'A true victory is to make your enemy see they were wrong to oppose you in the first place. To force them to acknowledge your greatness.' -Gul Dukat
Conor is a highly intelligent individual when it comes to combat. I watched his rise with many others since his debut against Marcus Brimage more than 4 years ago. When he demolished top 5 ranked Dustin Poirier in the first round with a single left hook, I knew this kid was dangerous. He is arguably the greatest featherweight of all time, he holds wins over the only two other men to have ever held the belt.
McGregor is a fierce karateka at heart. He is a sophisticated kicker with the timing and range finder of a sniper. He can land his left from any angle, and he will surely land on Floyd at some point. There are many aspects against the Notorious one in this bout, but his size, youth and confidence are the true X factors that can erase impossibility...
Conor must be himself in that ring to attain victory...if he at all tries to conform to the world Floyd sets up, he will dig his own grave. He must use what he knows best: slicing elbows, traps from southpaw (such as stepping on Floyd's lead foot), solid shots to the back of the temple. McGregor must play with the rules to even the odds, but he is intelligent enough to know this....nobody on this planet can outbox Mayweather!
From Aldo to Alvarez, Conor has usurped many thrones. He is a technician, and a storyteller in the octagon. His skills are always dazzling no matter the arena, and he will always show up to fight. The nature of McGregor is what appeals so many...his apathy to danger, and appetite for destruction.
Good luck Conor, the world is watching.
