Too high. Becoming a legit 2 division champ is a massive deal. Fighters like Jon and DC arent legit 2 division champs. They have paper belts but Conor legit beat the best standing champ when he won those 2 and Aldo win is one of the best MMA wins ever but his resume is too shallow.
His ranked wins
Poirier - good win but Dustin was never an elite FW. He got rekt by Cub and KZ too anytime he stepped up to the highest level FWs. Weight cut took alot out of him. Conor stans love to revise history and pretend prime LW Dustin weve seen in recent years was the same one he fought.... Anyone whos honest with themselves knows thats not true
Mendes - great win but short notice
Aldo - incredible win one of the best ever
Nate - scraped by but a good win even tho Nate wasnt a ranked WW and he got upset, panic wrestled and choked the 1st fight
Eddie - terrific win but got to skip the line to get the shot
Cowboy - decent win Cowboy was shot but still an impressive performance
Thats it.... Max was an unranked 21yo whod been fighting MMA for a couple years. Conor stans love revising history but 2013 Max is not a great or elite win. Dennis Bermudez beat Max up right before the Conor fight.
Then who else did he beat.... Dennis Siver?
that matchup made ZERO sense. Conor shouldve foght Frankie Cub or Lamas Bermudez winner but he was one of the most popular fighters of any combat sport. Mega superstar hype and UFC wanted him to fight Aldo and gave a layup gimme fight.
Brimage no offense is not a good fighter. Brandao I guess was decent.
Buchinger in Cage Warriors was good so theres that....
Conor had incredibly high highs.... but top 15 is much too high.
