Huge MMA fan here AMA

[LeftRytGoodNite]

In your opinion, how highly do you rate Conor's grappling/wrestling in MMA?

Fan of combat sports in general (was definitely Team PrideFC/Strikeforce while the UFC let the wrestlers lay-and-pray), but the talk is worth having.

Great question.

Conors strong suit in MMA is and always will be his boxing (I realize the irony of me saying this here)
and because of this it has raised a hell of a lot of sceptics in MMA about how he can do on the ground because he wins all his fights with boxing.

this led to a lot of MMA fans saying that as soon as he faces a wrestler hes toast due to having no ground game.

How ever he has fought wrestlers now and he has defeated them all easily.

He has fantastic take down defense and once he gets on the ground he is no bum. He has great BJJ and sub defense plus pretty high level wrestling. hes not at the level of the best guys on the ground but he can hang with them and doesn't get destroyd.

But make no mistake his bread and butter is Knocking people out with his straight left

We boxing fans believe Conor will catch Floyd with an uppercut and KO him, and after that our sport will be dead. How likely is that scenario to you?

Why are MMA fans obsessed with street fights? MMA is a sport, with rules, just like boxing.

Hahahaha. Are you some kind of cartoonish version of an MMA fan?

Yes some of us believe Conor can beat Mayweather.

Many more than that think Conor is ****ed

I'm on the fence. While I don't think Conor has ZERO chance to even land 1 shot on mayweather I'm also not ****** and realise that this is boxing and Conor has an insanely unlikely task infront of him to beat on of the greatest defensive boxers of all time.

Conor has a knack for pulling of miracles though so I honestly wouldn't be that surprised if somehow he pulls this off.

Mystic Mac is no joke the guy has a crystal ball somewhere in his ****ing house honestly

MMA is the closest thing to real fighting that a person can watch.

MMA originally didn't actually have any rules, In brazil they call this Vale Tudo and it means "anything goes" obviously without weapons.

I don't speak for all MMA fans but i think we are trying to reach what we deem to be the closest thing to a "real" fight thats possible at a high level.

Make no mistake the best MMA fighters on the planet are the best "real" fighters on the planet because they are forced to excel in an environment where almost any technique can be used against them and they can use almost any technique in return.

I think i answerd your question? please let me know if I didn't

Yeah i get all that. I respect the sport. I just don't like the fans. Yall always talking about what would happen in a street fight and talking **** about boxers not being real fighters. That's disrespectful and dumb.

Do yoy know anything about boxing? In your opinion how do you see the fight playing out? I see Floyd easily beating him and toying with him. Im on the fence of 12 rounds to 0 floyd decision or floyd by mid rounds tko. To most of us the winner is gonna be no doubt mayweather and pretty easily to be honest, but the only thing is does conor make it all 12 rounds thats the real question.
