Conor has become underrated

[MittLivSomHund]

absolutely agree. hate for conor blinds many people. but i think conor might lose passion for fighting. he could be mediocre fighter with that proper 12 attitude.

Conor cut a MAX 23 pounds to cut at 145, tho likely less, as he was 168 when he bulked up and did not cut weight. Khabib cuts 40 pounds to fight at 155, Max cuts 35+ to fight at 45 (and got his ass whupped by Conor), there was even some flyweight that apparently cut from 170.......

Conor lied to you bro. His coaches has said he walks 177.

Conor in a interview with Chael said he cut from 172. For the Mendes fight.

No lol. He was way overrated. You still have chodes on here calling him the Featherweight GOAT. Conor is a very good fighter, championship material, but there's a reason he never defended belts. I'll give you a hint. It's his own lack of confidence in defending them.

Amazing striker. Very high fight IQ. Makes due with what he has, and in that sense he's an overachiever. Definitely not underrated.

 

[echohead]

Try defending a belt and he would not be underrated

 

[Paynebringer]

Well he's been overrated for so long things falling into balance now...

 

[Cat Biscuits]

If 2 fights is all we have to go off you can't really make a judgement

He still absolutely washed Eddie like no one ever has

Maybe...Just maybe Khabib is really that good and Conor runs through everyone else.

DC is really good, all-time great, right?
But Jones is just that guy at 205

Eddie gets dropped in almost every fight. I love Eddie but he played into Conor's strength without ever trying to test Conor's weaknesses.

I know people are easily impressed, but Eddies fight IQ was total shit. Eddie's chin is shit, but he's always been tough to push through. He was a great stylistic matchup for Conor, just like Gaethje would be.

It's sad because we'll never know. Conor was not forced to work his way up at 155, so we'll never know how good he is because he won't ever fight anyone else.

Iaquinta
Barboza
Lee
Ferguson
Pettis

I would take all of them against Conor, but I promise Conor wouldn't ever fight any of them. He's at the end of his career. A couple money fights and high profile losses and he's out like Rousey.

Eddie may get dropped but he doesn't get steam rolled or clowned
Conor legit toyed with that man

Of course you would take all of them against Conor
You probably took the field against Conor at FW too

Never will fight them just like he'd never fight Khabib

You guys love going in circles


Lets see what happens

 

[deadon]

AL vs Coner next. Let's do it.

conor's nutritionist george lockhart said conor walks around 171 and fights 171. he is at least 171. max 177(maybe not in training camp). he is never 168, but 99% believes conor is 168.

I hated that fucken narrative that his nuthuggers used as a why he lost to Diaz. He had to eat to reach 168lbs. Nate was 3x his size.

i agree. and nate is not that big. he said cut less than 10 pounds during fight week. he was little skinny and fat in both of conor fights tho.

 

[Metal_Daze]

Won 2 belts, never lost a belt. Undisputed.

 

[frye666]

It's a shame how underrated Conor has become now that he's lost to his toughest stylistic matchup after 2 years out of the ring. It's like people have amnesia now. They think every LW in the division can beat him now simply because of the Khabib fight. Oh well. I mean people are really saying that Conor has no chance against Al. Come on people. Conor knocks him out inside 2.

Shut your whore mouth.

 

[Soul On Ice]

The fandom and hate cloud judgement from both sides

How good or great he is probably lies somewhere in the middle

 

[Rea_ctor]

Lol I know I love how there's suddenly not a single fighter in the UFC that Conor can beat.

 

[Isthat-yo bop]

Y’all tripping . First off he’s small for the weight class . We know from the Diaz fights he is cutting from 168 . U have guys like zabit and max cutting to 145 there bigger then him . Everyone looks different cutting weight . Shit Ronda looked like a whole another person dehydrated . Styles make and he took the worst on his end on two years .

 

[davisxp]

2018 BJ Penn KOs Conor out cold

2018 Ken shamrock subs him with ankle lock.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Lol, then lets see Khabib fight at LHW, since that is his natty weight (see Thompson on Khabib's weight).

*Conor is the only fighter south of heavyweight that fought 2 times at his natty weight, that is the caveat you left out.

You clearly missed the part about me NOT talking about Khabib just like TS. But still you live in denial. Your god lost and now you pay the price. Keep crying.

Conor fans he can beat every lw on the roster that's not khabib because he won a super close fight against Nate Diaz.

That’s probably a normal “pendulum swing” after all the ridiculous and laughable nut-hugger hype and hyperbole from delusional Conor fans. His last two fights, that he got paid insane amounts of money for, were fights that he got dominated, humiliated and embarrassed in after everyone had to listen to nonsense about how he would KO Mayweather and force Khabib to stand and would bust him up doing so.

Well, everyone who was sick of that BS were right, so they’re not having any of the stupid hype. It’s probably less that he’s being underrated and more that it’s the contrast to “Conor walks on water” crap.
