    And are you aware when he grapples, he takes strikes to the body on the ground. including punches, elbows and knees/kicks to the body (even on the ground)

    There are more ways to strike your opponents body in MMA than there are in boxing so GTFO.. and kicks hurt way more than punches, and Conor's been kicked plenty.
    Look I've been watching MMA since 94. Yes, knees, kicks, etc. are thrown to body but at what volume? It's no the same as getting punched in the body PLENTY of times within three minutes then having to do that 12x.

    I've seen all of McGregor's fights starting since the Ivan Buchinger fight and he's barely taken ANY damage other than against Mendes (who took it on two weeks notice) where he got taken down and blasted to the face a few times and the two Diaz fights. In neither of those fights did he take a ton of body shots or even if any.

    Can he avoid punishment to the face and body against Mayweather? Probably not unless he miraculously takes him out early. Otherwise he'll gas just the way he started to gas against Diaz and yes he also started to gas in the rematch but bit down and gritted it out.

      OMFG, you have to be trolling right?
      You're aware, that we all sweat.... at all times? Our water loss in a day (per the average person)... is around 1500ml through urination... and about 1000ml through feces, sweating and breathing.
      Are you really this dumb? Really? Like seriously? I can't fathom someone can be this ******. This is like talking biology with a 3 year old.

        Consistent body attack isn't as common in MMA outside of the clinch. It's really only when guys are committed to kicking the body, and out of Conor's UFC opponents that's almost none of them. I rarely see UFC fights punch to the body. That's probably for defensive purposes so I get it.

        In the clinch, yeah guys knee the body and can really hurt guys.

          Seriously you have literally no comprehension of human biology at all.

          You're making it sound like Mayweather would have been attempting to sweat to lose half a pound on fight day... you can lose half a pound completely naturally without attempting to 'cut' in any way. Hell it could have been a warmer day and thus he'd naturally sweat a little more, couple that in with the weigh in being at a different time of day and you've lost half a pound easy.

          Weigh yourself before you go to bed and then weigh yourself again in the morning. Guarantee you'll probably wake up about around 1 or 2 pounds lighter.

            Mcgregors a shrimp for 154. Floyd is a natural lightweight but McGregor is a small guy too.

            Have a look at the Charlo brothers they are proper 154lb fighters. Much bigger than Conor.

                  Floyd won't give out his fight night weight, like usual. Either way Floyd is going to win.

                    the size difference is insane.
                    We knew this when it was announced. Floyd stays solid in weight and McMuffin says he feels right at 170

                      As usual lol,,,,,, I posted pics the other day, no fighter puts out fight night weight every fight actually few do anytime.

                      Floyd doesn't cut to fight at 154, if you ever see him for real he is dam small.
