Why McGregor will never be an MMA great.
This is mixed martial arts people. You can't be a great, goat or a legend without being well rounded in all areas. All of these fighters, who are frequently mentioned as all-time greats are good with their hands and also solid on the ground.
- Jon Jones
- GSP
- Anderson Silva
- Fedor
- Khabib
McGregor is a one-dimensional boxer and as Khabib has proven, Conor's even over-rated in that area.

Is MMA now a mainstream sport? | Are you impressed with the advancement of MMA?
(Ladies) and Gentleman, we have come a long way from the days of No-holds-barred fighting, catch wrestling, Vale Tudo, Pancrase, Shooto and PRIDE.

Fighters that got flash KO'd but still won?
I'm sure everyone has their own definition of what qualifies as a flash KO, but the first ones that come to mind are
Kongo/Barry
Edgar/Maynard 2
Wand/Franklin
Bisping/Silva
I'm sure that there are plenty of others that I'm forgetting.

Which MMA fighters would do well in gladiator battles?
Ancient sport of Pankration:
Only rules are no biting or eye gouging (In Sparta these techniques were allowed). Match ends when your opponent is crippled or killed, or submits. Most famous competitor is Dioxippus - a man so feared in the ring he won the 336 B.C. Olympics by default when nobody wanted to face him. Defeated a fully armed and armored Macedonian general with a club while fighting naked.

My pick: Lyoto Machida (yes, I'm a biased fan)
Let's have a closer look at his record (very subjective):
