I always see this, whenever there's a thread about something related to him. Stuff like "he's a decent boxer with a left hand and nothing more, shitty TDD and even shittier grappling", but I don't understand why.
Sure, you could say that his ground game isn't the best at FW or LW, but it isn't straight up trash, otherwise he would have been easily beaten by anyone on CW and in the UFC. Same with his Takedown defense, he got taken down by one of the best wrestlers at 145 and it sucks now? Come on, hopefully the Eddie fight showed that he can indeed keep the fight on the feet against most wrestlers.
Why do you guys try to discredit him so much? All you're doing is making MMA look worse and worse every time. A one dimensional boxer managed to KO a guy who had been undefeated for 10 years to win the FW belt, and destroyed another guy to win the LW belt. Truly shows the skill level and talent in the sport, is that what you want to hear?
How come Dustin and Alvarez suddenly became trash after Conor beat them? Was it because he didn't get destroyed like most of you thought? Just accept the fact that Conor is indeed a great fighter and has accomplished great things. Also, the Aldo fight wasn't a fluke.
