Anyone else in here feel confident that they could take down Conor McGregor?
i believe strength and size could make up for it. He is a 140LB 5'9 manlet skeleton kek
I'm 6'1 sitting at 240lbs and 1/2/3/4 imaopl8 lifts.
I'm a former D-1 rugby player, have abs at 6'1" 240 lbs, worked as a bouncer, Did army ROTC in college turning it down for 70k finance job, and I bench somewhere around 420 lbs. I grew up on base and boxed since I was 8. I've got the quickest hands I've ever seen in person from a non professional fighter, especially at my weight. If my gf wants to talk chit I'll let her do it to a point before pulling her away. If some guy gets in her face? I'm either gonna do the responsible thing and get the bouncer or pick him up and slam his phucking neck into the concrete.
and he got lucky in his last fight by decision but no K.O
Yea you easily could. Size and strength matter more than anything else, that's why weight classes exist. I only give a shit about the heaviest weight classes cause if I'm watching lightweights I may as well be watching women.
Adam Cook
Go to your local bjj gym and challenge a skinny white belt. This level of delusion could get you hurt, OP. It's probably best if you get humbled in a safe environment where they will encourage you to learn rather than riticule you
Charles Sanders
> 6'1 sitting at 240lbs and 1/2/3/4 imaopl8 lifts. lol dude, stop being fat and DYEL
Yeah, you could take him. You could just fall on him, you fatty.
Kevin Rivera
Yes you can they you cam also outrun bolt outswim phelps and outshitpost australia
Christopher Kelly
A 130 pound BJJ white belt would more likely beat your ass. Let alone a 145-168 pound professional knockout artist with a brown belt in Ju jitsu. You would be humbled quickly
Medfag here. What is this mysterious "riticule," and how does one do it to another. Curious for research purposes. Investigating interpersonal interaction in combat setting.
Jeremiah Gray
You mean med student you faggot
Blake Bell
Why the fuck are you people obsessed with taking down Mr. McGregor? Jesus are you so insecure with yourselves that you can't just lift for self improvement, you have to concoct some implausible scenario where you two meet and you smash him up to be able to say you downed a pro MMA fighter?
How warped is your self image that you entertain mashing someone's face in on a Croatian basket weaving forum?
Owen Watson
That's a negative sir. I meant Medfag. My life of hard work upon acceptance to my program was culminated in my ability to refer to myself as such on this Bangladeshi clan counting board.
Asher Gomez
Fucking idiots to anyone who think they can take connor. Even if some of you here, are legit blackbelts and have trained over 3 years, you wont even get close to him. He will destroy you in an actual fight. The way he trains he prepares for battle, just sucks he gassed out pretty badly his last fight
Isaac Flores
You just got accepted? You're a fucking med student. You try to call yourself doctor already too?
Ayden Jenkins
*his last two fights
Michael Allen
You seem to have an intellectual disability. I'm sorry for your suffering. I'm trying to call myself a Medfag. M E D F A G M E D F A G
Liam Butler
Just imaging he punches you right in the nose so you hear it cracks and goes down in your scull. What's you next move?
Carter Jones
You just got accepted, you're fucking nothing.
John Williams
His feel when rejected from D.O. school
Parker Phillips
sure, if I can catch him, he runs away a lot
Hudson Jackson
Supporting Medfag here. I think you forgot to activate your almonds. It adds at least +10 for happiness. Pic related. Klokov after 2 servings.
Anthony Martinez
> obvious bait > he'd drop you real quik faggot
Evan Peterson
I actually think I could, but I'm not gonna brag about it on an anonymous forum. My reason being is that my dad is an award winning martial arts trainer, so I was trained in Kenpo Jiu Jiutsu and wrestling since I was born. I'm pretty big too (for you) so maybe, I don't know.
Chase Lewis
How do I train my head to take as many punches as Diaz did without retarding myself?
Zachary Clark
be born with a granite chin and build mental toughness
Isaac Nguyen
IWOULD DESTROOOY MCGREGOR LITTLE MANLETS THINK THEIR TOUGH HAHAHAHAHA I LAUGH AT YOU PUNY FAGGOTS NO ONE COULD EVEN REACH HIGH ENOUGH TO HIT ME LET ALONE HURT ME ID PICK MCMANLET UP AND RIP HIM IN HALF IM THE STONGEST HUMAN ALIIIIIVE
Hunter Barnes
Why else do you think they're on Veeky Forums.
