Clay Guida would beat him.
Average.
Ran through an entire division and kilt the champ in 13 seconds.
Nothing great about that.
He is a 4 star general at doo-doo talking BUT, when it comes time to dance, he is a very good striker who bleeds a lot, especially over his right eye....Mendes opened him up, as did Aldo after 1 punch.
Clay Guida would beat him.
Don't use logic ... Silva also popped for steroids, multiple steroids, on multiple tests, and people ignore that too and talk about how Chael took steroids so his career is worthless, but Silva is GOAT.Chael beat the shit out of anderson for 5 rounds via wrestling & he still has a plausible claim to GOAT.
But so what! Who else has given us superfights? Only BJ Penn ever had the gumption to take on anyone the way Conor does.
Well he can't be the GOAT as he's only a FW. He has a chance to be a GOAT at FW or maybe LW. He's obviously a great fighter. He's taking a huge risk at LW. He has a good chance of being a dual champ and that's about it for now.He's had a bunch of fights in the UFC now and I still don't know if he is the GOAT, great, good or average (Is the grappling question 100% answered?)
For almost all other fighters, with that many fights in the UFC, you kind of know where they stand. But for Conor I'm still on the fence. How about you?
Who said what you "quoted"? I'd like a source but if its Dana don't bother.
Lets think about this "Mendes at least knew who he'd be fighting".
When did he know compared to when Conor knew Mendes was likely?
I am guessing a few hours at absolute most, lest be genours and say 6 hours. A roughly 1% increase in notice of opponent does not in any material way counter the over 6 fold increase in notice of fight date.
