Lets be Honest, if Conor fought at LW, he would be a poormans Pettis/Barboza and never be champ

[Biblical]

Thank God for Manlets.


If he had entered at LW(his natural weight class) and worked himself up thru the LW rankings, he would be top 10 at best(Thats with Dana White letting him get the easy route).

Conor would've gotten besmirched by BJJ/Wresters...and great strikers like Pettis/Barboza.

He got beat by Cabo Nate Diaz with 11 days notice..Imagine what full camp nate diaz or full camp LW's will do to Conor? Too scary to think about, Im sure Dana White gets chills just thinking about it.


Gladly for him, he ruled the manlet division so he became champ and skipped all the obstacles at LW.

While we're being honest... This thread sucks.

Conor is a better striker than Barboza and Pettis. Maybe not a better kicker, but a better striker overall. I imagine that opinion is gonna piss some people off, but fuck it. It's Friday and I'm feeling reckless.

Another fake bandwagoning 'Diaz fan'.

Funny that you joined the day after he won.

That is all.

Lets be honest if Nate fought at 170 he would get ragdolled by the top guys.

Lets be honest if Aldo fought at 155 he would be a poor mans Tibau

Am i doing it right?

Sooo...... he would be one of the most exciting fighters in the division, a former title holder or the best prospect in the division? Awesome thread, dude.

Yes Nate Diaz isn't 170 lbs...He is a LW who was drinking in Cabo got a phone call and with 11 days destroyed McGregor.

Aldo is out of his prime so probably.

He would be a poormans version...So not a title holder....Not that exciting....and not the best prospect of the division....He would be aight.

Let's be honest, If Mighty Mouse fought at Middlewieght in PRIDE, he'd be a poor man's Ninja Rua... are either of us doing this right?

Maybe. We'll have to find out against someone other than Nate Diaz. Why the UFC seems determined to push him up in weight is pretty dumb.

Conor would be top 10 maybe top 5.... His fight against Mendes and Nate showed his cardio is garbage... ever fight besides the aldo fight he would get tagged pretty easily.. he has skill no doubt, but he uses his height and reach for his success at FW.. I picked Aldo in their first fight and will pick Aldo in the rematch....

 

[SH10151]

there are lots of fighters spending their whole careers killing themselves to get a chance at the title. it was absolutely crazy they were planting seeds for a fight with Lawlor if he won. Nates win was a win for everyone on the roster lol

Some of you guys need to stop! Manlets (midgets), snakes?

"Lets be honest", "Can we all agree", "It's obvious that..." "Clearly" are all things that people say when they give opinions that are usually wrong.

That's my favorite Kenflo quote.

I dont know. He can still lay people out on a regular basis not named Diaz. Thats a big trump card. He reminds me a Liddell more than anyone w/o great TDD.

If he does conditioning he mocks and rounds out his striking he could make a run to the top of LW while his chin holds. Otherwise he will continue to be exposed now and again.

He has only done it against manlets...Not sure if he can do it against LW.

I know Tony Ferguson would walk thru Conor.
