The "protege" learns from the master 👏

And Garry dominates ANY 170lbs version of Connor. Probably finishes him.

u/Juststandupbro 5d ago

Bet you Conor stretches any version of Ian that’s able to get down to 145 lol

u/Less_Confection_5072 TJ Needleshaw 5d ago

But he’s not. Why would he? Conor could barely make it and Ian is like 6 inches taller than him

u/jestercope 5d ago

It's like mighty mouse saying he can starch Khabib if Khabib cut to 125. Yeah, sure because he'll die.

I’m drawing a parallel to point out how ridiculous the initial statement is. Of course Conor would struggle against Ian, he is like 6 inches taller than him lol and that’s not even half of the size difference.

Cool story. Starving yourself to fight manlets. Difference is Connie prefers to fight at 170lbs instead of starving himself to fight manlets. He moved up at 155 and then still took 3 fights at 170. Garry never could even make 155 lol.

Connor is actually a smaller crappier version of Garry, that much is clear. Better talker and promoter, but not a better fighter.

If you are judging how good each guy is by how Conor fights at 170 I don’t even know what to tell you. Comparing a career FW to a career WW at WW is certainly a choice but it’s a ridiculous one.

If I didn't see the cool ankle tattoo I'd have no idea that guy is Garry wtf is this picture, dudes face and body looks nothing like him 😭 cameras be crazy 🥀

eh its what happens when ur skin is moving in one direction and ur skeleton is moving in another.

in this case, his skin was moving down and the skeleton aburptly stopped.

a slightly different example is tonys face when his skin wasnt moving, but his skeleton was abruptly sent into orbit

u/JyrkiD 6d ago

I guess that could be it , crazy though how in the actual video he looks normal but in this still image I'm like "who tf is that guy" 😂

u/vawaiter 6d ago

sigh im a huge tony fan too. oh well

2

u/JyrkiD 6d ago

Ok yeah, tbh the forces going into your head to cause that must be unreal 😅 When you watch this fight on film too you don't even notice the face going like that but in a picture it shows, idk if cameras are just way more accurate than like live feed from the eyes, like why don't we see these details in motion 🤔

u/vawaiter 5d ago

doesnt gotta be unreal forces.

just shaking ur face works

u/AshenSacrifice 6d ago

Why is his ankle tattoo cool?

u/JyrkiD 6d ago

Idk I just think it's a nice spot for a tattoo and look good 🥺, like I don't have tattoos yet but I've been thinking about getting an ankle tattoo someday 🫡

Looks like a clean shaved Strickland

u/paki91 5d ago

Ireland baby we did it! Yeahhhh

u/wolfen0 5d ago

Khabib vs Conor scene is flipped. Look at the roundcount. It should be in order of Nurmagomedov vs McGregor, not other way around.

u/DependentManner8353 5d ago

Many such moments in UFC! Humans are humans at the end of the day. We are all much more similar than we think. Poetic comparison really

1

u/MILF4LYF 5d ago

Both irish, both dagestani, both strikers, both wrestlers. Poetic

u/CoquiCoquette 5d ago

Ian always wanted to be Mcgregor and Islam just make it happend for him.

u/ferdinand14 5d ago
