Royce Gracie vs Conor Mcgregor
« on: January 17, 2017, 05:53:31 AM »
Gracie's only two losses in MMA came from strikes.

Could Gracie get Conor to the ground?
Could Gracie handle a few punches from Conor?

Discuss.

Royce punches softer than many women.  He was successful in the early UFC because everyone in the martial arts community were clueless about submission grappling. The game has just evolved to far. Conor is skilled at staying on his feet and Royce is no master of taking people to the mat. Even on the ground Conor would pound him.  Royce is a legend and should have one of the biggest areas in a future hall of fame building. The game has just evolved.

I think that Royce would've beaten Wallid in UFC action.

And McGregor would've destroyed both of those guys.


Imagine McGregor vs Sakuraba. That would've been fun.

Royce looked good against people with no knowledge of BJJ, Conor is a brown belt in BJJ who trains with Gunnar Nelson one of Europe's best black belts. He would massacre Royce.

No, he's too old and he's too first generation.

Elaborate. Not Gracie now. Gracie in his prime.
