I would imagine...just a guess here. It would instill fearlessness in him. I mean you wrestle a bear Ieven a domesticated one) then is a human oppenent gonna razzle you much?

McGregor the guard pass attempts well for all of a minute before Khabib performed a slick transist

He soon found a home for his left hand, and began fending off Nurmagomedov's takedowns.
Fuelled by his thousands of countrymen in attendance at the T-Mobile, McGregor pressed forward like a man possessed and continued to land his 'Celtic Cross.'
Nurmagomedov began to feel 'The Notorious'' power too much for his liking and yet again attempted to bring the fight to the ground. Though he was unable to do so.

Nurmagomedov then managed to get to his feet and unleash a vicious barrage of strikes before attempting a kimura.

Wow.
That certainly didn't go the way I thought it would. I had hoped that Connor's training and strategy coming into this fight would be focused on the undeniable fact that he could not grapple with Khabib, and rather than fight his opponent's fight, rely on his strengths. I would have thought the training would be shoring up his take down defense and doing everything possible to keep the fight upright.
This is a Connor MacGreggor trademark flaw. He wants to prove he can beat a diversity of fighters at their own game. I guess it's an ego thing. All of his defeats came from abandoning his incredible striking skill and power and instead giving his opponent exactly what they need to beat him.
He needs a whole new corner behind him that won't keep sending him down murderer's row with his hands tied behind his back.
