Conor Mcgregor is not a true featherweight, he's actually a true Welterweight. He walks around at 170-175.....while Cerrone also walks around that weight and doesn't cut anything to get to WW...and Cerrone has just destroyed a former MW Title challenger in Cote.

So now that we all agree that Conor Mcgregor is a Welterweight just like Cerrone, Lawler, Condit etc... We've seen a lot of Welterweights try their hand at Middleweight and move up for a few fights, therefore Conor Mcgregor could be a Middleweight. But there have been many MW's who have moved up to LHW, infact many started their career at LHW. So being that Conor is a Middleweight, he could move up to Light heavyweight and take a few fights up there. And lastly, there have been many LHW's who have been former HW's such as Krylov, Rumble, DC, etc...so if Conor is a LHW...what stops him from going up to heavyweight?

He's ducking Stipe Miocic, that's why...he's spent his whole career ducking MW,LHW, and HW just cause he knew he'd be exposed.

So basically, what you are saying, is that Conor is the only fighter in the UFC that cuts weight?
 
Conor fights at 145, his frame seems more suited to 155, but, his natural weight is over or pretty close to 170, he seems to be a natural WW with that logic, that same logic makes Nate a MW at best, only a weight class apart, just like their current weight classes. They fighting at 170 is because of the short notice nature of the first fight, also to "preserve" somehow Conor LW status and eventuall fight for the belt.
 
Walking around at 170 = being a 155er, maybe 145.

The people who fight at 170 walk around at 200 pounds.
 
This is without hesitation the worst thread in Sherdog history.
 
Ts is not the most brightest person in sherdog. I can see that for sure
 
What the shit is "natural" weight?

Seems like he's thinking about Conor's walk around and optimal weight(s). Needless to say, he's going about it all wrong..

OT: Conor's record says FW is his optimal weight class, neither LW nor WW is suited for him aside from cherry picking opponents considering he's where he's at in his career.
