Conor fighting in 4 different weight classes

[WoozyFailGuy]

Conor vs Adesanya coming at you at UFC 300

 

[TriangleMonkey]

This MW BS is just BS unless he faces a real MW

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

I'd care if he was actually fighting people from those weightclasses.

 

[chinarice]

I remember when this fact was the trump card in BJ Penn fan's magic deck.

Conor exposed the bizzniss so hard.

Yeah but BJ fought actual MWs, LHWs and WWs... he didn't ask other guys from LW to fight him at MW....

Imagine Conor against Machida when he was entering his prime at an open weight.... lol Conor would get KTFO in the 1st round

 

[Lawrence]

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 ?

Connor is following in the Footsteps of Kenny Florian.

Let that sink in.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

As has been mentioned, Diego and Kenny both fought in the 4 divisions, and did so backwards, cutting weight as they went, not gaining it.

Kenny debuted at MW and finished his career challenging for the FW belt

In Diego's career, he fought 145'er Lamas at featherweight and fought MW against Shannon Ritch, a guy who, himself, fought from WW to HW.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

book him vs Weidman. the loser has to install a pegleg on their broke side.

Kenny Florian has fought 4 weights. Conor's not special for doing it. If he were to win titles in 170 and 185 then we have something to talk about.

 

[Dr. Stoppage]

Does the higher weight favor Iron Mike? Since he's more of the puncher?

Hes obviously not gonna win a title in any div,let alone one higher than 155,but his fans take consolation that he's there at all. Participation trophy lol

 

[cburm]

This works out for the video game

 

[ComeChooDaddy]

Prime BJ would fuck up Prime Conor

 

[vlz]

also fights in many promotions like in the mayweather fight and the grandpa bareknuckle championship

 

[TheBulge]

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

This wasn't impressive it was borderline criminal.

 

[El Fernas]

This wasn't impressive it was borderline criminal.

Both, Rumble made WW a few times, its not like he was a HW fighting WW´s, he fought guys around his size, whats impressive is how well he carried his power up to LHW/HW, Till used to brag about being a LHW fighting at WW, which basically all of them are with the current level of weight cutting, but has competed only a division above with shit results, Rumble was a machine at LHW, he just ran into DC at the time.

You said it yourself, He carried his power up to HW/LHW. He was a LHW from the start. He never should have been fighting MW's let alone WW, it was ridiculous.

He wasn't some regular huge WW/MW. There are tons of those in MMA, 99% of them don't do well if they go up to LHW and even HW because they're not outsizing their opponents to such comical degrees.

What makes it worse is he was one of the worst front runners in MMA history. In only 1 fight in his entire career he managed to overcome adversity and win a fight. His last one.

 

[weaselkenievil]

It’s a bullshit brag, anyone with a brain isn’t impressed by that claim. Chandler at MW is fucking stupid, joke of a fight.

 

[BForrester]

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

The difference being that BJ actually fought FW, LW, WW, MW, and HW at those classes rather than LW that just didn't cut weight.

To be fair, every WW today starts camp as high as LHW, some might start from +206lbs and drop/cut to WW, Edwards, the current WW champ is 6'2", Turner a LW is around that tall too, height is not the whole story, but its one we can compare directly.

He’s a legend of the sport
