Less than one calendar year and winning 3 world titles.. That's an accomplishment that would likely stand for a very long time.

Thread answered. Who actually thinks he could last more than a minute with Lawler?
I love all the hype for these flavour of the month type guys as pathetic as it is the UFC has to resort to creating false stars
and manufacturing drama and hype to keep trendies and noobs attention because the reality is they just don't have any real legit stars like Liddell,Fedor,Hughes,Sakuraba etc.
This trend of propping up good/decent fighters like they were the second coming began with Cain I believe and then he got exposed by Werdum a pat it pride fighter from the 2000's then it was Sotiropoulas who was going to be the the lw champion don't hear about him anymore,lets see here I'm sure there was at least a couple more oh right Rousey who was the goat female athlete once in a lifetime greatness was the center of the universe for mma and then gets exposed and isn't talked about anymore and is thinking about quitting,the other one being Sage who is basically just got a beach body and looks like a celebrity is being talked about than guys like Rothwell(on a four fight winning streak),Werdum(way past it and is champion),Rockhold(defeated Weidman),so he ends up fighting Barberena who is at best an undercard fighter for now and taps to an arm triangle that wasn't even on tight.
The point is Coner can be hyped through the roof for the moment,he's overrated and is at least a 155er if not a natural 170er that beat up on fw's to get an easy title and he did to build his brand and it worked good for him but the moment he losses he will be completely forgotten about just like all the other flavours of the month and than a new flavour will come along.The difference between Fedor and Coner is that Fedor is talked about and legendary because of his incredible fights and winning streak against the best of the best where as Coner is is being hyped because of his antics,style and hipness to young trendies but the problem with that is that it has no staying power like fighters Wanderlei.Fedor Couture these type of fighters will be talked about forever because ofthere fights and the Coner's and Sage's of the mma world will not because they are just a gimmick and money maker for the time created for the casuals.
lol why? If he went 8-0 in the UFC and had 3 weight classes belts thats way better then what those guys did. Plus all three of them lost and Jose to Conor! Jose in his prime starched by a Prime Conor. Conor is already better than JoseNo, he'd still need more fights to be ahead of Silva, GSP, Fedor and Aldo's legacies
