  1. Charles Olivera - Loss - lost all 3 rounds, 1 or more 10-8s
  2. Justin Gaethje - Loss - Lost all 5 rounds
  3. Donald Cerrone - Win - 2 rounds, somewhat dominant over Donald who is winless in his last five fights
  4. Anthony Pettis - Win - Back and forth fight. Nearly finished twice but came back. Anthony Pettis is 3-4 in his last 7
  5. Kevin Lee - Win - Back and forth fight, came back to finish Lee after early adversity. Kevin Lee is 1-3 in his last four fights

The Lighter weight divisions are so dependent upon timing, speed, and reflexes it’s a younger mans game... especially strikers and guys with less than stellar TDD, this is already known. When you see guys who are successful up past their mid-30’s on into their 40’s you’re looking at 185 and above

Please take your research to T Ferg in person, I'm sure he'd be very interested to hear your findings.

Since we never got to see Khabib-Ferguson, their resumes are often compared.

Contextualizing his strength of schedule and the results of his last five fights is an interesting point of discussion and not an insult to Tony Ferguson as a person or fighter. Nerd.

He is still one of the best LW's to ever do it.
 
2 things after watching the fight

1) Du Bronx is seriously underrated and no way will the ufc give him a TS if Conor worms his way there like

2) Tony is skilled on the ground but after seeing that I think the question of "would Tony give Khabib trouble on the ground?" Has just been answered.

Tony's days as an elite 155'r are over imo and it's sad cause the ufc kinda screwed him over

Did they? Correct if I'm wrong. I think Khabib pulled out several times. Tony pulled out a few as well.

Tony turned down interim TS vs Holloway and it was given to Poirier. Poirier beat Holloway and consequently fought to unify the belt. That would have been Tony if he accepted, no?

Now do this for oliveira's wins, mostly against top 10 opponents. Caught tony on a decline and got inconsistent Kevin lee. Still elite though but why are people making more of the victory in one end? Not saying you are but just in general

I was comparing more with Khabib myself than Olivera. Olivera fought mostly nobodies before Lee. We know that. I think he last good opponent was Felder and he lost.
 
showing records in their current state is a bit deceiving. Kevin lee was not in a loosing streak like now. Pettis has a win over olivera, the same guy that beat tony. cerrone was on a 3 fight win streak. gaetche has been on a tear and extremely competitive with top guys not named khabib.

time changes people, what can I say. Some get better, some get worse. Tony got worse.

McGregor last 5 fights

1) Beat a broken Cowboy who literally took a dive
2) Got choked out by Khabib
3) Played hand slap with Mayweather and got KOed on his feet
4) Koed Alvarez, who is also getting KOed by cans in ONE FC
5) Gifted a decision win against Diaz, who had previously finished him

yeah, but I don't think that many people argue for Conor's strength of schedule above FW.

At FW, his run was amazing. He's cherry picked ever since.

I put as much stock into Conor beating Cowboy as I do Gane beating the current version of JDS. It was almost a lock.
 
If I recall...and I didn't follow up...but #4 the Pettis fight, Pettis broke his hand.
