[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 916628, member: 34990"] I'm of the same opinion, Interesting to see McGregor adopt a different stance in the open workouts, for lower and more straight on than his usual bladed karate stance. Much better for stopping takedowns (like Iaquinta basically squatting for three rounds) but makes him more hittable and hampers his bouncing in and out of range, which he excels at. Also drilling uppercuts and intercepting knees like a mad man. Conor definitely has a chance, his distance control is second to none in the ufc atm, and his TDD is underrated, but I think it's like 60-40 to khabib, tops. It's all well and good having great TDD but there's levels to it - Bisping had excellent tdd but then went up against GSP and he got him down. Conor has no one in his camp who is a fraction as good a wrestler as khabib. HIs main grappling partner is Danis who is an excellent BJJ player, but has lost to every grappler with a wrestling background [/QUOTE]
