Conor McGregor Vs LW top 10 today

[mma_genius]

So how would he fair against each one of these fighters, except Khabib because we'll get to know about this one soon :

2- Tony Ferguson
3- Dustin Poirier
4- Eddie Alvarez
5- Kevin Lee
6- Justin Gaethje
7- Edson Barboza
8- Anthony Pettis
9- Al Iaquinta
10- Nate Diaz

I have him winning against Poirier, Alvarez, Gaethje, Pettis, Diaz; losing against Lee; and I can't tell for Tony, Al and Edson, it could go both ways for these three. I slightly favor Tony and his unpredictable style tho.

What do you think ?

The only one I'd be worried about is Khabib. Styles make fights. Anyone that is willing to stand with Conor will lose, and most of those guys will try to stand with him.

 

[tenniswhiz]

I’m surprised people think Kevin Lee would beat Conor.
He has a tendency to leave himself wide open to getting tagged.
Imagine he eats an accurate punch of Conor right on the button, rather than some of the wild inaccurate strikes he has been hit with.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

He would dust anyone not named Tony Ferguson and Khabib. Kev Lee is a threat but if Conor catches him with a good one he will never recover. Diaz will always be a hard fight but I see Mcgregor winning by decision.

 

[PROlogic]

You're the one who's the meme at this point.

Connor's "next level greatness" got him beat by Nate Diaz and he barely scraped by in a rematch against him.

Naw. As I said, the haters are just a meme at this point

"Barely scrapped by" btw

You're delusional man

Btw, the same hater logic you apply to Conor, let me throw it back at you

"Gsp can never be great, he tapped to strikes to a bloated LW Serra"

"Anderson can never be great, he was tapped by 2 tomato cans, and badly exposed by Weidman and Bisping"

See how that goes; )

"Jones is nothing but size..badly exposed the first time he fought anyone near his size and or age...beat nothing but old out of prime fighters"

If Jones wants to prove himself worthy enough to even be mentioned on the same page as Conor, Jones needs to decisively beat someone his size and age first. Conor's win over Aldo>>>>>>>any win Jones has ever had (single or combined)

Conor's 2 divisional belts>>>>Jones's 1 divisional belt

 

[LEWIS540]

Why?

Conor fought Diaz at 170. Coming up from 145.

He fought Poirier at his regular weightclass.

How are you even gonna dispute this?

Diaz fight is not relevant when talking about 155, but the Poirier fight at 145 does?

Where is the logic?

The Diaz fight was 2 LWs fighting at WW.......in fact the rematch was meant to be at 155 but Conor insisted it be at 170.

 

[Deezer]

He has fought two of them. Beat them both more than convincingly. Nate doesn't count, as that was at 170.

None of the guys mentioned presents a serious problem for him. So based on facts, which consists of what we already know about Conor and the mentioned opponents, he beats them all.

Wait...Nate doesnt count because it was at 170 but the 2 he beat does even though it was at 145??

It was a close fight that could have gone either way and he lost 2 of 5 rounds so yes 'Barely scraped' by is right. A MD is scraping by. Its the definition of scraping by.
And trying to discredit Jones for fighting smaller guys and crediting Mcgregor for his FW wins when he was doing exactly the same is hilarious.

Exposing yourself now

"2 LWs"

Nate could never in his life ever make 145

Nate missed weight at 155 while Conor never missed weight at 145

Nate had more fights at 170 then Conor had at 155

Nate was a weight class bigger then Conor no matter which way you want to cut it

Nate is a MASSIVE LW who killed himself to make LW

If Conor is a natural LW then Nate is a natural WW

Conor is a big FW and Nate is a HUGE LW who would easily be a good sized WW

Nate is much much more of a natural WW then Conor is

It's insane how much of a huge size discrepancy there was between them that is being ignored or downplayed

You know what it is, people just lack common scruples when it comes to certain fighters that fight at certain weights.
Conor is a natural lightweight and look what he did to Alvarez. I mean mcgregor was expending his energy in a precise way in that fight and had Eddie flopping all over the place with 50%- 60% power shots.
It was a very telling fight and this is why khabibby has "idled" as a modest/mild favorite of -165, -170.We're approaching mid September, 90% of his colleagues are pick8ng bhib to run through Conor yet every single casino/house standing pat with line.
Khabib MIGHT win but it ain't going to be no " walk in the park " and I for one won't be surprised one bit if the gregor hands bhib his first loss.....and it could in form of a sweet lullaby.

