Serious question to Conor doubters, which of Conor's wins can be contributed to his size?

Is it

Dustin Poirier?
Nate Diaz?
Jose Aldo?
Dennis Siver?

or who?
 
Aldo and Silver.

Not that its the only thing that won it for him but his reach advantage played a huge factor.
 
You make the assumption that Conor doubters make the assumption his wins should be contributed to his size.

Also Conor is the one who kept bringing the height of his opponents up. So yeah... we should ask Conor i guess.
 
Every fight at FW would be my guess.

Conor doubter

Grow the fuck up dude.
 
Brandao. He's little next to Conor.

Siver is short, but the dudes' a tank and he was a somewhat successful LW. Aldo is shorter than Conor but more powerfully built. Poirier was one of the very biggest FWs. Holloway is less powerfully built than Conor but still pretty big. Mendes is short but he looks like a condom stuffed full of walnuts. And he has his skin cream back then.

Tbh Conor ability to get in Aldo's head by trashtalking played a waaay bigger factor

If Conor had a shorter reach than Aldo, he would've never been able to land a counter left like that.
 
Everyone fights down till they get diminishing returns.
Maybe too many fight down.

I don't think anyone can seriously doubt Conor he has already got paid.
 
Conor openly admits he has a massive advantage over people shorter than him so, by definition...all those shorter than him.

If Conor had a shorter reach he could still have adjusted distance, if Aldo did not let Conor get into his head with trashtalk, he will not have offered that big opening to a bigger stronger puncher

Also the impact itself did'nt even required Conor's extra range advantage

As you can see even Aldo after hit without even having to utilize his full reach

It was about timing, hit first, power and toughness

And before all that, about Aldo feeling the need to proof something

If Conor didn't have a reach/height advantage, Aldo would've never even felt the need to rush to close the distance like that.

Against a shorter fighter theres no way that KO happens like that.
 
I thought we were done with this shit after Bones. If you make the weight it's ok.
 
technique is the only factor. tell you don't saw the skill diference in conor vs nate 1 and 2. he was the shorter guy and still out strike the bigger guy.
