But I'm saying that even if he beats full camp Mendes, there will always be people trying to sell him short. If he beats Mendes I'm sure someone will say "Yeah, but he didn't beat Edgar!".
The guy is on a 15 winning streak, LW champ, got to give him some credit.
I disagree.
Most of the skeptical always claimed Conor avoided a wrestler.
And it is true.
The only one he faced is Mendes, but with the caveat that he was out hunting and had no training camp.
And we saw how the fight went until Mendes run out of gas, which only fuels the discussion.
If he was to accept Khabib, no one would be able to keep saying he avoids bad matchups.
Or if he would have fought Frankie before departing FW
but yes, I agree blind haters would always find something to criticize the fighters they hate.
This guy was out of prime, that one was injured, etc.
But I am not talking about them.
There are plenty of people who simply wants to see Conor fight all stylistic matchups.
Besides, why would anyone buy into calling the guy GOAT if he does prove he is?
In MMA, style makes fights. Beating all styles is what makes the guy go up in my book. You might disagree, but I don't think you got a leg to stand until Conor does fight these types of fighters.
