How would this play out if it were a real fight? (srs)

[MikeyPlan]

No rules, just good old fashioned bare knuckle brawling. Wondering if fighting skills or pure power would come out on top.

[IvanNorge]

The Mountain would have smashed Connor's head in like this:



















Not srs Connor would probably take the Mountain down and beat the chit outta him

[fleeceitout]

Obviously McGregor would get crushed.

There's a certain point where pure size and strength overcomes skill.

Probably yeah the mountain provided he's aggressive and savage enough

Fights have a huge luck element though and all it would take is one perfectly placed blow to rock and open him up and it could go either way

noticed that you said size AND strength and not just strength. so for someone like Eddie Hall who's 6 inches shorter than the Mountain but is currently the strongest man in the world, would he have less of a chance or would the outcome be the same?

Ask oberyn martell lol

But srsly Gregor can avoid all his attacks but there is a point where he has to get close to attack halfthor. Halfthor has the greater reach and i can see those huge fists doing some serious damage.

[Singularity7]

McGregor and i would bet quite a lot of money on it.

I meant more like mass. Dude is 300+ lbs, McGregor walks around at about 170 lbs.

Can't remember exactly what the video was, but I was watching either a power lifter of bodybuilder roll with a black or brown belt in jiu jitsu. Bodybuilder had about 200 lbs on him and was was significantly stronger and the jui jitsu guy couldn't do **** to him despit the guy being a complete novice. He'd just power out of everything he tried and would just lay on him and pin him down.

Skill only overcomes size and strength up to a certain point.

[BetaAsPhuck]

A bare knuckle boxing match?

Probably the same outcome.

That's still a ruleset that unfavours the mountain.

A genuine no holds barred fight (nothing off limits)... I would put money on the mountain.

The greater the difference in skill, the less size and strength matter. In a no rules fight Conor would do what most people his size would do...attack the legs. Not just to hurt him, but to make him aware of the attack. Set a trap, feint an attack to the leg, and when he bites come over the top. A chin is a chin, and a good well timed shot will put any man down irregardless of size.

not a boxing match. what i meant was a no holds barred fight (no weapons, of course). guess i didn't make that clear enough.

Gymcel powerlifter strength matters very little against a good fighter. Hall would have far less chance than the mountain. The reason I'd probably back the mountain in a fight to the death is that he's extremely mobile and athletic for his size. He clearly knows a bit about fighting and would be very hard to hurt given his huge bulk.....

As badbl00d said though a chin is a chin and you'd be a fool to write off connor's chances

[Lastrepbrah]

How is this serious question? Did you not watch the video? You can clearly see the mountain letting go of McGregor after he ate those halfmysize punches. If the mountain didn't let go of McGregor he would've choked slammed him through the mat

interesting. yeah, i guess that amount of mass feels much more natural on someone with as big a frame as the Mountain than it is on someone considerably shorter like Hall.

Any hold at all on any part of his body and halfthor could just pick mcgregor up and toss him into the next zip code. Mcgregor is smaller than the dumbbells halfthor uses. Hell I can handle 140lb dumbbells pretty easily. I'd pick mcgregor up and throw him into a storm drain headfirst. He'd get plastered. He couldn't generate any leverage on a full grown man.

[EmmaW4tson]

Bets way to knock someone out is the 1-2 to the chin and side of the head. Can he reach that far sufficiently to get power through without being blocked?

His tactics would be to loosen him up by moving a lot like you'd do for all huge opponents but that depends on the area.

Good point.

The dude has size, strength, aggression, athleticism, and fighting ability. In an all out fight... Connor still has a decent chance due to his pro skill level, but I'd put my money on the mountain.

yeah, i saw that. calm your tits. to be fair though, none of them were going hard. they're both literally just frolicking around. hence the question.

[Singularity7]

In that case I would put more money on McGregor just simply because of his kicks being such an important role in distance playing and winding opponents effectively.

Why do people keep saying things like a chin is a chin...

There is a big difference between landing a shot on a 150 pound guy and knocking them out, and hitting a 300 pound athletic guy and dropping them. Having larger frames, neck and back muscles means you can absorb shots on your chin better.

I'd be more than happy to show any of you manlets how this plays out. I'll even gopro it.

If Thor could grab and grip onto Conor within the first 3 minutes, its over for Conor. If this doesn't happen Thor would get too winded from trying.

You're missing one essential factor and that it's clear that the "Mountain" has no striking background, and he isn't going to brace for that shot. He hasn't had the "blinking" trained our of him, so he's more than likely going to close his eyes, and get hit with a shot he doesn't see.

There's a lot more to it than that, although you're not wrong. Big thick skull and a strong short neck are a big help....

However some big guys have glass chins and vice versa. It's a mixture of genetics and experience tbh. The #1 factor in taking a punch is seeing it coming and reacting preemptively by tucking up and rolling with it. Many fighters learn to this timing instinctively but it's very unlikely that someone inexperienced will vs a skilled opponent. So his size doesn't mean he can't be dropped at all. When I first started boxing I got dropped all the time in sparring now my chin is solid af even if I get caught a hummer

That's probably true but the bigger question is how does he respond to strikes?
Although opponents were similar weight. Brock Lesnar had problems dealing with strikers and getting hit when he first entered, was a specimen, was juiced, even had training prior. He got stiff and panicked a lot when in fire fights.
