It was that Chad didn't have the cardio to go one full round - even though he trains year round.
The body shots were irrelevant. Oh wait!
If you can't take those shots, maybe fighting isn't your thing.
That's the issue. Chad has lots of cardio and does train year round.
Those strikes were not enough to kill his cardio.
So something else must have done it....
As I said above, you should experience a strike to the body before you gauge how debilitating they can be. Right now, you're absolutely making a fool of yourself.

Yup.
"every shot I was like, ‘eh-eh.' That's what I kept saying. ‘Nope. Nope. Eh-eh.' So I felt I was preserving energy, being efficient. Then when the opportunity arose to go back to the feet, I attacked the gut." -McGregor
ThinkMMA - It is pretty obvious. Connor picked him apart on the feet when he could and capitalized on it.
Does picking someone apart on the feet include spending the majority of the fight on your back eating elbows?
Didn't think so.
In this fight yes.
I like how people are using this as some sort of knock on Connor.
He survived underneath the best wrestler in the division, fought through mount, crucifix, multiple guillotines and chad's overhand right.
If anything we should be praising that, because every single other fighter that has stepped in front of mendes, excluding also of course, didn't survive that.
Connor did what he said he was going to do.
He dealt with the wrestling, got back to his feet and delivered a tko.
Very impressive.
He survived because Chad let him up.
Ok you are clearly trolling, I'm sure your smarter than this. It was a great fight and both guys showed tremendous heart. I did think Connor looked mentally exhausted but he powered on.
PunchesandKicks - The two strikes to the body set up the knockout. If you rewatch it you'll see mendes can't catch his breath and doesn't put his hands back up. You sir, are a dumb person
What I saw was Mendes put his hands down and stick his chin out. The reason why...I think we all know.
Can we just ban all the idiots claiming Chad threw the fight? Seriously if that's not fighter bashing what is? This place is retarded.
