    Big Nog (240lbs) vs Bob Sapp (350lbs). Big Nog won but he had a lot of trouble with Sapp.

    Big Nog is a heavyweight champ/legend and weighs 70/80lbs more than McGregor and The Mountain weighs 70-80lbs more than a 'supplemented' Bob Sapp.

    This only goes one way for me. He just needs to grab a hold of McGregor and it gets bad pretty quickly.


    Big Nog weighed under 230 in his Pride days. McGregor is easily 170-175 at the moment. So more like 50 pound difference, not 70 - 80.

    And Cro Cop ****ed Sapp up. (And Prime Cro Cop was 215ish) Also, Sapp actually had some technique. Why are you assuming Thr Mountain has any? Obviously if he does it becomes a lot more dangerous.

    But this conversation is silly and I'm going to stop now.

    Anyone that says Mcgregor would beat the mountain in a serious fight clearly has never fought anyone bigger than themselves... the mountain as unskilled as he is would maul mcgregor using sheer brute force, there is a point where skill can negate size and strenght but not when theres 120kgs in the difference its the equivalent of a grow man vs a child regardless of the childs skill it simply wouldnt have the power.

    All Conor would have to do is move move move, strike strike strike, The Mountain would very soon tire out, if The Mountain connected though, anywhere really, it'd be game over

    That is the key to victory. A points win. Or late stoppage via The Mopuntain gassing. Very difficult thing to do I would imagine. One error from Conor that sees the mountain land a shot, or get a hold of him would likely result in death!:p

    All the mountain would have to do is not move, knowing he would tire out, wait for mcgregor to get close then grab him and maul him, smash him off the ground, break his neck ect, the power difference is huge

    Maybe.

    Wouldn't happen vs a muddleweight though.

    Yeah id imagine middleweight, light heavy, would all have the mix of skill and power to beat someone that size

    I also know from training myself that a fit and decent (good purple belt level) 75kg guy can DEMOLISH a 100-110kg beginner (no technique, gases almost instantaneously etc).

    Size matters but skill makes up for an awful lot of that vs a skilless opponent.
    Absolutely, 100-120kg unskilled will be manhandled by a 75kg purple belt. They just lack grappling fundamentals. Even a good blue would have little trouble.
    But the biggest game changer for grappling is rolling with strikes. If the beginner is allowed to strike the skill gap closes in my experience.

    I wouldn't fancy trying to berimbolo the mountain with strikes in play :rolleyes:

    TBH, it's still a discussion of fighting which means is more relevant than 90% of the rest of the thread

    If he could beat Sir Gregor Clegane that easily can you imagine what he will do with Aldo?

    A punch to the liver would sort him out, in my professional opinion.

    Totes, bigger liver, bigger target. Poor guy has no idea what's coming if he ever fought a blue belt on da streetz.

    Look lads, there's no contest! One of them doesn't even have super powers! he's just a rich billionaire who knows a little fighting. Does he have lasers in his eyes? No! Is he faster than a speeding bullet? No!

    However, if there was Kryptonite involved that's another story. Maybe he could wear gloves laced with Kryptonite.

    Or, more importantly, he could reveal some dark secrets about him, like a weird sexual thing, and beat him in the most important arena of all.... the court of public opinion!

    Am I doing it right?
