Conor's resume is looking less and less impressive as time goes on

[Legendary]

Marcus Brimage was really a 135 and ended up going 7-8 in his career. No disrespect, he just was a gimme fight for Conor. Brimage only won 1 more fight his entire career.

Max Holloway was 21 years old and a UFC journeymen at the time. Looks good on paper, but it wasnt that great of a victory.

Diego Brandao was a good finisher, definitely a higher level win compared to the first 2, but ultimately is a journeyman who went 28-21.

Dustin was a solid win, but we all know what happened when Dustin moved up.

He fought a past prime Siver, who was a step down in competition. Siver went on to fight 2 more times and fought Kawajiri and beat an ancient BJ Penn.

Conor had an entire training camp for Aldo who got injured. Chad steps in on 2 weeks notice and nearly beats Conor.

Flash KO'ing Aldo was his greatest victory. He ducked the rematch, but this was a top tier win.

Gets completely embarrassed by Nate Diaz. Looking back at this, this is humiliating as Diaz was barely a top 10 fighter. A double champ lost to a mediocre fighter in Diaz.

The rematch was just as embarrassing. He literally ran the entire fight and eked out a decision after playing it safe.

His performance over Eddie was really good, but Eddie is the least relevant LW champ in UFC history. Another stylistic match-up that worked in his favor.

Gets Smashed by Khabib.

Gets another gimme easy fight against grandpa Cerrone.

Gets smashed by Dustin twice and breaks his leg.

His wins over Aldo and Eddie are quality wins without a doubt, but the rest of his career was getting beat by better guys or beating cans and journeyman.

As if you took time out of your day to write that whiney shit haha. Who you trying to impress?

You can do this with everyone's resume

To be fair, there isn't a single original thought to be found in the post, so it probably didn't take a whole lotta time to write ...

If you wanted to farm likes then just say something about Fedor being GOAT. Way shorter and less work.

Can we quit with the 'Conor ducked the Aldo rematch' bullshit?

If anything it was the other way around

Dustin was one of his key wins and losing to him twice really put a stain on Conor's resume. Not because losing to Dustin is bad, but because Conor and his fans constantly acted like any version of Conor beats Dustin, and that clearly wasn't true

"Fighter X has no good wins"
"How do you figure all of his wins are bad?"
"They lost to fighter X"

Not his fault khabib couldn't make weight and rda got recked by Eddie. He said he would fight whoever was champion after he won the FW strap and it happened to be Eddie. I think khabib saw the writing on the wall and knew he wasn't ready for prime Conor so purposely missed weight to avoid being champ when Conor was coming up. Then he happily called him out after he fought Floyd and took a 2 year layoff

Conor was boxin the bleedin head off him.

Those who underrate Conor are just about more retarded than those who overrate him.

You can do this with everyone's resume

except for Jake Paul's. He's faced nothing but champion level opponents.

The Aldo and Eddie wins alone are better than what 99% of MMA fighters have ever accomplished, they are better than Mighty Mouse 10 title defenses against people no one's ever heard of, Conor is a living legend of MMA and even his last few losses can be chalked up to not trying as hard after making a 100 million.

His legacy is kind of untouchable really, he could even come back and lose as many times as he wants, people will just say he's not trying as hard, who can blame him, and give him props for even fighting anyone at all when he doesn't have to. I'm not even a Conor fan, but these are just facts

Conor's path to the title was very meticulously handpicked. Anyone who was paying attention back then pointed it out, too. He came up in a time when the rankings were littered with wrestlers in their prime: Edgar, lamas, dennis bermudez, lentz, elkins etc etc and the only time Conor fought one was because it was a last minute replacement for his chance at interim gold. I'm not saying he couldn't have beaten those types of guys, but it was blatantly obvious that he wasn't fighting those types of fighters for one reason or another.

The ufc also used edgar to kill off cub swanson because Swanson was on a longer streak and had already beat Connor's best wins (poirier and siver lol) and was clearly more deserving of a TS than conor, so they needed to get that guy out of the way for Conor's win streak to mean anything and make way for his title shot.

Conor was doing the o'malley plan before O'Malley was even a thing. Hell, even conor mentioned handpicking denis siver.

Still, conor had to do his part on the nights of the fights, so props to him for that.