Nobody here is well adjusted. Not even you.
Wyatt Allen
Medfag here. Can confirm.
Jace Rogers
Such obvious bait i cringed. I thought summer was over?
Tyler Sullivan
You couldnt.. just go to a muay thai class and ask for a heavy sparr with a tough small guy.
Hell sink his shin into your thigh and youll cry.
In bjj/ground theyll just swarm you and choke you out.
Logan Jenkins
Have you seen him fighting the mountain if it was a real fight Mcgregor would get fucked up.
Kayden Morris
Thats not actually why weight classes exist m8
Blake Foster
Goku vs Broly right there
Joseph Murphy
While I find OP obnoxious, I joined my brother at his bjj gym (he's a brown belt) and tossed him around like it was nothing. I have a solid 40 lbs on him and he just couldn't muscle me into any hold or position or whatever it's called. He was super frustrated.
Alexander Gray
>Why do we have weight classes
Evan Fisher
Oh totally. A guy my size would have destroyed me.
Benjamin Cruz
The Mac would have to be pure Striker to have any luck taking down OPie. Weight classes are fucking huge, you're simply not going to grapple an oponent that has 100lbs of more mass than you.
However, you can get slapped in the jaw and go down just like everyone else. Moment you get your hands on Mac he's done.
Matthew Diaz
And how many championships does your brother have in the UFC?
Charles Moore
Stop moving the goalpost. People keep saying "go to your local gym blah blah blah" well guess what... I DID that and destroyed the local brown belt tough guy so fuck off.
Gabriel Martin
>people actually believe they can beat a pro mma fighter whos life is to train every fu king day.
Like another user said, he will blast his shin and crack your femur and before you even know you will have a broken face too.
Matthew Brooks
this boxing, ok sure but what about the rest.fighting is more than just using your hands m8.
Lincoln Gomez
Go kick boxing or muay thai you will not say the same. Just challenge someone who knows what he is doing to a hard sparring and you will walk out crying.
Gavin Gray
Im not moving any goalpost. OP had a very clear point and you implied you agreed with it. I said youre a faggot
Charles Bennett
Just retard yourself gradually and slowly. So if wouldn't be a stress to and punches wouldn't cause much harm. Lifting helps.
William Torres
140 kickboxer make me cry?? O I AM LFFN
Noah Moore
Well he will just run away from you and kick you in the leg until you get tired.
Eli Foster
Bro I'm not even lying right now, but I could smash the fuck out of McGregor. I just don't want to because I' socially shy and being in a ring with all those people watching would give me a panic attack.
But no jokes, Me 1v1 against Conor I would crush the little leprechaun.
Thomas Thompson
This has to be copy pasta from misc
Eli Cook
Your jaw is made out of glass Op
Mason Gray
>implying he could reach OP's jaw
Dominic Moore
>Hey guys can I beat this guy if I'm stronger than him even though I know jackshit about fighting?
Short answer, no. Long answer, maybe, but it largely depends on the strength difference we're talking about here. Fighting also isn't about how much you can lift off the floor, there's a lot of technique and speed involved in it.
Jaxson Clark
Anybody got the videos of that guy who sucker punched Mayweather Sr and got fucked up twice?
Angel Williams
he seems kinda slow and simple like the fight vs diaz it didnt look very impressive, he had normal foot work that anyone can use to be agile, but his punches were basic and didnt look strong at all, he just hit him when he wasnt looking or blocking which is obvious to anyone in any situation. it would definitely by an easy match
Easton Scott
this meme needs to end
Jeremiah Davis
>mayweather
How about you actually give a real example, instead of this pussy who does nothing but run around the ring like a sissy.
Alexander King
he can act like a grown up and avoid being around monkeys like you /zoo/ pls go
Brandon Clark
Nice bait but that never happened.
Grayson Peterson
Sorry but it did :]
Henry Price
dear god you're so fucking pretentious and pedantic. You belong in medicine where you're "hard work" will lead to your unavoidable suicide. cheers faggot
Isaac Jackson
>People this retarded exist
Landon Perez
All medfags are pretty much like this. My class has worked with them before, and they're always the incredibly pretentious and talk down to you. I prefer not to talk to them, but there's one chill guy who's studying for veterinary studies.
