Article: Conor McGregor isn’t a great UFC fighter and never has been

[hasar]

“I’ve been fighting 12 years as a martial artist,” Diaz said. “Like, just knowing … seeing (the UFC) push this guy. That guy’s a good fighter and everything, but he’s where he’s at because of the push he’s getting, you know what I’m saying? I’ve put in a lot of work, and there ain’t no push. So I’m gonna take that (expletive) and make it mine, you know what I’m saying? I know I’m a better fighter than him. They weren’t gonna give me no full camp for this guy. They’re gonna try to do whatever they can to bring him back to the top. I knew I was better than him. …

“I’ve been in this UFC since I was 21 years old. I think that was my 25th fight, or 26th fight. There’s no experience like that. That guy, I think this might’ve been his sixth, seventh, eighth fight. But we’ll see where he’s at in 26 fights from now.”

He's done pretty good for being a shit fighter.

 

[Gabe]

Lol he's the featherweight champion. Like saying DC never was a good fighter because he lost to Jones.

 

[Drunk Bum]

Weren't you a Conor supporter before he lost? Well anyways, i'm a huge hater of Conor but let's be honest...he's legit and you're a troll.

Stockton motherfucker wut

 

[Cold Front]

He's a damn good fighter. He's beat almost everyone of note in the Featherweight division and he's done so in impressive fashion.

He just isn't the God of MMA that he thought he was.

 

[VAfan]

Lol he's the featherweight champion. Like saying DC never was a good fighter because he lost to Jones.

this. he's cleaned out a division all save one fighter, and that isn't done too often. he's a great fighter with delusions of grandeur.

It's not me. You have to read the article.

 

[mmaelitefan000]

he's exactly what the ufc needs. someone who can sell fights and goes in there to kill or be killed .he just needs some adjustments when fighting someone like nate.

[Helloevo]

This "writer" needs to go back to the hole he crawled out of.

EDIT: clarity

 

[JasonJJJ]

Conor is a true champ, name me some other fighters who have gone undefeated in the UFC and who have done so going up two weight classes...

I can't stand Conor but this is the same shit people said about Ronda after she lost. You people need to seriously need to find something better to do with your time.

I find it funny that Sherdoggers, of all people, have such high standards for greatness. Let me guess, you posted this on a smoke break during your shift at Arbys.

He's the FW champion, dethroning a P4P legend to get there. Of course he's a great fighter. His dreams of ruling 3 divisions were always incredibly far-fetched, though. Not many people thought Nate would be the one to derail them, but here we are.

 

[TheNorseMen]

Wow. Out come the bandwagon fans

 

[Bartinho]

You're silly. He beat Aldo.

 

[TheUnchosenOne]

this. he's cleaned out a division all save one fighter, and that isn't done too often. he's a great fighter with delusions of grandeur.

He hasn't even defended his belt. You can't clean out a division with zero title defenses.

 

[*Z*]

Lol he's the featherweight champion. Like saying DC never was a good fighter because he lost to Jones.

DC lost to the champ, Conor lost to Nate Diaz. It would be like DC moving back to HW and losing to Gabriel Gonzaga.

 

[VAfan]

You can't clean out a division with zero title defenses.

no reason that would be true. he had a long run and then took out aldo, and the division is pretty weak. beyond frankie there's not much left.

He has zero title defenses. Thats like the exact opposite of cleaning out a division.

 

[Shaddows]

Lol he's the featherweight champion. Like saying DC never was a good fighter because he lost to Jones.

Well... DC did beat the top contenders of his division.
Conor leapfrogged them.

He would NEVER pass through Mendes (full camp) or Frankie.
