Is McGregor overpowered?

[UFCBlackbelt]

I know he has low stamina, but his ground game seems pretty good. It seems that if you want to try to box with Conor you are bound to lose unless you have some low ranked guy who whiffs all his strikes. All im facing is Conor McGregors who aim for the body and use head movement

Compared to a lot of fighters in the game he has excessive stats and moves.

Yes, because the game mechanics work well with his stats. Everything McGregor is good at is the meta, pretty much.

His chin is too strong Imo. I can't recount how many times I've rocked Conor players. Let's not forget that Diaz who really is no power puncher rocked him easily. Mayweather who also really isn't known to be a KO artist rocked him as well.

McGs power on low stamina is also not right but I think that will be patched next week.

I agree with this but he isnt overpowered. Its just that its a stand-up meta right now. His grappling stats are average to below average.

16 LWs have better or the same TDD stats. His sub O is below average. His top game and sub D are average. His takedowns are far below average.

His standup stats feel right to me other than maybe his head movement is a bit high.

IMO, he feels right. He's a two time champ and already a likely UFC HOF. He should be one of the best fighters in the game and if he's one of the best fighters in the game, people will use him a lot.

I think he’s fine where he’s at. With the new patch focusing on grappling (hopefully) he should be easier to deal with. Let’s let the patch drop and reassess after that.

He is fine to me the gameplay caters to his style so he seems OP. If takedowns were easier Khabib would feel OP. It’s more of a game balance thing than a stat thing.

His speed is probably too high, his blocking and switch ratings are probably too high as well.
