Like whom? 20 year old Max? Depleted Dustin who ducked into a shot? Out of the woods from a hunting trip, Mendes?
Oh wait.. I bet you mean Siver? Yeah, you got me there. All those guys were undefeated monsters at the time. Everyone was even the reigning champ, too. How could I be so silly?
Just a little common sense, and context goes a long way. I can’t discount the Aldo win, but if they fought a thousand times. That result, that quickly would never be repeated. Then Conor never fought in the division again.
Would any of you have the confidence to put down your life savings if Conor had to fight LW Dustin (Ridiculous), 2019 Max (Exponentially more mature in his game, and life. And not injured in round 1), or full camp Mendes (Way better gas tank)? I fucking doubt it.
That’s not to say he couldn’t actually win any of these fights, but come on. Change those metrics up just a bit. I’m confident you would have seen different results.
