Aldo
Alvarez
Poirier
Holloway
Mendes
Diaz
Cerrone

shields
Fitch
Diaz
Hughes
Penn
Condit
Bisping

IMO the first list of fighters beaten is far more impressive than the second list...Aldo is easily the most elite win to have out of those 14 names. Discuss
 
Which list includes title defenses?
 
No Conor doesn’t have a better resume than gsp

You muppet
 
Which list includes title defenses?
This. Conor has zero title defenses. Not to mention it's much easier to steal the title away then it is to defend it. GSPs resume easily better when you factor in his string of defenses.
 
Sure, but context is needed. GSP beat all those guys in their prime while defending his title.

Conor beat Poirier and Holloway before their primes, and Cowboy after. So as a whole, GSP's list is more impressive IMO. But yeah Aldo is the best win out of all of them, I'll give you that.
 
I hate Conor, but there is something to this list!
 
Title defenses has nothing to do with the question

People can't keep it 100
Gotta change the question and shit
 
Shields was on a 15 fights win streak
(including Hendo, Lawler, Condit, Okami, Menne)

Fitch was on a 17 fights wins streak

Nick > Nate
Hughes and Penn were champ
Bisping was an upper weight class
and after a 4 yrs layoffs.

When will you stop hating on GSP? Remove the hate from your bum soul.
 
Aldo - great win, legit top win over the greatest FW ever
Alveraz - He's probably the worst champ in history
Poirier - was top 15 at the time but nothing compared to what he is at LW
Holloway - Extremely green
Mendes - Very solid win but the short notice was a huge knock on performance
Diaz - Good win but no champion level fighter has lost to him during their prime
Cerrone - same thing as Diaz

Shields - top 5 and just beat Hendo at MW (easy style match up but as legit as they come)
Fitch - #2 ww and insane win streak before GSP ended it
Diaz - Same thing as Cerrone and Nate
Hughes - was arguably the greatest ww of all time at the time
Penn - Undersized but one of the top P4P fighter at the time
Condit - was a legit interim champ and was beating everybody who wasn't GSP
Bisping - Honestly looked great against Rockhold but clearly fell out of prime in his Hendo fight. would rate this at about the same as the Alveraz fight.

GSP has far more impressive fight History and wins over more legit opponents at the time of their fights.

both have what? 26ish fights? GSP has a list of "Who's Who", were as Mcgregor, save for a few has a list of "Who's that?" and as said above how many title defenses against the cream of the crop has McGregor had???

I might dispute that Aldo is the most elite win.

Hughes was the WW GOAT before GSP.

At the time that GSP beat Fitch, Fitch looked unstoppable. He was on a 16 fight win streak (8 in the UFC).

I put the 2nd list well ahead of the first.

Hughes = Aldo
Fitch >> Alvarez
Shields = Poirier
Diaz = Diaz (LOL)
Penn > Holloway
Condit = Cerrone
Bisping < Mendes
 
Gsps and it's not even close lots of wrestlers in there too.. oh and title defenses
 
Other than Aldo GSP resume crushes Conor resume, context is very important in this kind of discussion
 
One guy knocked the fook out of all his opponents in like 30 minutes combined. The other dry humped the life out of each and every opponent for like 7 hours of fight time.

Moving the goal post is a dead giveaway of someone who can’t defend their opinion logically.

that’s for sure
