If Tibau, Guida, Jeremy Stephens and Tyson Griffin can do it

[KB Warrior]

Then I don't see why Conor can't also and in the process become the first ever to hold two belts at the same time.

if a flyweight could sub conor i don't see why the lightweight champion can't do it.

If Conor tap to a flyweight then I don't see why the champ at lightweight can't do the same

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Those fights were quite a few years ago, RDA has improved hugely since then. the last 2 years he is a totally better fighter. Also the Tibau fight he won, that was a bullsh*t decision, all Tibau did was try and hold him and RDA landed much more strikes and controlled the fight more.

 

[dmwalking]

I guess the guy who beat Aldo like 10 years ago could still beat him now. Or maybe Ryo Chonnan can make a comeback. LOL.

 

[Spycho]

It depends; is the bionic jaw on his left, or right side?

Yeah, okay.

But i don't think the rhtoric is that RDA can't win. I think that's the assumption.

I like what you did there.

Conor has the best chance of holding 2 belts due to his notoriety. Bypassing rankings and not having to climb the ladder by fighting contenders is a huge advantage.

If a smaller, weaker, past-prime, 36-year-old Dennis Siver can do this only 2 fights ago...

then I don't see why RDA can't wrestlefuck Conor.

Dos Anjos is probably the most improved fighter. In these early fights he was a guy with a lot of tools but he just hadn't put it together yet.

If a smaller, weaker, past-prime, 36-year-old Dennis Siver can do this only 2 fights ago...

then I don't see why RDA can't wrestlefuck Conor.

By do this, you mean eat a bunch of body shots and get stuffed on a takedown?

 

[El Fernas]

Mendes was sort of able to impose his game on Conor for the better part of 2 rounds i trully cant see why RDA could not do it for 5 (or less if he gets the stoppage).

 

[LouisBolanos]

The amount of crow-eating on Sherdog post-196 will be a glorious sight to behold.

Popcorn bless.

 

[MYSTXRIVL]

ur dumb af, gleison is a top 5 lightweight of all time... and the other two are pretty good

 

[caxias]

By do this, you mean eat a bunch of body shots and get stuffed on a takedown?

No, I mean he will "wrestlefuck" him.

RDA > Siver, by far.

PS: I predicted that Conor would KO Aldo in the first round, now i'm predicting that RDA will win by submission or decision.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

Oh you mean beat RDA. Because you stated none of that in the thread title or the thread itself.
