is Conor the UFCs greatest knockdown artist?

[TR1]

Also the only top guy who Khabib knocked down:

 

[613]

I think we all know it's Anderson but far

 

[D'z]

Josh Emmet(10)???

Wow. Had no idea I'd see his name on that list.

I mean, he definitely had a fast track through the UFC. But idk about cherry picking (except Cowboy, that was a dumb fight). He starched the reigning champ, beat up Mendes. He moved up and wanted to face the reigning champ RDA at 155, no questions asked. The Diaz replacement wasn’t a cherry pick.

Dennis Siver was 100% another cherry pick for him at the time.

He didn’t pick that opponent. By definition, cherry picking is your call

Alvarez took a dive. He didn’t even sell it.

Like Wtf are we doin now

I've never heard of a knockdown artist before.

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Who can argue with fighters that cherry-pick their credentials for greatness?

Must be the dollar store version of a knockout artist

That's a perfect way to put it lmao.

Conor is p4p the hardest puncher in the history of combat sports. His nuclear left is one of those punches fighters get shocked by, its like they cant even believe how hard he just hit them.

He may not have specifically but I doubt Siver is the only opponent they put forward for him at the time, a lot more ranked guys were calling him out at the time.

Then weirdly we got the Siver fight announced.

Pretty much all of Conors opponents said it wasnt the power that shocked them it was moreso the speed of them rather than the power behind them.

No, I’m just not an ass kisser.

The only way you have more knockdowns than fights is if you don't knock the guys out because you're a manlet.

 

[Mr Joyboy]

Yes, by far.

 

[Fioretti]

goat kockdown artist ?

Nope!

• Most finishes in UFC title fights (9) <--- should be 10*
• Most knockdowns in UFC history (18)
• Most knockdowns in UFC title fights (10)
• Most knockouts in UFC title fights (7)

The GOAT still holds his records. Get good, girls.

Lazy bum is having his cherries picked for him. /s(/s?)

Screw an actual legacy of being the best, by beating the next best for many years. Cherry picking anything that makes him look good. While ignoring the rest. And the rest is actually what tells the whole story.

Just screw off.

In a row he's fought:

#5 Poirier
#10 Siver
#1 Mendes
(C) Aldo
#5 Nate
#4 Nate
(C) Eddie
All-time great Floyd
(C) Khabib
#5 Cerrone
#2 Dustin

Fuck off. There's tons of top fighters who have fought far less ranked fighters than he has. Like everybody raves about Tony and Khabib's big win streaks even though only Cerrone and RDA were top 5, meanwhile Khabib's only top 5 fighters were his 3 defences.

He's actually been much more active at fighting the top fighters than he gets credit for.
