Media Poirier and Conor last five opponents

[Landolorian]

Didn't Dusting get KO while defending in block???

Wasn't it an early stoppage?

 

[DarkRaven]

Wasn't it an early stoppage?

If you said dive, OK, but early hell no, face down, fetal position no active defense. Dustin was KOed.

Habib is the LW GOAT easily.
Show me a former LW champion that was as dominant as him and has the names equivalent to Conor, Dustin and Gaethje on their resume which were all finishes. Tied the LW title defences at 3 with Bendo, Penn and Edgar. Never dropped, cut and arguably lost only two rounds in his MMA career.
And he retired undefeated.
You cant.
Habib is not the GOAT overall cause he doesn't have a deep enough resume like Silva, Jones and GSP but him being a LW Goat is already established and supported by everyone following this sport

The only fighter in UFC history to win his first 16 fights without a loss is the Spider followed by Khabib at 13. The Spider does have lossse in and outside of the UFC to lesser men. Everyone can have there option of who is goat but Khabib most certainly is in the conversation.

"DuStIn WaS BeStInG fWs". Yet Conor's best wins bar Eddie are all over FWs.

Between the MJ loss and the Khabib loss, every win Dustin obtained on that streak was over a champion or former champion. Meanwhilst Conor fought......oh yeah, Cowboy and a loss to Khabib.

You are wrong.
I am talking about the picture. Max is the only FW in that picture. “Yeah Cowboy” you mean the winningest fighter in ufc history? “And a loss to Khabib” no doubt but he did significantly better than Dustin! What’s even better is there is no legitimate need for mma math here. Connor has already owned and finished Dustin in the past so I don’t know what you are randomly trying to argue about

I agree Conor beats Dustin but you're talking out your arse by belittling Dustin with the ridiculous statement he was beating FWs, he beat one who was the current champ.

As I said, Conors best wins are at FW so you've contradicted yourself. Yes Cowboys had the most wins but look where he was when Conor fought him.

Also, who cares Conor lasted longer against Khabib, they both ended in the same outcome for both guys. What a ridiculous statement.

Since they first fought, Dustin arguably has beat the better guys.

You are just arguing over nothing.

Everything I said was a fact. I said the picture has FWs on Dustins side and that was true. The fact that Connor has a better FW record than Dustin too is irrelevant .

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

khabibs record is super light. He’s only beaten 4-5 guys in his career that you could say were at the top of the heap.
Conor who hasn’t really been a fighter since the may weather fight, Justin, dustin and rda. He beat Edson who is dangerous but never even challenged for a belt. Al who was basically a retired real estate agent at the time and pat healy.

then take Dustin into account

wins over hooker which is a comparable win to khabib/barboza beat Alvarez, Justin, pettis and Holloway x2 I am also favouring him to beat Conor in the upcoming fight

it’s not like one is hands down a better resume but if you take into context the situation of when the fights all took place I like Dustins resume more

Khabib has more than 4 wins of note dude. Come I now. They both have 8 or so lightweight fights of note but Khabibs top wins edge put Dustin imo. Conor, Dustin, RDA, Gaethje, Barboza, MJ, and Al make a very strong resume. If Dustin beats Conor and Olivera then I'd say he for sure has the better one

Khabibs best wins are against former 145ers , not the goat bj penn is

 

[Jack Swilling]

One of the two has been KTFO twice
One has never been KTFO

One of the two held two undisputed championships in two weight classes simultaneously
One has never held an undisputed championship in any weight class

One of the two will be favored by the bookies who are right far more often than they are wrong

In his last six fights Conor has won two undisputed championships
Clearly the OP does not want to face reality

 

[The Chosen]

If he doesn't let the mental aspect of McGregor get to him, I think we're in for a great fight tbh. It's a test to see where both fighters are in their career.

Considering Conor is KOing him within 20 seconds it won’t be much of a test

 

[TrueBias]

Agreed, it really is the only reason i can see Conor winning.

 

[eighterumg5]

That picture says it all.

connors competition has been ten times better. While Dustin was besting FWs, barely getting by hookers or getting owned by Khabib, Connor was owning the winningest fighter in ufc history, taking rounds from Khabib and beating a man three times his size. With a ballooned foot and all

You fuckin with me?

 

[mjfan23]

You fuckin with me?

Yes i am trolling

 

[eighterumg5]

Yes i am trolling

<[analyzed}>

 

[mjoln]

He's always "sober" until he loses or looks bad, then all of a sudden he's a drunk who didn't prepare...

Like "motivated bj penn"

"....but this time he will...."
How the fuck we know? We dont

And btw, I dont judge those guys.
We all do stupid shit

 

[snaportap21]

Imagine performing like that against Diaz at 170 at then getting a instant shot at 150. Only to lose right away

After Edgar got a title shot after two straight loses anything is possible. Hendo also got a worse title shot lol.

 

[Tony Blades]

Poirier has a better resume but unfortunately I don't think he has the striking skills to hang with McGregor.

 

[Lemmy Caution]

Now that I think of it a bit more I actually think he’s not JUST the second best LW he’s actually the best Openweight fighter ever too.

Right. Sakurabaesque.

LOL. I will look into it.
