Media Aljo is almost the same size as Conor

[milenss]

Yet he fights at 145... and Conor goes up to WW.
Conor should go back to 145 to dispute that title!

 

[OldCasualBoxer]

Connor's BF% is WAY higher than Aljo's, Connor's probably around 15%, and Aljo around 10%.
If Connor had to cut to reach to 10% BF he would loose a lot of weight.

 

[DOMMA]

Plenty of fighters walk around 20+ lbs over their fighting shape.

Conor won't be 185 in fight night, rather 175-180 at heaviest
Holloway is not much lighter than that in fight night, and he is skinny.
It doesnt make Conor a big LW but a bloated one.

Bloated at 170 - yep. Big and cut at 155. Huge, gaunt, 145er.

 

[Seismic]

Not surprised as Conor's a natural FW.

 

[AmbassadorFright]

Aljo coming for that 145 strap.

What will you say when he loses to Cejudo?

 

[pankrat]

Bloated at 170 - yep. Big and cut at 155. Huge, gaunt, 145er.

So a FW-LW, as many other we've seen fighting between those weightclasses.
He is not bigger and cutter than the average LW. If anything, he is below avg at 155.
He would be the smaller WW in UFC roster

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

He looks like he has 20lbs on Aljo.

 

[DebtCollectorMMA]

Dont shave that beard again dawg

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Aljo coming for that 145 strap.

Yeah I'm pretty sure he's gonna vacate and challenge for 45 title in 1 or 2 more title defenses.
Especially is Merab somehow beats Yan.
