Yes, his ground game is still a huge question mark. We saw what happened when a wrestler was able to get him down, and it wasn't pretty. All of the 4 guys you mentioned also had either really strong wrestling or BJJ, so they were far more rounded than Conor is. If he wants to be known as one of the greatest ever, he will have to improve his ground game or he will get exploited.

LOL @ Cutelaba painting himself green

I just saw the Don Frye speech. I love me some Don Frye.

I remember his time. He is why I only tune in for "big" fights now. Sport has gone soft to get legal.

Palhares is the dude that would hold submissions well after the tap...right?
Ya, and his coaches would be like "He no want to hurt peoples, he good guy really" after dude just tried to cripple someone.

He fights in some Italian scrub league now and I believe that's two fights in a row that have ended in brutal KOs for him.

It sounds like Eddie Bravo is planning on allowing open hand strikes from the ground in EBI 10.

Not sure how I feel about this.

It's a dumb idea and is going to substantially diminish the quality of jiu jitsu in his tournament. None of the best competitors are going to sign up to get hit in the head.

There's already a sport where striking and grappling are combined. If you want to run an MMA tournament, just do that. I don't think this middle ground is interesting or entertaining.