Dustin loss doesn't count too cuz it was at 145.
i believe his hardest test would be Alexander cuz he has a solid chin and he hits harder than Nate
he dropped Lee with a jab

Honestly?... I know there seems to be a lot of nut huggers and haters on here but I think he beats them all. Ferguson is hittbale and Conor walked through Aldo Holloway and Poirier who would cause serious problems for anyone in that list

It's just so hilarious watching you desperately fanboy McGregor by trying to pump Diaz up. Nobody at LW or WW is scared of Diaz lmao.

 

[Spoken]

Lee, Ferguson and Khabib are the big questions, imo. Pettis would be damn fun to watch

Jones walks around at 220, he's actually at the lighter side for LHW. He utilizes a reach advantage EXACTLY like Connor did at 145, so why do you want to push this size advantage agenda? It literally works against Connor too if you weren't too stupid to realize. And didn't he beat GOAT contender, double champ, and 10-0 heavyweight DC twice? If you consider Aldo > DC, there's nothing left to discuss.

Connor's quality of opposition is nowhere near Jones. He's finally stepping up to fight someone equal to DC in Khabib - let's see how he does. This is the fight that will decide if he's on Jones' level.

i'am a Conor hater (mostly because of his fans)
but Jones is nowhere near Conor, the competition in 205 & HW is nowhere near 145 & 155, there's a billion 155er in the world
and to be a top 30 there is harder than being a top 10 LHW

 

[Killashaw]

If you think Barboza beats Conor YOU ARE THE retard

Better yet, anyone who thinks Till or Woodley is a better striker then Conor, IS THE REAL retard ; ) cough cough cough: )

I didn't say Barboza beats Conor so don't be the retard you are.

Better yet, don't show how retarded you are.

Till and Woodley eat Conor alive and could possibly kill him if they land hard continuously.

Use your PRO logic elsewhere punk.

Connor has chosen to fight at LW- he is a LW.
Nate has decided to fight at LW- he is a LW.

Nothing more to be said.


*Nate missed LW weight once in 20+ fights, in a fight he did not want to be in (v RDA). Proof he is HUUUUUGE!!!!!!!


BJ made the choice to challenge GSP at WW. He was a WW when they fought. He got murked. He can't use the excuse that he was too small afterwards (which I don't think he ever did).

What do you think ?

Diaz and Ferguson beat him imo. Rest get slept.

 

[thewhiterooster]

2- Tony Ferguson (could go either way)
3- Dustin Poirier (Conor has the edge, but I'd love to watch a rematch. I wouldn't count poirier out)
4- Eddie Alvarez (conor would probably beat him 4 out of 5 times. hard to deny what we saw the first time, although if they fought again, Eddie would need to change his gameplan and stick to the takdowns)
5- Kevin Lee (I'd give lee the advantage. he's tough, can take a punch, and would wrestle hump conor to victory. imo. Conor's mind games wouldn't work on Kevin either)
6- Justin Gaethje (Gaethje would have a punchers chance. I think Conor's striking is too diverse and precise for Gaethje tho)
7- Edson Barboza (this would be fun to watch. I think conor would win tho)
8- Anthony Pettis (I wouldn't give pettis much of a chance agains conor)
9- Al Iaquinta (a punchers chance. maybe)
10- Nate Diaz (could go either way, but I hope we never see this fight again. it takes a half a years time away from me as a viewer to watch someone else get a crack at conor)

 

[cmw43]

whats up with this LEE idolization?

Lee beat Barboza worst than Khabib did and a lot of people seem to be sleeping on him, I think he'd be a nightmare for Khabib.
