If Conor was more efficient could he take on someone like Palhares? (Gifs inside)

[sparkyjohannsen]

I think we all have a pretty good idea of what would happen if Conor fought Paul Harris.

Conor about Palhares :

 

[Cowboy Cerroliveira]

Listen to me. Conor has never fought a 170 pounder. Welterweights are huge compared to what you saw Nate and Conor fight at. You are talking 195 pound fighters compared to Conor and Nate weighed in at around 168-169 pounds. That is 25 pounds of MUSCLE short of what a Welterweight actually fights at. Real Welter's toss Nate around like a shake weight, wtf do you thnk they would do to Conor?

Its the SIZE some of you don't seem to understand.

Indeed...it makes one question what Conor and Gunnar Nelson actually do when they're "sparring".

 

[Paynebringer]

OH Snap!

Touching each other's bum?

Conor's leg would break. On to the next "how would Conor do against (insert larger stronger fighter)" thread.

 

[chickenlip]

Not a chance he can compete with a guy like that. Conor's overall grappling is below average and Palhaeres is very dangerous on the ground and has good takewdowns

 

[Thecyborgmj23]

 

[Breaking]

No.

 

[El Fernas]

Weigh-in and fight night weight are two very different things, Conor probably only cut a very few lbs to make the 170lbs limit, but Paul Harris seem like one of the big WW´s, even when he seems a little short.

Conor fought a legit LW, fighting a legit WW it´s a whole other story, specially one with that good grappling game.

 

[Lovestorm]

Conor would not be efficient with his legs. Palhares would be efficient with Conor's legs.

 

[deltapapha]

i think a ninja needs to sneak in palhares's house at night, sedate him, snip both heel tendons and get him out of combat sports.

 

[CodCommando]

Paul Harris is the most violent UFC fighter, he's a dangerous Brit, he'd spank the Irishman.

 

[MattyPeq]

lol
McGregor would get destroyed. I like him, but I'm sincere.

 

[Abazzdeboom]

Conor would tear his head off clean

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

He would pop his knee and leave Conor on the shelf for over a year

 

[sprucelees]

probably not

 

[Nightmaree]

Palhares would win, refuse to let go of the submission, then get popped for steroids.

He should never be allowed anywhere near a cage ever again.

dat forearm

That is genuinely scary. The fear of fighting that guy must affect people, he might just decide to not let go and boom, your in a wheelchair.

I love Paul Harris, the fighter Sherdog deserves - along with Tank of course.

 

[KONE]

dat forearm

It's like a very muscular thigh attached to someone's hand and elbow

That is genuinely scary. The fear of fighting that guy must affect people, he might just decide to not let go and boom, your in a wheelchair.

Heel hooks are scary, no doubt. The fact that this guy is a specialist in that is probably intimidating enough.

Then you have to deal with the possibility that he might not let go. He has serious issues.
