So Frankie is a volume puncher (possibly point fighter)?
The Diaz Brothers have great hands/boxing. There's just no significant power behind them.
There's nothing wrong with not being a knock out artist. Mayweather is a great boxer and will go down as a great (maybe not the GOAT). Not everyone is going to be Tyson.

U don't have to have "ko" power to knock cats out. Speed kills and so dies accuracy, not to mention if u don't see a punch coming.
If u think about the fact that Frankie who's at 145 now knocked down Ben twice who's at 170 for the time being...that says something
Also look at it this way of ur looking for the knock out it won't come, kinda like last night. Chad was slinging bombs and couldn't connect cleanly but Conor kept hitting him and put him away.
I would say Chad has bigger ko power than Conor but who got knocked out last night

Here's what I'll say about Frankie, without labeling him.
Very few, if any, fighters move like Frankie in MMA.
Most "power" punchers "sit" on their punches to generate that power.
Frankie doesn't. He's always moving. Always looking for the angles and the openings and not looking to load up. He sacrifices power for speed and technique.
Conversely, a lot of MMA strikers don't have great technique or footwork (as has been mentioned a few times in here recently). So they overcompensate by throwing power shots.
Then you have guys like Anderson or Robbie who are blessed with both.
Diaz Bros. are different. THEY are volume punchers. They don't use their feet like Edgar does at all. They use punches to create openings.
Another thing we have to remember is the guys fighting at the TOP of the foodchain over and over again are always fighting tough comp. And guys that will not be that easy to KO.

Now that "altercation" between them looks really staged.

I want Lawler/Condit.
2 of my longtime favorite fighters in the same weight class that have never squared off.

Looks like those rumors circulating of Conor having a torn MCL coming into yesterday's fight may be true.

I would have assumed at least a 4 month wait but yeah 6 months is a long timeMan, that's forever away.
I guess Conor isn't gonna get his wish to fight on that Dublin card.. and I wonder how this TUF will work out while he's preparing for a title fight. I wouldn't want to be doing that

yeah, kinda OD for him if he's doing both.
sucks 'cause I waited close to 6 months the first time Aldo/Conor was announced now gotta wait 6 more
