I've been going back and watching a lot of my DVRd UFCs from the past several months and just watched Mirsad Bektic vs Darren Alkins and HOLY SHIT is this guy scary.
I mean I couldn't believe how Elkins came back for the KO win in the 3rd round after probably getting 2 10-8 rounds in a row but he was COVERED in blood and there were multiple points in the fight where he looked done and where most guys would have been.
I'd seriously consider it one of the best comebacks I've seen in a long time, maybe one of the best ever.
He'd been undefeated at 11-0 before that and his takedowns and grappling and ground and pound looked sick, and his striking decent as well.
Honestly, had he been more conservative in that 3rd round I think he'd have beaten Elkins.
So where do you think this guy will end up ranking as he fights more top Featherweights like Bermudez, Jeremy Stephens, Yair Rodriguez, Korean Zombie, Cub Swanson, etc??
Featherweight has a lot of killers but he should make for great fights against a lot of them and I wonder who they'll give him next.
I'd like to see him fight Stephens or Bermudez next.

Hypetrain derailed. Another Sage, imo.

Accurate or am I reaching with my comparisons?

Also, I don't really think Conor usually fades, although yeah, he did once against Diaz and against Floyd, but he's still sick. I just found this and thought you'd like it though. By far the craziest gi choke, or really any choke ever, that I've ever seen: www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/videos/video-fighter-put-sleep-absolutely-insane-loop-choke-1/

Maybe I should be embarrassed to say I have zero idea how to do that choke lol. I'm almost entirely a no-gi guy these days and my gi chokes leave much to be desired. I almost feel like there should be a seperate ranking system for both and maybe I'd just be a purple in gi and brown in no-gi, but I trust my instructor's view. Gotta start putting that gi back on and learning this stuff. And yeah, I saw clips of the Brandou fight and that was crazy.

Aggressive low guard passers(knee slides etc)would think twice with loop/baseball chokes. They work pretty fast too. Gotta do lots of chin ups, pull ups & deadlifts for that grip strength.

He was fading with Chad too. Hell, he fades as he's trying to conserve energy LOL
I really like Conor but his gassing is why I wouldn't pick him to win this tournament. Its also why I bet under 9.5 rounds with Floyd. I knew Conor would gas out.
