Khabib could never make 145, Conor is fighting at 170

[Doughie99]

conor always made weight weight like a true sportsman and was brave enough to move up and beat the Lightweight champion.

Khabib missed weight against Tony and missed weight against Justin...never moved up.

ps. have you ever asked yourself how Conor got from this (left pic) to this...(right pic)? Maybe you should consider that carefully.....

 

[Babaganoosh]

Conor is not fighting top opposition at WW and LW is apparently a tough cut for him.

He had a huge size advantage at FW. Now that he is fighting guys his size he is 3-2 and has not beaten a top fighter in 4 years.

 

[Terry Toughnut]

please, if khabib was a competitor he would test himself at a higher weight class instead of the one he kills himself to make

like him or hate him Conor was a monster at 145, did beat a 155 champ and has fought at 170 as well. Just facts

Competitor in the sense that he cared a lot about winning and less about entertaining.

 

[Goat St Pierre]

Conors best performances have been against manlets. Outside of FW hes 3-2 In the UFC

always passed the test...not saying he's clean but am I suppose to think a Russian is clean?

Didn't they get banned from the olyimpics

 

[HHJ]

Anyone considering Conor as someone *really* fighting at 170 is trolling

I hope that's a bad angle. How the hell does he look so flabby there? Never seen him out of shape like that.

Well in history of combat sports (boxing, mma etc.), the only preferred time you should move up (or change weight classes) is when you cleared out your division or if you are struggling in your own weight class and believe your frame suits at a higher/lower weight class. Khabib knows this and he did it the right way in his stacked division. Conor only did it because of he had the privilege to hand pick opponents, via inside politics, and pick those stylistically match well for him. He did move up and handpick a bum Nate when RDA pulled out (though a red hot Cowboy Cerrone that time who just fought was ready to go and was offered by the UFC) and look what happened, Nate took everything away from him. It was a dumb move.

Khabib really hurt some people on here.

the left pic was taken at APPROX the time of the Chad Mendes fight I think. Maybe a bit afterwards.
stunning transformation lol...

He's not fought a real welterweight. He's purely fighting at 170 against lightweigths so that they don't have to cut weight. Which is smart as well since it avoids the useless weightcuts, but it doesn't definite "brave" in any way.

 

[Lemmy Caution]

Khabib is a better overall fighter than Conor but he isn't as brave imo


He kills himself to get to 155 to get all the advantage he can get. Smart business move but def not P4P type stuff.


Respect to guys like BJ, Anderson, Conor, DC, Henry and even GSP. real P4P stuff

Conor isn't fighting at 170. Two 155 guys deciding to fight each other at 170 isn't fighting at 170. They could call the fight 205 if they wanted to. If Conor had fought Masvidal at 170, it would be 170.

 

[Mamou]

Conor is fighting LWs at WW. Not sure how that's impressive to some people

 

[El Fernas]

Conor could fight at 205...against a washed up 155er of course...

 

[NurmaGOATedov]

Conor is too lazy and too much of a weak bitch to do a weight cut so he fights 155 lbers at 170.

Khabib isn't brave? Remember this is after Khabib gave Conor a beatdown. Conor needed 50 guys to try and attack Khabib on a bus.

 

[Ladron4sherdog]

Brave guys don't beg their opponents to stop beating them up.

 

[Snake Master]

Conor has only ever fought 155lbs guys (at 170lbs) who SIMPLY DIDNT CUT weight to 155, (Diaz, Cerrone) so your point is utterly invalid.

Conor would get pulverized by a real 170lber, fighters who walk-around at 195lbs approx or even more.

Conor is basically a fake.
He's 1-1 at lightweight (0.500, woo-hoo) and he's never fought a real Welterweight.
Zip-zappidy-doo-da.

Khabib can fight welterweights at middleweight to make it even then. Rat.

Khabib needed 30 guys to fight .500 Artem Lobov.

The man has retired.

Get used to it.
