I mean, in theory, Mountain doesn't even need to know how to throw a punch. He can just grab that little elfs skull like an apple

It's a little scary how fast "the mountain" is for his size
Thekingofbeans
Being big doesn't necessarily make you slow. That is TV.
megantron
At first he looked really slow then he moved a bit more and I was shocked.
SIahtz
He was a profesional basketball player before he became a strongman.
Rictavius
Now imagine full plate armor with a giant mace.
DatDarthCaedus
Also the fact that Björnsson is 6ft9in (206cm) tall and The Mountain in the books an unrealistic 8ft (244cm)...
DAFUQisaLOMMY
He started off as a basketball player in his younger years, he got into weight-lifting after his knee got fucked
BigAZNMan
Tall just means slightly less coordinated. He's a powerlifter, which explosive power is a huge part of.
TJLaserShepard
Just mean you don't seen a lot of athletes like him. Dudes an animal

As someonewho powerlifted and trained for my strongman card before I tore my ACL, I agree. Powerlifting isn't as fun either.

I love how he's just taking Connors body shots like nothing
OjosLocos68
I recommend watching the full vid.
TotallyNotJaimeLannister
I don't think he was putting full force into those
HiddenVangaurd
True but still He is like completely ignoring them
TotallyNotJaimeLannister
With his background as a strong man I wouldn't be surprised if he had hella core that he tightens before the blows to dampen them
Mexinaco
There is no strenght in those hits whatsoever.
Nigbac
There's no point in arguing it because neither of us can prove it, but I would be willing to bet that fuck all would happen if McGregor 1/2
Nigbac
2/2 hit him as hard as he could. If his trunk muscles won't herniated when walking with 1550 lbs on its back, I think it could absrb any hit

Like watching a big brother and a younger sibling do battle- you can tell the mountain could have essentially thrown him at any time

The mountain isn't a trained fighter. We doesn't have the proper timing.
stevetehpirate
I would be greatly amused to see the mountain toss a UFC champ like a fucking ragdoll.
TheDanishInquisition
The mountain could've snapped him in half
TacoPrime
He could have smashed his head in.

Or like "beefy dude wrestling smaller bottom before anal pounding" porn

Or eaten him like a twizzler :O
JRudi
The mountain couldn't even get a proper grip on him
gtmiller
He held back, like a lot. He had him several times and just let go. His stance is causual on top of that. All respect to McGregor, but he
gtmiller
would just get trampled.
JeffGodofBiscuits
not without hurting him, anyway.
saturnscape
You're right, they are wrong. Mcgreggor's a wirey little sumbitch, and he would likely win this fight.
LearningOnImgur
Yeah, but McGregor also could've used is full force punches, or punched his face. Mountain was wide ass open. It'd be interesting to see.
AnAverageBrazillian
McGregor would be tired before he could KO mountain even with full force punches. The only hope is hitting the head
undungubungu
He'd have to hit him right on the sweet spot, and under no circumstances come into the mountains reach. Cus then he'd be dead.

