Gordon looked unstoppable at Quintet 3 by the way. But he basically said Conor's jiujitsu was a lot better than he's been given credit for, even though he still can't defend the back but I think he was broken by that point, didn't manage to sweep or threaten with any subs but mitigated damage, recovered guard after mounted, conserved energy etc. he didn't absorb as much damage as guys who are less comfortable on the ground like edson because he made small adjustments, recovered his hooks, overhooked / underhooked the arms. If you take this Conor and put him up against Mendes again I think he looks much better on the ground. He already proved his improvement against Nate the second time around, and I think he will have improved even more by this point.

Tony for sure will give Khabib more problems, on the feet and on the ground, i think.
