Against whom do you think we saw Conor McGregor in his prime ????
Or do you think Conor McGregor's prime is still yet to come ????

 

[Luthien]

Exciting

 

[TimeToTrain]

He has to say this to attract more viewers. “He can sell sand to an arab, ice cream to an Eskimo.”

 

[Memeojima]

Conor primed out at 145 as a skinny anorexic twink beating up midgets

We know.

The question here is if do you think that is true or not... and most importantly WHY

 

[Austinus]

The notorious loaded gloves incident at ufc 194 was his peak.

 

[NinjaSkillZ]

Lol you gullible people. All athletes say that.

 

[Unheralded Truth]

I don't believe he's in his prime now, turning 33 this year and with only one fight after his losses in boxing/MMA 2017/2018.
It makes sense that he has fallen down a bit since the real prime of his, right before the money fight in boxing.
So when he was gifted a TS at lightweight and took the opportunity. He will never reach that height again, ever.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

A 32 year old lightweight striker reaching his peak. I'm in. Anticipating bicycle kicks and lead uppercut knockouts.

 

[13Seconds]

I think Conor wasted his prime between the Aldo fight and the Khabib fight.

Made a shitload of money but as a fight fan his career has been disapointing

 

[CerebralKnievel]

.....what?

 

[Metallicalabran]

Lol you gullible people. All athletes say that.

We know. Thats why I made the thread.

Do you think thats true or false in McGregor case, and most imporantly WHY

 

[Murder_KickHC]

Imagine thinking you know better than Conor himself. Only on Sherdog.
Best he has ever looked was against Cerrone.

 

[Metallicalabran]

LOL you just listed his age and how many years he has been fighting without any basis to back up your headline claim. Nice work.

Thats McGregor claim, and this thread is a question to know your opinion about it, WTF, learn to read please

 

[Herwald]

2016 MSG Conor seems like the prime version. But he's welcome to go on a tear and prove me wrong.

 

[TimeToTrain]

We know.

The question here is if do you think that is true or not... and most importantly WHY

I think that is true. He went through a serious training camp to fight Floyd, learned a lot from the Khabib loss, made it look easy against Cerrone. 32 is still a prime age in the fight game. He’ll have more stamina at 155 and if he KO’ed Poirier at 145, he’ll be packing more dynamite in those hands at LW.

He said same thing back then

Cerrone is a scrub now, everyone looks good against him, guy can’t even beat a stoned jobber Nico Price.
