![]() ![]() Hunter: Now THAT’S something we can agree on. FACTS!Īlso FACT: The Mountain would get an interim title for that fight. He still gets his head crushed all over the concrete though. But those are just semantics.ĭuane: All I’m saying is this: McGregor would need a spear with a blade dipped in poison. Granted, my core is made out of Cheetos and beer, and I can’t even lift my spirits after a Steelers loss. Look, we know from firsthand experience, I had 100 pounds on Cub Swanson and 130 on Hannah Scoggins and it did me no good. Hunter: I mean, if we’re going the “Oh, it’s just play-fighting” route, I could just as easily say, “You think McGregor would let him get his hands on him in real sparring?” I’m just taking what’s presented in the video. BM22JOeZK1- Conor McGregor October 31, 2015 Today I had a bare-knuckle fight off a 180kg monster called 'The Mountain' And since I know you are going to fish around for a puncher’s chance let me point out that Sequoia-sized neck of Bjornsson. You really think McGregor could get Mountain’s mitts off him if one of the strongest men in the world didn’t want to let go? Punch him all you want. And you know what happens? McGregor breaks the clinch and resets.ĭuane: Stress the word PLAY. ![]() In that video, The Mountain actually does tie up McGregor. This whole narrative began because The Mac Life posted footage of them play-sparring. The problem, though, is that your claim is No. Hunter: You know I’m a sucker for the SMESH. do you think a leg kick, push kick, or a jab is going to keep that damn beast off him?! The Mountain goes full Brock Lesnar bull-rush and snatches him up. I’ll flip it back to you on this: How does The Mountain close the distance with no background doing so - then what does he do once he’s there?ĭuane: He closes the distance by walking through everything the smaller McGregor would throw at him. Conor would manage the distance and destroy him with body shots and/or leg kicks. But at the end of the day, it is what it is, and he’s not a fighter. There’s more to it than just being big - and I’ll give you this: He is fuc*ing big. It’s not the type of resume that gives me any sort of confidence he’d hang with Conor in the realm of combat. Aside from that, he’s really good at picking shit up. Here’s the thing: The Mountain has an athletic background… playing Division I professional basketball in Iceland, where he averaged about seven points per game. And the world needs to know you’re wrong. Hunter: We’re arguing about it because you’re wrong. I don’t even know why we are arguing about this. Bjornsson would eventually get a hand on him and just smother the life out of McGregor. McGregor is a true fighter and martial artist, just as Bjornsson is a strongman/powerlifter. Now you know I love me some CMG, but the fact you disagreed with the notion that a beast of a human being like Bjornsson would crush McGregor in an actual fight has me wondering if you need therapy. ![]() I texted you that ish because The Mountain was confirming he would indeed have smashed McGregor “Viper Pumpkin” style had they actually fought. Are you insane?ĭuane Finley: There are clear clinical issues where I’m concerned, but let’s not get off point here. I can’t believe you texted me this morning and took the strongman’s side. (Spoiler alert) No, the giant of a man known as The Mountain couldn’t beat Conor McGregor in a real fight. This question is like Oberyn Martell: a no-brainer. Hunter Homistek: I can’t believe we’re here. ![]() Today's debate: Could Hafthor Julius Bjornsson Actually Beat Conor McGregor? Round 1: Debate! Finley, sounding off from beautiful Indianapolis, Indiana. So when our fearless Senior Editor, Duane Finley, let it slip that he believes popular "Game of Thrones" character “The Mountain,” professional strongman Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, could actually beat Conor McGregor in a fight, we knew it was time to chuck off the (metaphorical) gloves and throw down (using big-boy words).Īs part of an ongoing series, "The Counter,” we'll tackle various subjects within the sport of MMA, settling scores in a back-and-forth, one-on-one format.ĭebating out of the blue corner will be myself, Hunter Homistek, riffing out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. FloCombat believes all matters can be settled through healthy debate. ![]()
