Honest, But Silly Question: How Would Buff Conor Do @185?

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Great analyst

Thank you brother, thats my 1 good analysis for the year haha

 

[DestinedAussie]

Let's assume he somehow skips the few wrestlers/grapplers.

Let's also assume Conor is also fully or decently functional at this new weight.

How does he do against the top ranked and/ higher profile strikers? Ex. Kevin Holland, Uriah Hall, Gastelum, Cannonier etc. etc.

I know it's a bit silly but just for fun?
I figure there are too many big wrestlers at 170, and supposedly he may not fight at 155 again

*edit* LOL at all the overly literal and serious responses in this thread. I'm purposely ignoring things like cardio. It's just supposed to be a fun stylistic comparison.

Motherfuckers in here talking bout they are tired of stupid topics and/or Conor threads, yet they're always the same quickest jackasses to respond. If you're so tired of sherdog, log the fuck off and get a life. No one made you click the "Conor thread" Otherwise while you're here, take the stick out of you arses.

BADLY

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

He'd get slapped around

 

[x9lonewolf]

I could see him dropping and getting close to finishing a middleweight very early because of his speed and precision but eventually gassing out so hard and then getting finished bad.

 

[Midget Boxer]

Nope

Yes

*sarcasm*

 

[UnknownOrigin]

Conor vs Perreira is my dream fight

 

[Ares Black]

Yes

*sarcasm*

NO

*sincerity*

 

[textwarrior]

Thats cruel, you ever see a red headed step child get beaten by his dad.

 

[ElLunico]

He wouldn't survive 170 let alone 185

 

[PlayTheGame]

Something like this, I imagine.

 

[gaffbyknees2]

Like his whiskey, shitty.

 

[Mangar]

Conor would be unstoppable.

 

[Bearknuckle]

He would for sure 100% be the goat, he’d knock out everyone at MW, dominate then, defend the title 5x like he did in all the other weight classes he’s been in, and straight up skip LHW and go to HW and beat Ngannou and then Tyson Fury and be known as the best fighter in human history, who lost to nate diaz and dustin porier.

 

[Sasha]

Well he should ask a better one lol

"imagine if all the things that are wrong with conor,he doesnt have"

Of course he could, but it's not like we're the top of the crop regarding MMA knowledge anyway, we're just some humble tai chi forum members with above average penis size HHJ, don't forget that.

Bruh @GoshiShun17 SD isn't even able to have a serious or civil thread on a normal Conor topic, not sure why you thought this would/could have any real success. Most people can't be light hearted when it comes to Conor. Emotions run high when they start reading and see the C and the o in succession of each other, their heart beat rises and blood starts to boil.

Nor do I think the topic subject is one that really tickles the imagination in the first place. Dude has packed on some size, but not enough for MW. Dude doesn't have the frame for it. He doesn't even have the frame for WW.

 

[Volador]

I'm purposely ignoring things like cardio. It's just supposed to be a fun stylistic comparison.

Lol, not sure you can ignore cardio when it comes to style. Think of guys like Holloway and Strickland where their entire style is built around things like that. Also you can't ignore grappling, there's strikers like Whittaker whose entire style is built around mixing takedowns with the striking.

With that said, he'd get fucked up for the most part. Best (relevant) matchups would be Holland, Strickland, Till, and Shabahzyan. Strickland is like a Diaz, but with more size. If it's 5 rds he'd lose. The others might be a coinflip, although guys like Edmen and Till are huge compared to him. Conor without power and reach on his opponent is bad news. He might beat current Weidman though.

 

[Versez]

With killers like nassourdine imavov coming at 185… there’s no chance conor can compete there. Heck he was tailor made for 145 but screwed it all

 

[ryun253]

I was going to come back to Sherdog for this nonsense?

Welcome back !

Dude you come in here with a thread and spend most of your thread dissing other people. Just do your topic and carry on.

now to answer your question I think he is too small regardless of whether he is fighting a wrestler or striker. The strikers will hit him too hard and they will still take him down and pummel him with gnp.
