If Conor beat khabib then that means Conor has dominated 2 division...And

[wake_me]

beating 2 champs in LW is

No it isn't. A division is not the same as 2 people. He doesn't get credit for beating the people his opponents did, bruh

 

[Kumason]

Dominated LW?WTF lol

He didn’t beat and all time great FW in Max. He beat a max that was coming off a loss to Dennis Bermudez.

The same Max that got his ass kicked but was gifted a decision vs Leonard fricken Garcia haha

 

[Arrrrgh]

1. You think winning two fights in a division is dominating it?

2.

at that point you can't deny Conor is not one of the goats

Nice double negative. Is this really a troll post just to say Conor isn't one of the GOATs?

 

[Lay N Pray 101]

beating 2 champs in LW is

*gifted title shots

 

[snackgod]

not only that. it also means that Conor has beat 2 of the best fighters in the history of their division. Aldo and max in featherweight and khabib in lightweight. that's literally the most impressive feat in MMA history, at that point you can't deny Conor is not one of the goats

defend first.

2 fights at 155 not make you a goat.

by skipping the fucking line

Frankie had his chance after being gifted a TS after two losses in a row. He lost and Conor was the next in line at FW after Aldo had already beaten frankie, mendes twice, lamas and cub.

FW title shot was a no brainer after starching #4 in 1 round (Dustin)

2 fights in one division is not "dominating "

What if a fighter came to the UFC, ran through the LHW division(including a young Cormier) and KO'd Jon Jones in less than 10 seconds to win the belt. Then he moved up to HW and lost a late replacement fight to Overreem, beat Alistair in the rematch, then went on to win the belt by beating JDS(or insert whoever you think would be = to Alvarez). Left the UFC to pursue a boxing superfight, then came back a couple years later and beat an undefeated Fedor(pretending that Fedor was in the UFC and in his prime at the same time) to recapture the HW Title?

Cormier = Holloway
J Jones = Aldo
Fedor = Khabib

If that were to happen, how would you characterize that fighter???

by skipping the fucking line

The champs have always got to skip the line.

BJ Vs GSP for the WW Belt.

Dan Henderson came in with the Pride belts so he got a shot at Rampage for the LHW belt and lost so for his next fight they gave him Anderson for the MW belt.

TJ as bantamnweight champ wanted to fight MM and Dana was happy to oblige but MM couldn't agree terms.

DC Vs Stipe for the HW title.

Holloway as FW champ was going to step in short notice and fight Khabib for the LW belt but couldn't make weight.

GSP just walked out of 4 years of retirement in to a middleweight title shot.

It's not just a special exception for McGregor...

At the time Khabib didn't deserve a shot he beat RDA in 2014 then 2 years later he reappeared and fought no name Darrell Horcher at 160lbs, can't really give a title shot off that.

Ferguson had just beat Groovy Lando which was a good win but it's not like people were crying for his title shot and he had his fight booked with RDA which must have been a contenders fight.

Who did McGregor really jump in front of?

As a Conor fan, I agree.

Conor won’t fight enough to dominate LW with his remaining career IMO. He’d need to at least to beat Tony and another three or four top contenders after Khabib to be considered as dominating, and he probably won’t do that.

...that's literally the most impressive feat in MMA history, at that point you can't deny Conor is not one of the goats

And it was at this point that the thread went from a potential legit discussion to a Conor circle jerk. This is one example of why die hard Conor fans are so annoying.

A guy with only 4 hw fights lol

If you beat khabib you beat them all fight math works like sex
