I'm pretty sure most of current Welter Weights in UFC would beat Conor McGregor as long as they fight at 160 or higher.

Conor's significant length (height/reach) disadvantage will fail him in the striking department sooner or later. And holes in his ground game was shown to a full-exposure by Chad Mendez. He needs to invent or learn short man's fighting style if he wants to move up in weight again (Now, he would get outstruck by Bobby Green who is ranked 12 at LW by Zuffa).

In my opinion, Diaz fought too defensively and guys like Demian Maia and Keita Nakamura should be able to take him down and win via submission in the first round.

Seriously? Nate said he wanted to start slow since he had no training camp and his cardio would not be as good..
So your opinion < Nate

You'll see, Keita Nakamura will be a top contender....
 
For me Demian Maia will always be the guy who got clowned by Silva for 5 rounds straight throwing maybe 3 punches the whole match lol

Then at the end acted like he wanted to throw hands when he just got son'd for 4 and a half rounds.

it was the most embarrassing performance I have ever seen by a fighter and people were mad at Silva after that. You challenge someone for the belt, you have to come up with something and not just stand there like a scared little kid.

Exactly.
 
Breaker breaker, come in Earth, this is Rocket Ship 27, aliens fucked over the carbonator on engine four, I'm gonna try to refuckulate it on Juniper. Uhh, and hopefully they've got some, space weed there, over. How... how was that buddy? I don't fuckin' know.

Ricky... that's not very good. Use space words, real ones, not talking about space weed.

NAYSA, power rockets are firin' all over the place... they got lasers that are shootin' and uh... Bubbles I can't fuckin' do this.

gonna share what you've been smokin?
 
One thing I do agree with you is I do truly believe Bobby Green would beat McGregor, not because it's McGregor but stylistically I think he matches up very well, would be a fight I'd be interested in seeing even purely for the striking aspect of it.

Ricky, I'm telling you, you gotta stop growing pot.

Come on, man, you can't tell me to do that.

I'm serious Ricky.

You can't tell me to do that. It's like telling the NWA to stop being black.

Just like Paixao in WEC back in the days....... Nakamura has the tools to beat the best fighters around the world. But his lack of explosiveness and killer-instinct doesn't back up his technicality to full extent.

You're right. Bobby Green should outstrike McGregor and win 30-27. But having a name "Green" doesn't mean he'll get a shot at the Irish anytime soon.
