Conor McGregor has more top 5 & top 10 wins in the LIGHTWEIGHT ranks than Khabib or Tony

[Son Peyote]

Conor is sometimes criticized for not having done enough at LW

meanwhile he has more wins in the top 5 and top 10 than either Khabib or Tony

Khabib and Tony have impressive streaks, yes, but lets be honest

The Eagle

- Edson Barboza (#6)
- Al Iaquinta (#10) (~3 yrs inactive, short notice)

El CuCuy

- Kevin Lee (#5) (staph infected Lee)
- Edson Barboza (#6) (short notice for Edson)

The First King With Two Crowns™

- Eddie Alvarez (#3) (Humiliated)
- Dustin Porier (#4) (Devastated)
- Nate Diaz (#8) (Will Never Be The Same)

Has fought ONCE in the UFC at lightweight.

Yeah, he's the LW goat.

lmao

Where does it say that? You're arguing with yourself again.

Lol at people taking the rankings seriously. they voted on by media guys and don't mean anything

Keep shifting that goalpost

"He hasn't done enough at LW!"

*Evidence of more wins in LW ranks*

"errrrrr the rankings don't matter"

Funny how you left RDA off who was number 8 when he fought Khabib and like number 3 when he fought Ferguson.

If we're going to start cherry picking arguments for fighters no longer in the rankings because they were in the rankings... then we should add fighters who will probably soon be in the rankings too... like Max Holloway and Jose Aldo

Dustin Poirier was a FW win. Don't make up wins that didn't happen. He didn't beat Poirier at LW. You just made that fight up.

Nate Diaz who has zero, zero top15 wins is a top10 LW. So ridiculous. In 2018, it is unquestionable that without Conor Mcgregor, Nate Diaz is no longer ranked at LW.

Nothing is cherry picked or fabricated. These are wins in the Lightweight rankings. You're also arguing with yourself.

Why did he not defend against either fighter?

got stripped because he would not defend his belt.

He had 100 million reasons

Why did he then offer to step in and fight the much smaller Edgar?

Agreed. If he was ready for Edgar he should've been ready for Tony. I criticized him for that.

He still has not fought the best fighters at LW

Well Conor already has the most quality wins between Khabib, Tony & himself.

So if Conor hasn't fought the best fighters at LW, neither have they.

Good record for a retired fighter

 

[Njmma209]

Conor is a great fighter but he is not the best LW.

[Danis_champ]

Nate beat him the first time and arguably the second time too

Poirer had a bad weight cut before Conor fight

Alvarez was a fluke champion. Conor needs to beat Lee, Tony or Khabib to be considered elite LW. I have Conor ranked #5 and thats being generous, guy hasn't fought for 2 years. I have him below Tony, Khabib, Lee, Hernandez and Taisumov

 

[Ever Watchful]

I see no bias, well done!

Nate Diaz win - Diaz checked out of being a serious mixed martial artist years ago
Poirier - Cut too much weight and had zero ability to take a shot
Eddie Alvarez - lost all of his fights but was gifted a decision en route to his one win over RDA. Doesn't mean anything.

See what I did there? I did an impression of you.

Neither the Dustin nor the Nate fight were in the Lightweight division.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Why did he not defend against either fighter? Why did he then offer to step in and fight the much smaller Edgar? He still has not fought the best fighters at LW and literally got stripped because he would not defend his belt.

 

[suffersystem]

Khabib has 4 top ten wins as well btw

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Lol at people taking the rankings seriously. they voted on by media guys and don't mean anything

good point, no way Al is top 10, so in theory khabib has only one top 10 victory

 

[Sjb1888]

Facts like these are difficult to argue with.... I'm convinced.

I think Conor arguably beat Diaz both times....

The whole rankings are a joke u can't say top 10 about anyone when they are not based on merit, media guys are the ones dictating everything.
