Who does Conor beat at LW?

[Thuckey]

Which guys do you think Conor would be able to get a W over in the LW division?

Do you like the idea of him moving up for good? Or stay down a FW and fight Aldo, Holloway etc. But even if he beats them - do we want another dominant champ for years fighting the same old guys.. ?

What do you think.. where does he go from here. But as thread asks.. does he get wins over these guys?

Id like to see him hop back and fourth from 155 and 145. More match up options.

Nate trilogy, Aldo rematch possibly trilogy, Frankie, Holloway, RDA, Barboza, Khabib, etc

Lots of choices and different styles.

 

[Thuckey]

By the way LW is so fucking nuts right now. The top 5 guys could all potentially have the title shot. Crazy stuff, I love it. Then you add Conor to the mix..

Fuck. Was like a LHW before Jones. Except then Jones came in and ran through all the craziness.

I think Alvarez, Khabib, and RDA would all have their way with him

Ferguson and Cerrone are hard to call, would likely be close fights

I give him the edge over Pettis and Barboza

 

[Elmonstro1]

The two fights he wouldn't be the favorite is against alvarez and khabib

 

[CJohnny]

He can beat everyone.

Hard fights - Khabib, Nate

Close fights but he is favorite against - RDA, Barboza, Ferguson, Cerrone but I think he will fold under pressure like always.

Easy fights - rest

*looks at poll results*

wah happen to you sherdog?

 

[Red91StangCT]

LOL at the people saying he would have a close fight with Barboza. Please have Barboza fight someone who poses no threat of a takedown. That man would need a wheelchair.

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

i think his best matchup on that list would be against ferguson.

in a 3 rounder, id probably have conor as the favorite. i think i have him as an underdog agianst everyone else

 

[Jermei]

Could beat all of them, doesn't mean i think he will.

 

[Leroy Jenkins]

Pettis would destroy Conor.


Pettis is a 10x better fighter than Nate...You people are truly delusional.

 

[Sega30]

Probably Cerrone and Barbosa because they'll both stand and trade and have been caught before. Everyone else is too well rounded.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

barboza and pettis imo...maybe cerrone too since he is slow as shit. He gets murked by the rest tho.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Pettis would destroy Conor.


Pettis is a 10x better fighter than Nate...You people are truly delusional.

pettis was a fuckin beast but 3 losses in a row can change a fighter forever. Imo he's not what he used to be.

 

[Fight To Win]

LOL at the people saying he would have a close fight with Barboza. Please have Barboza fight someone who poses no threat of a takedown. That man would need a wheelchair.

Now I really, really want to see Barboza vs. Conor. That actually sounds like a really interesting standup war until the leg kicks start to build up.

 

[Cucumber Slice]

I think he could beat Pettis and maybe Ferguson

 

[John Rambro]

Conor is fucking dumb if he doesn't stay at FW now imo

 

[Sgt Smith]

I think Alvarez, Khabib, and RDA would all have their way with him

Ferguson and Cerrone are hard to call, would likely be close fights

I give him the edge over Pettis and Barboza

I think this is a pretty fair assessment.
