Gaethje Is Conor’s easiest lightweight fight

[Mammothman]

Sherdog said the same about cowboy, he was “shook” of Donald which proved to be false
Backstage politics likely why fights not happening

??? nightmare for khabib LOL
gaethje has zero ground game and would get subbed the instant it reaches the ground

In fairness Justin does have a ground game, he just doesn't use it very much.
However, "a nightmare for Khabib" is definitely funny as fuck <Lmaoo>

Gaethje is dangerous I disagree

no one says he's not dangerous gatheje is my favourite fighter around these days but his fighting style plays into conors strengths.

 

[RockyLockridge]

So then... why was he fighting Cerrone... at a different weight class... INSTEAD OF winning that easiest of LW fights?

Why?

cerrone is an easier fight and a better draw

poorly advised, Gaethjes take down defense is great and his ability to get up when taken down is currently unrivaled in the lw division.

Connor fans going to be like this for a while......they really overvalued the Cowboy win lol

The problem is that they're talking mad shit like Conor would ruin Gaethje, but REFUSE to admit that Conor ducked his "comeback" fight against him because there was too much on the table for needing a win.

Conor had his choice of anyone, and he chose Cowboy, the guy who just got KO'd in his last 2 fights...

I smell fear, because even Conor knows it's not an easy fight. There is way more risk there than there was vs Cowboy. Gaethje won't take a dive to get a big under the table bonus from Daddy Dana.

 

[strebitel86]

If the fight is scripted just like the Cowboy fight, then I will say Conor.

But if this is a real fight, Gaethje will beat him.

 

[Bogeyman]

It's groundhog day with McGregor fights on Sherdog. If they made this fight, people here would be talking about how Gaethje is this giant beast with Hulk Hogan wrestling. Betting on him is easy money etc etc. Then he'd get eaten alive in one round and we'd all be hearing about how he was never any good, was tailor made for McGregor and should be ashamed of himself and retire.

Eddie Alvarez knocked him out who Conor embarrassed

When Gaethje decided to out tough every opponent. New more calculated Gaethje is different and has first round knock outs in his last few fights without taking much damage.

 

[Mixfight]

Gaethje has improved a lot. He is throwing way better punches now than he ever was. Hes more patient and actually looks for openings and capitalizes on them with great strike selection. I think Conor would at the very least have his hands full with Gaethje.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

I got Justin 3rd round tko

 

[frontkick1]

That's why he chose to fight Edgar then Cerrone.
Alright...

 

[kickpuncher]

Conor gets put to sleep pretty easily if he fights any top 5 LWs. Kevin Lee would fuck Conor's shit up.

 

[Kono dio da!]

Then why fight cowboy?

 

[Arcticman]

Then why fight cowboy?

He needed a good actor for hes script.

 

[Nate banged my mom]

No, there's much easier LW fights for Conor than Gaethje. Also, Lee's biggest hindrance is his IQ.
