Thoughts on my last fight.Round 1. I believe from a sport standpoint, round 1 was his. Top position against the fence. Zero position advancement or damage inflicted. But top position.
From a fight standpoint the first round is mine.
Actual shots landed and a willingness to engage. Straight left early. Knee to the head on the low shot. Elbows in any and all tie up scenarios. Opponent just holding the legs against the fence for almost the entire round.
Round 2 he is running away around the cage before being blessed with a right hand that changed the course of the round, and the fight.
It was a nice shot.
After the shot I bounced back up to engage instantly, but again he dipped under to disengage. That is the sport and it was a smart move that led to a dominant round, so no issue. Well played.
If I stay switched on and give his stand up even a little more respect, that right hand never gets close and we are talking completely different now.
I gave his upright fighting no respect in preparation. No specific stand up spars whatsoever.
Attacking grapplers/wrestlers only.
That won’t happen again.
I also gave my attacking grappling no respect. To defense minded.
Lessons.
Listen to nobody but yourself on your skill set.
You are the master of your own universe.
I am the master of this.
I must take my own advice.
Round 3. After the worst round of my fighting career, I come back and win this round. Again walking forward, walking him down, and willing to engage.
Round 4. My recovery was not where it could have been here.
That is my fault.
Although winning the early exchanges in 4, he dips under again and I end up in a bad position with over 3 on the clock. I work to regain position and end up upright, with my back to the fence.
A stable position.
Here however, I made a critical error of abandoning my over hook at this crucial time, exposing the back, and I end up beaten fair and square.
What can I say?
It was a great fight and it was my pleasure.
I will be back with my confidence high.
Fully prepared.
If it is not the rematch right away, no problem.
I will face the next in line.
It’s all me always, anyway.
See you soon my fighting fans I love you all

I don't even believe that Connor has the best stand up at all. Anderson Silva in my opinion probably has the best stand up striking due to his control, management, perception and understanding let alone the his arsenal of strikes.
I heard that Connor may face Anderson. So we just mi ght truely see how good is his method of striking matches against Anderson's.

Anderson's been KO'd brutally by a wrestler. Conor tapped twice, and sure Nate rocked him in their first fight but no ko/tko losses.

Conor vs habib 1st round was not a 10-8 for habib
Conor assesment is good habib had top position but he did nothing with it.
I had first round 10-10
As far as aldo goes I wanted a rematch but aldo had the chance to b a replacement and face conor for the rematch and aldo said no. He's only talking now because he thinks conor is at a weak point.
Very cowardly to call someone out right after they lose.
We must c khabib vs tony its been overdue for awhile now.
Conor vs silva is no good cause silva is way too big.
And silva is so stupid he says if they fight at 180 that would b fair. **** off thats not fair at all.
170 is the heaviest it can happen at and still be competive.
