I think there was a snuffed take-down attempt in the second after McGregor got it to the feet again but it's not hard to defend against a guy blowing out his arse. Mind Mendes had about 10 days prep too. Eddie has had a full camp with Mark Henry who is fucking excellent.
I seem to recall the Mendes fight differently then, i seem to remember Mendes constantly trying to go for the takedown but Mcgregor dictating the fight on his feet. But aye you're right, he didn't have a full camp and wasn't prepared properly.
Does mcgregor claim his ground game is good? Never seen him really talk about that side and every time i've seen him fight he's fought looking for the early KO.