Kevin Hernandez
If you're being serious, OP, I'll give you a serious answer.
Professional MMA fighters these days cross-train an unbelievable amount of different martial art disciplines. Just because you have a little amateur boxing and you're bigger isn't going to mean dick. He's going to shoot your legs that much sooner once he sees you take a boxing stance.
From there you could probably outmuscle him but you aren't going to be able to out-technique him. You aren't going to be able to outlast him. You're 240lbs and abs or not, you're going to gas out 10 times sooner than he will.
Rear naked choke, triangle choke, armbar, kimura, guillotine (what he'll probably tap you with), etc. Wrestling and BJJ are so effective because they can completely levels the playing field against someone bigger than you.
Even if he stayed up with you, he's had extensive muay thai and he's much faster than you...You lift so you obviously know the INSANE difference between a person who lifts versus someone who doesn't...the person who lifts isn't just "twice as strong" as the non-lifter...they are four, five, six times stronger than a person who doesn't go to the gym seriously. The difference between trained and untrained is insurmountable. Not even luck would help you.
Isaiah Wood
Actually, weight and strength both present a huge advantage in wrestling and other grappling sports. I agree about your other points though.
Wyatt Parker
Get out of the basement Tyler ;)
Luis Butler
You probably thought Ronda Rousey could beat up guys too lel
Hudson Moore
Let's see those abs user ;)
Eli Williams
Yeah I dunno OP you'd probably get your head kicked in he walks around at like 170
Gabriel Cook
Ronda rousey can kick the shit out of regular guys her size. Against a male MMA fighter? That's criminal.
Dylan Martin
Why are you being a pussy and trying to fight a smaller dude?
Owen Fisher
Mouthgaurds help a lot more than you think
Wyatt Allen
If you're talking about 2 regular dudes, one of whom is 100lbs bigger than the other, of course you're right. There's absolutely no contest.
OP's scenario is hugely different than that.
Liam Walker
The only reason I didn't pick up boxing yet is because I actually worried about the brain damage from being continuously hit in the face during sparring.
Is this a thing? Anyone ever investigated this issue seriously? For casual boxers that is.
Joshua Howard
Daring pasta synthesis, OP, I give you two thumbs up
Gavin Richardson
Mike tyson has brain damage, a lot of boxers do get broken fingers and bones. The way they maintain themselves is by winning so much money from fights that they can afford expensive plastic surgery. It's not worth it to go pro, but it's a fun sport to train.
Zachary Gomez
KEK the mountain is holding back on purpose. Conor is much too valuable for him to actually hurt.
Hunter Gonzalez
The data says that CTE is not an issue for casual boxers/football players/etc. For professionals who do it their entire lives? Huge issue. It sucks that it takes decades for the problem to present itself and we only know now how bad it is.
Austin Gray
So brain damage isn't a thing for casual boxers?
I mean, you can't ever get decent without sparring and when you are sparring while being shit you most likely take a lot of head blows
Jack Clark
Interesting ... Well, I guess 2 boxing sessions a week won't do me any harm then.
I might actually get to learn how to punch and dodge a little. Which is fair enough for a little self defense.
And then there is BJJ, the other option I am considering.
Henry Brooks
Not all all. When you spar you're not trying to knock the other guy out. I take it you haven't ever sparred.
I know plenty of casual boxer and not one has suffered brain damage
Have you seen a pro boxing match. You get punched a professional level power three hundred times in a short span of time. THAT is how you get brain damaged senpai llama
Carter Stewart
If you want to learn how to fight against 90% of other human beings you want to learn boxing/wrestling. They are pure fighting sports and have existed for thousands of years for a reason.
BJJ and Muay Thai are evolved and specific forms of martial arts that are meant as a counter to other forms of fighting. The VAST majority of people are not fighters.
Julian Hall
I'm 6'7" and he would destroy me easily.
Jeremiah Johnson
Top kek at all you meatheads who know nothing about fighting.
It doesn't matter how strong or massive you are. Striking is all about technique in bodyweight transition. I bet that most of you lardasses couldn't even punch properly if your life depended on it.
I love it when 260 lbs idiots come in my gym and think they can box just because they lift. I enjoy lanky pumped up meathead faces under my blows. Keep it up, clowns.
Michael Diaz
You dumb niggers don't realize he is small, thin and very fast. One well placed punch or kick to the head / ribs and you kids would fall down like a bag of potatoes.
