Conor fighting in 4 different weight classes

[SouthVanMMA]

How do you guys feel about the great feat of Conor fighting in 4 weight classes

IMO I don't give a shit ....he keeps bringing LWs up to 170 and 185.

But I'm sure he will use that to boost his ego saying he's won fights in 4 different weight classes in the UFC

What are your thoughts ?

Meh. BJ Penn has fought at FW, LW, WW, MW, LHW, open weight.

Wow. Conor is incredible.

B.J. Penn could jump  out of 3' of water.

Connor isn't exactly qualified to ride  all the rides at Six Flags.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

He's fighting guys who also fought a lower classes. He's never tested a legit top 10 guy at 170 and certainly won't at 185

Gaining and cutting weight to fight exactly who you want is not as interesting or impressive to me as holding your ground no matter what killer comes your way.

Rumble had fought at WW, Catchweight (177), MW, Catchweight (195), LHW, HW and was a super HW at one time. RIP.

Proves he’s the p4p GOAT

 

[AdamWarlock]

that's why he's the greatest martial artist of all time

nobody come close

 

[KOPPE]

any LW would kill to get a sniff of Conor even at 205.

 

[ElLunico]

He hasn't fought a natural WW lol.. Any top WW would ragdoll him. Top MW's would maul him. He's not a big guy, putting on weight would just tax his gas tank make him more defenseless after the 2nd round

 

[Ares Black]

He has never fought a welterweight and he won't be fighting a middleweight.

 

[checktheknuckles]

Who gives a fuck? Conor is only fighting LWs in all these other weight classes. Conor fighting Mighty Mouse at HW doesn't fuckin make either one a HW or even close to it. Would be different if Conor fought a legit WW or a legit MW or a legit LHW or a legit HW, but he only fighting LWs at bloated weights. So saying he fought at 4 different weight classes is complete and utter bullshit.

Didn't Diego fight in those exact 4 divisions too?

At one point Cerrone was ranked #5 at WW. I don't know what he was at the time he fought Conor (likely not even top 10), but he was a legit WW. Although he was pretty shot by that fight

 

[Spiderbite]

Virtually any current top 15 MW punches his teeth in.

bwahahah

Nate and Cowboy were studs.

This was always the plan. Conor is the greatest combat athlete of all time, coming for all the belts.

And a someone who competed at 155. Yes, he was shot at that point

So you can't be a legit WW if you ever made 155? I've weighed anywhere from 160 to 230 as an adult. I don't think just because someone has fought at 155 that they are not "real" at another weight class.

But I get your point. Conor has all these claims to fight at 170 and 185 but he is challenging smaller guys like Chandler to 185 that doesn't have any merit.

Cerrone was a welterweight though. He was just a cherry picked one that he could beat because he doesn't have particularly strong wrestling and he was at the tail end of his career. But his size was legit.
