Some Quotes:

On the criticism of Conor McGregor being given beatable opponents and that he would lose to wrestlers such as Chad Mendes, Dennis Bermudez or Frankie Edgar

 

[M Raid K]

Conor McGregor at 170 would fare even worse than Benson Henderson at 170.

 

[Bogeyman]

I think he'll defy the laws of physics and beat him in negative minutes. Ko at -1:30.

McGregor v. Weidman, March 17, 2017.

 

[Psychedelic]

Head. Clean. Off.

 

[PorkPiePusher]

Under 1 minute IS under 2 minutes.

 

[JohnMc]

For a guy who claims to deal with facts and reality Kavanagh is coming off as really delusional. Especially where he talks about Conor dominating in 3 weight classes.

 

[puppybird]

If he became the first 3 weight UFC Champion, that would mean he was a pretty good fighter.

 

[HelloJapan]

Now we know who Jones has been doing cocaine with...

 

[gspfedkobe24]

This is the same guy who said Conor can hold every belt from FW to MW.....

 

[loisestrad]

This is the same guy who said Conor can hold every belt from FW to MW.....

He can, they're not that heavy.

 

[PolskiGhost]

He can, they're not that heavy.

Hahaha, lol

Under 1 minute IS under 2 minutes.

Not really sure what you're trying to say

 

[Credo]

Bet the house on GOAT!

 

[Azrael40]

Conor trains ten rounds in a row against increasingly heavy fighters, each of his opponents gets one round then the next guy steps in. He's trained with Gunnar Nelson many many times. He could fight at Welterweight easily.

 

[God_Emperor_Of_Mankind]

Hahaha, lol



Not really sure what you're trying to say

He's using dat loophole.

 

[ArtemV]

This guy said Pendred would make Lombard look beatable LOL

 

[Rico]

So his Aldo strategy is to get him on the back foot? He thinks he would be uncomfortable there, apparently.

Has he ever watched Aldo fight?

Also, he would get tossed around at WW. Depending on how his grappling looks when actually tested, he could have some success at LW. This guy comes across as a little delusional IMO.

 

[xyster]

conor will move to bw for sure after aldo leg kicks one of his legs off.
