Media Conor McGregor responds to "braindead fool" Justin Gaethje

[NikLuk]

Prime Conor finishes Justin. Justin is very hittable and often overextends. In his prime Conor was great at finding the chin of such opponents. Today however, I’m pretty sure Justin finishes Conor.

For the record, I dislike both of them nowadays.

difference is that gaethje was active, fighting, and winning before then
conor hasn't won a fight against a fighter not named donald cerrone in seven years

in retrospect tho, tferg, cowboy, and barboza, LOL. everyone gets a title shot!

Wish we had a point system, tired of this
5 points for a decision win
10 points for a finish
-5 points for a decision loss
-10 points for being finished?

Whoever has the most points in a division gets the next TS?

Interesting concept.

Maybe, it resets to -0- after a loss and you need to have 50 points for a title shot.

More points for the faster win:
1st rd finish 12, 2nd round 8, 3rd or later 5(or decision win).

Could also adjust points based on rankings as a score multiplier.

So a #9 guy beats #5 with a second round finish he gets a 30% bump and receives 10.4 TS points.

Champ champ vs runner up.

Runner up, by moy-der.

Conor is not the most exciting fight for anyone in the LW or WW division.
I doubt he could beat Brian Barberena at this point.

Yeah he is. He strikes. No grapple. He’s the most exciting period

 

[StonedLemur]

Yeah he is. He strikes. No grapple. He’s the most exciting period

Have to respectfully disagree sir.
I like my fights to actually be competitive.

Now, of course.
But prime, actually hungry, not roided up, not perpetually drunk Connor would have finished Justin.

 

[Blastbeat]

These guys really need to quit crying about others getting title shots. Just shut up and fight and your time will come.

yeah, right. tell that to Beneil.
Dana White privilege helps to get a title shot.

he wouldve been too light because prime Conor was FW. Gaethje has always been lightweight.
id still pick Gaethje to destroy prime Conor. wide karate stance was just asking for Gaethje's chopping calf kicks.

I'm talking the Connor that obliterated Alvarez. That Connor I'd put against anyone (except Khabib).

the one fight LW prime Conor. perhaps the shortest prime at a weight class we have seen in the UFC.
i'd still take Gaethje. Conor never really had to defend leg kicks until that second Dustin fight. but Conor's speed could make the difference and perhaps get a standing TKO. he's not KOing Gaethje.

Yeah rewarding points for finishes and excitement I feel would be amazing

seems like a similar system to what the PFL is doing now, no?

Yeah indeed it does

Can you explain this to me? I assume you mean a perennial title contender, because Jon Fitch the fighter would never receive a true FoTY. Even his FoTN bonuses was do to his competition.

He was taking about Jon Finch. Not Jon Fitch.

He destroys Justin, when Justin is rocked he's extremely predictable with looping haymakers, he'd be tailor made for a slick pull counter guy like Conor

dont think so as it takes a lot of cumulative punishment to put Gaethje down. one left hand wouldnt do it; Gaethje's chin is too solid for that. Eddie had to knee his face like 10 times before he went down and Dustin had to throw like 30 punches before the ref stopped the fight. even when Charles dropped him, Justin was immediately trying to get up - that didnt work because Charles is Charles. you also are assuming Justin wouldnt land any calf or thigh kicks before Conor had a chance to counter.

What if rankings existed when Jon Finch fought? ________
