Is Conor going to dominate the LW division?

GOATtalks said:
Well that’s not true at all. Did Conor choose to fight Mendes? Or Nate? He doesn’t care and he’ll fight anyone. Before Khabib’s fight Sherdog was bitching that Conor is afraid and that he will never fight him. He did. Not long ago everyone said he will never fight a top contender again. He’s fighting Dustin in 2 months, who is the best contender at the moment.

Yea he chose to fight Mendes who was out hunting moose or whatever and not in the gym at the same time bypassing Frankie Edgar who was fit and ready. Conor chose Nate thinking he could just out style him not realizing just how durable Nate is and got his ass choked in the 1st fight and ran for his life in the 2nd to get the most decisive **majority decision**.

Conor had little choice in fighting Khabib if he wanted his belt back so he had to man up, instead of coming up with a solid fight plan he tried to mind f*k Khabib thinking he was another Aldo and we all know how that turned out. I'm glad he's fighting Dustin, Dustin as come a long way since FW and Conor may feel a sense of ease since he won way back when but that was then this is now...

It's like you're pretending Justin and Conor are the exact same fighter with exact same fighting attributes...

Pretend Conor didn't get his ass kicked by Nate Diaz and finished.

Point is Tony was getting his ass kicked and he didn’t take it to the ground, where he should have an advantage. All of his last fights were stand up and he isn’t known for his wrestling. He has great BJJ, but he doesn’t use it that much

GSP or Jones would never accept short notice and going up in weight as well. Conor is afraid of anyone

You should look at their common opponents and then make conclusions.
Take Poirier. He got KTFO by Conor and MJ in other first round. Nate schooled MJ and went 1-1 with Conor. Nate also boxed the shit out of prime Cowboy. Yet every unproven prelim guy is better than him? Makes sense

MMA math doesn't work. Porieir was not in his prime when he fought MJ. And Michael Johnson is inconsistent af.

And yes, Nate would get destroyed by all those unranked killers that I listed.

Fiziev would use nate as a punching/kicking bag.

Tsarukyan would beat nate on the feet and absolutely brutalized him on the ground.

Riddell is better than nate in every area of striking.

Leonardo Santos and Davi Ramos would take nate down and schooled him on the ground.

Ismagulov would schooled nate on the feet.

considering how ferguson reacted to gaethje's jab, mcgregor will KTFO ferguson pretty easily

Tony was training for Khabib leading up to that fight and if Conor was as confident in his abilities as you are he would've already fought Tony.

Probably beacause Jones and GSP were too busy defending their titles against number 1 contenders. GSP went up in weight and won a title. Jones is moving up as we speak. Andy went up during his reign in weight and on short notice, AND won.. Get off that Conor D bud!!

GSP only moved up 4 years later coming from retirement because he knew he could beat Bisping, Bisping was one of the easiest targets at the linage of the UFC middleweight champions.

Dana said GSP didn't want to fight Anderson Silva between 2008-2012.

Jones is the GOAT, GSP is #2, closely followed by Khabib. But that’s not the point. Point is you can’t say Conor cherry picks fights, when he’s fighting the champs ( Aldo, Alvarez, Khabib), late replacements( Mendes, Nate) and top contenders like Poirier

You kinda mean like Conor moving up to fight Alvarez, an easy target and a good style match up??
And Conor only moved up because he physically had to..

When did GSP & Jones jump into the conversation watching politics over the last few years I recognize this as a pivot.

It wasn’t a dis on Jones or GSP, but a praise for Conor, as he did what many champions would refuse to do

He was scheduled to fight RDA. And before the fight everyone was saying that Conor is a easy win for Eddie
 
I think in the current climate at LW that McGregor has a better chance to dominate the division than BJ Penn does.

:)

Well, it's true.
 
Given the fact that he never defended either of his titles, I don't think Conor would dominate any division.
 
Now that Khabib is gone I don’t favor any of the current lw against Conor. There are people on Sherdog that would rather saw off their leg than admit Conor is better than a bum level fight though.

He didn’t fight Tony because of the same reason Khabib didn’t fight him- COVID.
