Re-read the post, how can he even get him into that position. A guy that large, it doesn't matter if you block, your going to get wrecked if your 140lbs.
An imanari roll goes right into a heel hook on a standing person. He doesn't need to get him to the ground first. If you bend someone's ankle the right way, they are going to the ground. Its instinctive to fall against the pressure being put on your ankle.
Maybe against another trained fighter. Zion ain't gonna be firing off a soccer kick when he has no idea what's happening. That requires instinct that only comes from being in fights. Most likely he freezes and locks his legs just like everyone else when someone dives at his ankle.
Regardless, after the first few exchanges swinging at air, Zion will be gassed and ripe for whatever Conor wants to do to him.
