I meant to upgrade Conor before this one. Worked out well in the end. I could not be more confused or shocked by the 0 standing strikes thrown though. Connor isn't a ground fighter and I would have strongly advised him to stand the fuck up here vs. griffin. fighting Tyson on the ground is silly. he was lucky.
