Best Striker vs Best Wrestler

[Espresso]

When was the last time that happened?

Maybe Wonderboy vs Woodley?
DC vs Jon Jones?
What others?

Its not a good look for Conor, he ate elbows from Mendes. However, Al Iaquinta kept it standing vs Khabib like 2 full rds.

 

[SCTwins]

DC vs Stipe
Blaydes vs Reem

 

[mallen7272]

Cm Punk vs Mike Jackson

 

[Uncommon Valor]

Rumble/Cormier.
Silva/Sonnen.

 

[KeiranMc]

Gracie vs Jimmerson son

Khabib doesn’t finish people on the ground, especially people of Conor’s caliber.

Best case scenario for khabib is he lays on Conor, but Conor’s push kick/front kick will sap khabib’s energy like it did to mendes.

The more I think about this fight, I don’t see many options for khabib to win.

Mirko Filipovic vs Mark Coleman (Pride 29)

He will rack up points with take downs and possibly control. Conor is a competent grappler and won't be raped though.

 

[The Domin8or]

Whittaker vs Romero
DC vs Rumble
Couture vs James Toney (LOL)
Cro Cop vs Randleman
Cro Cop vs Coleman

 

[Codpiece]

Rumble/Cormier.
Silva/Sonnen.

Silva/Sonnen is a great call.

Hughes/Alves was a top wrestler vs a top striker.

[awymore]

Conor has one finish in three lightweight fights. Might be a little premature to be calling him the best striker in the division

 

[TinkleMan]

it is impossible to have this matchup unless cm punk clones himself

 

[Uncommon Valor]

JDS/Cain.

 

[Ronda.Jones.genetics]

He actually has 2 finishes....

Seriously though, Eddie and Nate are incredibly hard to finish so it's hard to hold that against McGregor.

 

[Sapp]

Coleman/Cro Cop
Silva/Cormier
Mendes/McG
