itt: 2nd round ko counts as "barely winning".
also mma fighters arent good athletes. now you may be asking, why do so many nfl nhl mlb and nba players train with mma fighters if they are such bad athletes? guess it is just to feel cool.

If I were to look up the result of the fight on wikipedia rather than have watched it, I would agree 100%.
Plenty of "good" athletes in mma, never suggested otherwise. The elite ones have no reason to waste time with it though.
There probably are a few relevant mainstream sports athletes training with mma flighters, but not for their sport, so yes it's probably to feel cool or train mma on the side for fun

Alvarez is a bush league journeyman well past his expiration date, and his wrestling pedigree isn't exactly stellar

Mendes fought on 2 weeks notice, mcgregor barely survived that fight until mendes gassed and can be thankful he wont have to fight him again



I think Conor would obliterate chad. During Conor's title run he was aggressive to a fault. Conor was legitimately charging into those takedowns and chad was timing it well. Eco Conor is different tho.

Khalabib god will still ragdoll him tho imo

Hey listen I've been wrong before and I will be again
This is obviously just my personal opinion
I felt like mendes could have ended the fight if he hadnt gassed so badly
Conor has nothing to threaten anyone with on the ground

No way in hell do they actually let khabib fight conor, his hype took enough of a hit after diaz dismantled him

It was obvious he wasn't actually as good as advertised after he got clowned on by someone who wasnt ranked in the top 10 in that division and wasnt training seriously
His gimmick only works if he's winning fights, and he loses his marketability as a superstar even to ppl unfamiliar with mma(his entire fanbase basically) after being exposed

He got a flash ko on a past his prime aldo and hasnt done anything noteworthy since

In all likelyhood more ppl tuned in to watch him get destroyed again
