the UFC didn't give this fight to Edgar despite the fact that he deserves it more.

he had the flu for something for nik lentz but still he didn't pull out of the fight and made weight so.... means nothing in the end really. i also just re-watched siver vs mcgregor on FS1 and i think mcgregor catches him with a knee early or gets taken down 1-2 times and pops up to KO him. siver and chad are very different styles but similar body type.

It's gonna really come down to how bad Conor's TDD is.

I'm not expecting it to be good, but if it's bad to the point where Chad can put him on his back 100% of his attempts, he's gonna have problems.

I think he'll be able to use his range and just confuse Chad too much on the feet.

If it goes to the ground who the fuck knows. That's why this fight is so interesting.

Not 100% on Conor, but starting to lean towards him for this fight. Still picking Aldo if they end up fighting.

the guy is too athletic to get LnP'd. i can almost see conor getting top position if he sets it up with strikes/rocks mendes. he was pretty slick getting mount on siver i was impressed. BJ penn used to utilize this technique to pass into mount

Silva was incredibly athletic too until he ran into a strong wrestler.

Conor doesn't have the ground game to sub Mendes off of his back like Silva did to Chael, though.

lol.. silva isn't athletic... dude is sponsered by burger king and has a double chin...
