Heavy Hands 50 - UFC 189: McGregor vs Mendes Full Breakdown

Connor Ruebusch and Patrick Wyman analyze the main event of UFC 189 from every angle, and give their predictions for the exciting matchup.

On this week's episode of Heavy Hands, co-host Patrick Wyman and I readily agreed on two things: 1) we love when we get the chance to dedicate an entire episode to a single, fascinating fight; and 2) Mendes vs McGregor is absolutely one of those fights.

Over the course of the episode we analyzed the styles of both fighters. First, McGregor's fondness for pressure, the purpose of his frequent spinning kicks, his intelligent use of the southpaw jab, and his ever-increasing volume of strikes.
