@kgb725: Nah in UFC 1 Royce took down most fighters easily.
With his first fight against Art Jimmerson just one double leg and he smothered him on top. Didn't even submit him, Jimmerson tapped from frustration.
He got sprawled on by Ken Shamrock, the difference is that Shamrock has experience in other proto-MMA organisations like Pancrase.
He did have trouble in the Gordeau fight though, Gordeau gave Royce issues by grabbing him by his Gi and pulling him up off his legs until Royce got the leg trip from the clinch.
You're right about the size difference though. They were all relatively similar in size making this harder for Conor. Actually I concede that UFC 1 is not a good example for this though.
I still think that McGregor has a chance of winning against Joshua though despite the size difference.
