Is Conor going to dominate the LW division?

[Hurricane Brad]

Now that Khabib is gone and Conor seems to be back to his fighting ways, is he going to be a dominant champ?

Dominant champs have to defend, so I would say no. It's possible he'll be champ again, but he'll most likely keep holding up the belt as a promotional tool for himself and not defend it as he's done in the past.

If Franca was 158 then he would have been stripped.

Watch the fight and stop talking out of your ass

You are embarrassing yourself. Show me another source.

I would put Tony as his toughest matchup but I'd favor Conor over everybody else

you’re welcome

For what?

Did they fight for the 158lb title ?

Diaz didn't miss weight and neither did Franca. The title fight was official. I think that the WEC LW limit was 160 pre Zuffa.

155 pounds. Maybe they both missed weight and commission allowed it

How was this one a title fight?

Dude on the right weighed 157 according to that

I don’t know, maybe WEC was a bush league that allowed fighters to miss weight for title fights

Google "nate diaz" and "missed weight" and show me one source that he missed weight for the franca fight. I just watched that whole clip and the announcers didn't say shit about it.

Don't you think that the announcers might mention it at least once if both fighters missed weight in a title bout? What does common sense tell you?

Again, do a search and show me just one article that claims Diaz and Franca missed weight.

There are no articles about it as that fight wasn’t news worthy and I can’t find any articles about it. What we do know:

fight was scheduled for 155lbs

Nate was 160lbs

What else do you need to know?
The earth is round, man. I can’t show it you here, but it doesn’t change the fact

Here's an article about WEC 24. And not one mention of a weight miss. You would think that both fighters missing weight in the main event title fight and then the title fight being made official anyway would be news worthy wouldn't you?

Maybe yes maybe no. We only know 2 things, the fight was for the 155lbs belt and Nate weighed in 160lbs. End of the story

Here's another article on WEC 24. And again no mention of a weight miss. There are no mentions anywhere - besides you. Articles were written about this card. Show me a source.

I'm sorry I saw nothing about beating on Cowboy, no disrespect to Cowboy but he's far from the Cowboy of old.

Nobody should use that fight as a case for Conor. Cowboy was unfortunately nothing but a gimmie fight.

It's unfortunate that is the most recent fight that what we get to gauge him on it's a "What have done lately" business two division was a long time ago.