It's like when you go back and watch Lesnar fight Heath Herring... It was scary, balls tingle scary, how fast he comes out of his corner
TheDivineUsersub
I guess there just comes a point in size and strength where you're so used to hauling heavy on top of your own weight, you become -
LearningOnImgur
Dude is a freak of nature. There's a TON of "ifs" for Lesnar, but if he would've easily been the most dominant Heavyweight for years.
IAmGodot
If only he didn't turtle when getting tapped in the face. Loved watching Lesnar fight though, shame about the diverticulitis
HypocriticalBastard
I don't think I've seen anyone half as ferocious in the octagon.
MrE158
That's always been the really scary thing about Lesnar - so much speed for such a big guy. Really fast hands too.
undungubungu
Its worth considering that he was that dominant in pre-USADA days. Dude was also juiced to the gills. Hilarious to watch though
GrandPoobahDeDoinkOfAllOfThisAndThat
Link?
clinthxc
Oh yeah. That was scary too. Big guys like that shouldn't move that quick.
JeffGodofBiscuits
I quite literally jumped back in my chair watching that fight
okfella
There's a reason for weight classes in contact sports. This is one of them.
Faradesti
Well, Conor did SAY he'd fight in all weight classes. And said he was the MOST active fighter in the UFC, which is bull.
pippen1001
Dude do you not see the difference in reach
Faradesti
What does that have to do with what I said?
GTimgur
Well, contact sports where weight makes a huge difference, yeah.
Cela84
If you watch the whole video, Conor wins. Now yes, Mountain doesn't know how to do anything, but skill wins out.
Storyainthadnomoral
This is one of a reason?
BurtReynoldsSaysHeLovesYou
Bjornsson's not a trained fighter. Also, if you watch the original video, he gets winded VERY quickly. He's huge, but that's about it.
ashhound
Yeah, in the gif above, you can tell who the pro is very fast
ChaosandChaos
Not really. Neither one of them are going full.
Sheepyhead
There's a saying "When two equally skilled fighters fight, the biggest one wins"
Unverified
Key word is "equally" skilled
Sheepyhead
Yes, that's why we have weight classes
andergriff
the point is these two aren't equally skilled.
Sheepyhead
Well one is an MMA fighter and the other is a weightlifter, I'd say their skillsets lie in different areas
Burritotacotime
Trying to find the small guys? This comment is how you find the small guys.
justpointingouttheobvious
A part of me wishes we would revert back to the UFC 1 days, where there is not weigh classes. Just mayhem.
rookie23
And a reason to wear helmets.
WhenTheBufferDropsAcid
nope. helmets don't protect from brain damage. more decoration than anything else
PascalsBookie
there's probably less brain damage in mma than boxing, lighter gloves, more fight stopping cuts, and much less head punches per fight.
Mimsey
Also a reason for drug testing. The Mountain is on tons of them. He's naturally pretty scrawny for his height.
ImDarkerThanYou
There should be height classes in basketball. Goodbye.
stoffo
There's also a reason for drug tests in those sports :P
stoffo
I wonder if I am getting downvoted because imgur users think Mr. Mountain is clean
HenaK9
No professional at any sport is 100% clean.
stoffo
I am talking about steroids, that's not a minor thing. Strongmen competitions have little to no drug testing, they don't even pretend.
HenaK9
Noone claims strongmen don't use drugs to get resaults. Every pro does. Its not coincidense every pro skier has astma diagnosed.
MetalSkeletal
I mean yeah. When you restrict the choices for a competitive sport then weight becomes much more important. But a good hitter can be small.
JeffreyDohmerWithAnO
Absolutely, Joanna Jedrzejczyk is one of the best strikers in the UFC and she's a strawweight (115lb). I'm 6'2 260 and wouldn't go near her

For real.. Connor just cant do much, he's so small in comparison.

Every shot that Connor is hitting him with is not a real punch. Also the mountain isn't really trying to pick him up. Who knows.

MetalSkeletal
Neither are going hard. A small guy can knock out a big guy and a big guy can squash and manhandle a little one.
JinXLeD
I like that you chose the word "manhandle"
CirB
Yeah. The trick is getting close enough for the knockout shot without getting smashed by the big guy.
orangedoorhinge
as good a fighter mcgregor is I don't think he's knocking out thor anytime soon but if thor pressed his weight advantage conor's pretty dead
override367
Normally true but the I'm pretty sure this guy could actually crush a human skull in his bare hands
undungubungu
Yes, but the chances of that happening gets smaller, the bigger the difference in weight.
Whydontyougofuckyourself
I believe Connor stated that hed never fight him in a fair fight. He would have died during that one headlock if that was hafthor's intent
GNious
Sure, but he's no-where going all at it, and 1 good ("lucky") hit and he'll get the mountain down where he can deal with him.
JeffGodofBiscuits
kind of makes you really appreciate the original "Ultimate Fighter"

In a real fight, 1 shot to the chin is all conor needs. If it's a big guy who also is a skilled fighter, then yes weight makes a difference
PedestrianElectrobastard
Weight still makes a difference. It's not a guarantee, but you're gonna have a harder time getting that one shot in against a bigger guy.

I'd rather fight a big guy instead of someone my size
PedestrianElectrobastard

Unverified
I take it most of you never stepped foot into a gym
TheyHunger
A kick along a knee's horizontal axis will drop someone no matter how big they are, but permanently crippling your opponent is bad in sports
dietderpsy
Connor would get hammered, force and weight does matter in a fight that us why we have weight classes.
TheyHunger
To be fair, they said, "real fight". I'm assuming they didn't mean sport fighting in which case whoever's willing to cripple the other wins.
dietderpsy
And if both are willing the heavier guy will win.
TheyHunger
No, the faster guy will win. They're both playing, so I'm not sure which one that is. You don't need to be a hulk to gouge someone's eyes.
Unverified
No. Put on a pair of gloves and then talk to me.
