McGregor vs prime Sakuraba at 170

[Cro Cop Is Back]

Most conor fans are filthy casuals and they have no idea who sakuraba is

Just like they paid Wanderlei to not KO Saku. Oh wait...

Also, Saku took prolonged beatings in several of his bouts from LHWs and HWs but didn't go out. You think Conor has more power than them?

Probably not because Conor is a clean fighter

 

[TrevorRoss]

Saku via rear naked choke.

 

[grapplejuice]

Conor with EASE.

ban this idiot

Conor tapping due to a kneebar would be very satisfying to look at

Yup it would! We're speaking about of guy that tapped out several Gracies, Newton, Rampage and Funaki. He fought against guys who outweighted him +20-30 lbs or more (Cro Cop, Mezger, Arona, Randleman) when being at his natural weight. He beat Royce in a 90-minute fight. Prime Sakuraba was a savage.

This is ridiculous. Saku has an enormous advantage in this hypothetical.

His single leg TDs alone were, without question, more than enough to ground Conor, especially considering the size/weight advantage he'd enjoy. Nate Diaz hit a single on Conor, for Christ's sake, and Nate's offensive wrestling can't even be compared to Saku's.

From there, Conor will have a hard time dealing with a significantly larger grappler of Saku's caliber on top. It'll not only wear Conor out faster, it'll also allow Saku to stay fresh longer, as he's not forced to hold down someone his own size.

Basically, Saku is just too crafty a grappler and Conor too small. We're talking about a guy that easily dealt with Vitor, so I highly doubt he'd lack the ability to avoid the only possible way for Conor to win, which is a left handed KO.

You are correct sir

Saku needs ONE just ONE of Conor's legs to get him to the mat. Saku subs him with EASE on the mat.

 

[TheWalrusNo9]

I'm a HUGE Conor fan, but this is literally one of the worst matchups you could give him.

Saku had a legendary chin, Cardio and probably the biggest heart in the history of MMA.

 

[AdamWarlock]

bump, who wins this fight?

 

[Ogata]

A bunch of retards, nut-huggers, and trolls on Sherdog but prime Sakuraba had a great chin. He had several TKO losses (via knees and corner stoppage) and one clean KO loss (to a roided up Wanderlei). But all of those were to much larger and powerful men than Conor.

Conor's left hand likely doesn't put Saku down. But when Saku grabs Conor, he will get the submission.

Are you really a sexy Asian guy?
