So my next discussion thread comes about the man garnering the most hype - Conor McGregor. And I just want to know what people's thoughts about this guy are.

After watching his performance against Max Holloway in Boston, I have to admit that I was impressed with his ability to dominate everywhere. But his unorthodox standup seems a little... sloppy. He wasn't sitting on his punches and those ridiculous kicks he threw seem hard to plan for but they are counterable. His ground game seems like it could use a little work, however he was really good in being top heavy and overall I have to say he did a good job at showing up and giving Max Holloway a fight. But I see a lot of holes in his game that could really be taken advantage of.

So what do you think, Punks. Is Conor McGregor worth all the hype he's been getting over the last little while?
