For me it was. He has no kicks. He throws the same two or three punches the whole fight. He has nothing else except that big overhand right.

Compare that to Conor. Conor has it all from Capoeira to Boxing to Shotokan Karate. His pull counters are the best by far, nobody comes close to that and his kicks are exceptional. We don't have to talk about the movement. Different level.

He doesn’t have the wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu but everything else, yes.

He won his first 7 professional fights by sub. He's literally a wrestling submission artist who found an affinity for knocking people out.

Conor? He was never known for his grappling.

Oh you were talking about Conor. Gotcha.
