You really cannot compare anything to an MMA fighter. Conor sparred actually with The Game Of Thrones giant. If he wanted to he could of pick him apart.

One clean shot to the liver and Zion is done. One takedown and Zion is done. Stand up, Zion gets KOD stiff cold. Anywhere you pick a fight Conor dominates him. NOW, bring in a Pro UFC Fighter of Zions size and McGregor dies in 5 sec


Prove it. No one has ever seen that video




57M saw that, but still thats mostly fooling around. Regardless Zion isn't even in the realm of size that the mountain is.

I'm 99.9% sure he was being sarcastic since that video has been posted probably 10 times in this thread already haha.

Also muscles don’t make a chin, Zion could have a glass jaw for all we know.

Also how does he react to being punched in the face, so many question marks so Connor would be a HUGE favorite

Agree, plus McGregor likes to talk trash with crazy confidence before he fights you for a reason. He wants too lower your confidence and second guess yourself before fighting him throwing you off your game.

He would have Zion crapping himself before a punch was even thrown regardless.

hey guys do not mess with train fighters. If you ever square up with them, they really make you relatively slow. Did you remember that show"bully beat down"?

McGregor's one of the best fighters on earth.

Zion's a sweet kid who has probably never been in a fight in his life.

McGregor easily.

cdubbz wrote:This is from the JJ Redick podcast where they somehow brought this up for some reason. Pretty hilarious. JJ picked his Zion Teammate to win.

Zion Williamson is 19yo 6’6 285lbs

Connor McGregor is 31yo 5’9 180lbs *

Who wins in a 3 round 3min MMA fight?

Does Zion just pick him up and sit on him?
Does McGregor put a finger submission on Zion?
Does Zion just push Connor off and wait for time to expire?


Please...

Connor is a killer. Zion is a basketball player with bulk. Connor will easily demolish Zion. Zion might try to wrestle Connor down but Connor is MMA fight and not a boxer. Zion will have his arms broken on the ground.

Not Yo Ham Lakers!

Ya this discussion should be sent to bed now. It shouldnt have needed a Youtube star KOing Nate Robinson to do it, but hopefully that is enough to put an end to this haha.

If people still think Zion wins after watching a youtuber knockdown and KO an elite athlete in Nate Robinson THREE TIMES you must be smoking something. Fighting skills matter and Nate had zero.

Size matters if two dudes are untrained.

As long as the trained fighter isn’t ridiculously small like a 150# dude against Shaq the trained fighter will win easily.

Size also matters, especially if you are going to get in something closer to a real fight, rather than a boxing match with all kinds of rules making it hard to exploit your size. A creature of Zion's size would literally have to get his hands on the little guy just once and he could pick him up clean off the ground and throw him against anything he wanted. Spikie him head first into the asphalt, whatever.

Fighters aren't gods. They have to obey the laws of physics too. If they didn't, we wouldn't have weight classes.

Nate was actually smaller than his opponent. Change two things: make the fight MMA, and make Nate 6'6 290lbs or whatever, and see what happens to his opponent all those times when Nate was clenching him.