I could easily out lift him, but in a real fight he would belt my face in, like he would to you.
Austin Sullivan
Just out of curiosity, have you done any MA before? I've done some very basic BJJ and have a friend who's very into it. We spar every now and again. Beat some of his friends since they're weak as fuck.
MA practicioners, BJJ especially, fairly often ignore S&C outside of their sport. I'm a 5'7 manlet at 75kg with a 190kg DL, so I'm fairly strong but I've never beat anyone with purple or above. So, I'm just wondering if you have any prior MA experience
Thomas Young
you challenged a fucking brown belt you retard.were talking about a world class fighter and a champion.theres a video on youtube of a bjj black belt shitting on a 250 body builder.
Caleb Baker
I love how people are comparing wrestling and shit. Have you ever been kicked in the chest by a guy as well trained as mcgregor? It doesnt matter how big you are, if you dont check it you are going down and you will feel like you are going to die.
Gavin Walker
>Wrestling He's going to feint the same feints and setups he's been practicing his whole life, you're going to react exactly the way he'll expect you to and present an opening, and he's going to kick you so hard that your soul will play the windows shutdown music.
Tyler Gray
I would trash a boxer with no ground game, and im a brown belt, im sure Conor would too even if he is a manlet, if you cant fight on the ground you will always be toast against a good grappler, i thought we found this fact out in the 90's during the original UFC
Robert Brown
Nigger are you fucking dumb? You're not used to fighting anyone, he would drop you in one punch.
Anthony Bennett
lmao
Jonathan King
> bjjfag brings up that one 30 yr old video
erry time lmao
Bentley Reyes
Not MA but I wrestled in high school and played linebacker in college, so I have a fairly good sense of leverage.
Funny you asked about S&C. I'm always ragging on him to just add a simple weight routine but he refuses.
Nathan Campbell
As someone who trains for powerlifting at 6' 200lbs roughly and actually did walk into a boxing gym and and trained boxing for a while, I'm confident that I couldn't.
I'd say I could ruin any normies which haven't trained fighting but I also know how someone smaller who's developed some good skills can ruin me.
Andrew Wilson
How is Veeky Forums this fucking new? This pasta has been floating around for years.
Joseph Ramirez
This is the original pasta if anyone is interested:
Lol bro, I'm a former D-1 rugby player, have abs at 6'1" 240 lbs, worked as a bouncer, Did army ROTC in college turning it down for 70k finance job, and I bench somewhere around 420 lbs. I grew up on base and boxed since I was 8. I've got the quickest hands I've ever seen in person from a non professional fighter, especially at my weight. If my gf wants to talk chit I'll let her do it to a point before pulling her away. If some guy gets in her face? I'm either gonna do the responsible thing and get the bouncer or pick him up and slam his phucking neck into the concrete.
What do you weigh… 190 lbs? Bench maybe 275 lbs? Lol. You have no idea what it's like walking around as big and as strong as someone like me. First of all, 95% of men walk in fear of you, and 95% of the other 5% of men are just retarded.
Literally the last 3 altercations I've been in with other males ended with me giving them one back hand slap and knocking them to the ground (I'm terrified of hitting most men and either killing them or putting them into a coma)
Any type of altercation, verbal etc. whether it involves girls I know or guys I know just mildly amuse me as I know I can step in and regulate the situation in a split second if things get serious.
Take your tiny, wanna be, hard pretend phaggot ass elsewhere pussy.
Jackson Brooks
No he wouldn't, he'd dance around him and kick him in the end and joints, which the mountain isn't trained or use to taking.
My ex boss was 5'9, 11 1/2 stone or 73 kg and battered the head bouncer of our local town night club. He was 6'4 , 18 stone nig. My ex boss was, at the time, training in Dave O'Donnells gym in elephant and castle when mma first came to the UK proper.
Isaiah Parker
Top fucking kek, do people actually believe this.
He can oneshot you in the face while he proceeds to dodge you for several minutes first.
Dexterity and Endurance is far more important then your bulky ass.
Most bodybuilders that are on roids can't even scratch their own back.
Thomas Hughes
> midgets actually believe this
Oliver Murphy
>midgets think sucker punch K.O means that dexterity matters When will they learn?
Joseph Wilson
Not quite sure there Jim but I'd let that girl punch me with her vagina... Sexually.
