Conor McGregor has 2 title wins in 2 divisions in under 2 rounds against 2 all time greats:

[cigano]

In Aldo and Alvarez.

Yet there are still people who think this guy isn't any good.

Yes, you read that correctly. There are MMA fans, miraculously, who believe he is a fraud.

Does any other sport have fans who are so bitter and hateful that they lose all sense of perspective? I fear for Khabib because he is going to get branded as "useless", "bum" if (when?) he loses to McGregor, just like all of McGregor's previous opponents.

Sad state of affairs, gents. Because McGregor is truly elite.

and tap when he fought against Diaz

It's historically and commonly accepted that a fighter who never defends a title is not a legit champion.

Conor was never a real champ.

Wouldn't call Eddie an ATG, but no one has ever handled Aldo and Alvarez the way Conor did.

 

[Uncommon Valor]

Alvarez an all-time great?

 

[KingBeef]

Alvarez an all-time great?

I was thinking the same thing.

People have only been watching MMA for two weeks shouldn't really be discussing the history of it. Eddie is one of the greatest.

 

[cigano]

He will go down as one of the best LWs ever.

Multi organisation champion.

Eddie Alvarez has pretty much held every title he could get his hands on. Mma doesn't equal UFC. Eddie is an all time great

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

I agree. Those two performances were two of the most dominating performances in a championship match in MMA history.

Of course if/when Khabib loses, most of the detractors here will turn on him and discredit him so that they won't have to give Conor much credit for the victory.

maybe when its about eyebrows

 

[Gilday]

I'll take nothing away from the Aldo win, but Alvarez an all time great?? The fuck you been smoking my man

 

[Ruthfella]

Alvarez all time great

 

[Tramero]

Eddie is not an all time great lmao

 

[GBJohn]

Personally, I don’t think McGregor is the best lightweight in the UFC. This does not equate to me thinking he “isn’t any good”. As with a lot of fighters, he is both overrated and underrated here on Sherdog. It’s not uncommon in fight sports for an offensive powerhouse to look utterly dominant when things are going well, and pretty mediocre when they’re not. To me, McGregor fits in this category. Does that make me a hater?

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Alvarez IS an all time great. What's going on here is that a lot of you never heard his name before he fought in the UFC. Go watch some fights, noobs.

 

[fiftywattmafia]

Alvarez is NOT an all time great.

Conor fought an amazing fight. I think it was his very best performance but I think Alvarez is WOEFULLY overrated. Fuck im

who are these people calling conor trash. conor is a great fighter but not the goat that his fan boys say.

cause in the words of so many fans belts are meaningless now.
