02-6611-0142-1 posted:McGregor's knowledge of the position is probably not a tenth of Ryan's. The best publically available instructional material available on the 50/50 guard is a 4 hour DVD set released by Ryan Hall himself, and it was six years ago, which means he's probably made a lot of tweaks and improvements since then. McGregor attended a seminar of Ryan's where he went over the 50/50 guard (and a number of other things). This was maybe 2 years ago now?

For those who didn't watch, what this actually turned out to be was Conor telling the dude between rounds "You're winning on the feet, stay on the feet!" after which the guy would go out, instantly shoot a double, and pull guard the second there was even a trace of a sprawl on the part of his opponent. It was actually kind of funny watching him relentlessly do the opposite of what he was told at every conceivable turn.

Yes, he kept yelling "stand, stand, loving stand up, loving hell stand up" which is what the guy should have been doing, but he never really gave him any guidance on how to achieve that and the guy clearly had no clue how to do it himself. It's probably why Conor said "I'm not going to coach you", but then he went and yelled over the actual cornermen the whole time anyway. The guy wasn't even looking for underhooks or really doing much with his hips and Conor certainly wasn't telling him to do those things.

Conor was telling him a lot of things. He got frustrated after the dude shot in the second round, then again after his big gently caress you in the third, but Conor was giving technical advice even after that, although very sparsely. I don't blame him. His fighter was on his back because he didn't listen. The dude pulled guard twice.

Also it rules that they have a picture in picture window with a McGregor cam so we can watch him even when he's not in the scene on the big screen.

If he was shouting technical advice, I certainly couldn't hear it over any of the other sound in the gym. He doesn't seem to be great at the cornerman thing, but he's kinda making it hard for the people he designated to be cornermen when he draws the fighter's attention by pacing around and shouting at him. Also, his impeccable posture when strutting angrily is hilarious.

Ironically enough part of his technical advice was about posture. I agree with you about shouting over his corner men though, either corner or don't.

Finally watching episode 3 and Conor melting down during the fight is simultaneously the worst and best thing. Especially paired with Urijahs calm and generally helpful instructions. Instead Conor is alternately yelling stand up and calling his fighter a bitch. Le Saboteur fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Sep 25, 2015 |

quote:Artem Lobov (11-10 MMA), The Ultimate Fighter Team Europe contestant and SBG Ireland fighter, claims his teammate Conor McGregor flirted with retirement because he was struggling to get into the UFC. The Russian also said matchmaker Sean Shelby told Lobov to pad his record if he wanted to receive a call from the UFC. Do you remember that gangster movie trope where one guy is a rising star and he tries to bring a friend from the sticks along with him, and he turns out to be nothing but a liability?

He comes across worse than usual on this show because he has that habit of "Says a thing" *pause* *other guy hasn't said anything yet* "Says thing again" It's something a lot of people do when they're talking, but when you're talking poo poo on camera it makes you look terrible

Yeah, calling your own fighter a bitch in front of your entire team is pretty rough. But also, Conor and his corner telling him to keep it on his feet going into to the second round and then he immediately shoots a single is one of the funniest things I've seen happen during a fight in The Ultimate Fighter.

Hey that's fine, and I get that but say "Guys, you have to listen to us, we are Coaches for a reason. Sasha, when you were standing up you were winning, let's fix the holes in your ground game so next time you can stand up!" I had a supervisor who "supervised" like Conor coaches and I was miserable because I felt like a piece of poo poo 24/7, that's probably why thos touched such a nerve with me.
