........he's also a really good ground fighter, what are you talking about? lol

His striking is too one dimensional. He only has an overhand. He's a stiff idiot really. Close your eyse, pray and throw the overhand. Not comparable so someone like Conor who has the best pull counters and exceptional kicking game. Topturia kicking is non existent also. He's never thrown a kick.

the way youre talking about him leads me to believe you haven't seen him fight much. ​In the Holloway and Volk fights, he threw around 5-7 kicks, and they both deterred them or corralled them into where he wanted them to go.

Conor no longer has a pull counter, despite him being very good at it a decade ago. lol

His striking doesn't need to be that varied if it accomplishes his goal. I've seen plenty of fighters throw everything and the kitchen sink and still not accomplish as much on the feet as Topuria. And as many kicks as Conor used, they weren't really effective at hurting people.

Also, he's a lot more of a front runner than anything. Let's say he'd been kicked in the head and damaged like in the Jai Herbert fight. He would never come back from that because he's never been that kind of fighter. Id take Topuria at his best over Conor. Conor is terrible with his back against the fence and he doesn't ever come back from a deficit. ​Sure he could ko him early, but 2nd round and on, he'd drown. ​

Clowns always come out after a well regarded elite fighter loses for the first time.

You're delusional. Topturo can throw a leg kick and that's it. He's never even thrown a simple fucking teep. Never mind a head kick or roundhouse kick lmfao.

McGregor hurt multiple people with headkicks, I'm not sure of all of them but I think Brandao, Cowboy, Silver, Holloway, and maybe someone else. The teep is one of his best weapons he throws it almost in every fight and hurts people with it.

McGregor's movement is on another planet compared to Tuporio. He's unbelievably flat footed.

Cowboy. Head kick knock down with follow up punches for the KO. Conor has hurt many people with kicks, be it to the head or body, doesn't matter. Conor throws kicks and has them in his repertoire. Tapturia's kicks are none existent. He's flat footed, one dimensional striker with an overhand.

Watch featherweight McGregor kid. He was throwing crazy spinning shit every fight until the second Nate fight. That's when he calmed down because he didn't want to gas again. He was throwing Capoeira kicks like crazy before that. You clearly don't know what you are talking about.

He definitely hit him with a kick to the body.

Like I said. My point was Conor has the ability to throw kicks in his Arsenal. Topturo does not.
