Prime FW Conor vs Volk

Honestly I might favor Conor. His cardio was never as good as Volks nor was his wrestling or grappling but I think his defensive wrestling would have probably been good enough to keep the fight mostly upright vs Volk. Volks chin has never struck me as great and he really seemed to have trouble with Islam's length, timing, counters and being a southpaw. Conor was also a southpaw, quicker, hit harder and the his ability to time and counter was always quite good.

I think we forget but Conors run at 145lbs was amazing through Holloway, Poirier, Mendes and Aldo...Absolutely a generational talent, I think he was always a little small and lacked the physicality for 155lbs no matter how much he tried to build muscle, 145lbs was Conors best division.

Hard to say, Conor's TDD is underrated and Volk isn't Khabib or Mendes level with his offensive wrestling. Would likely be a striking match.
 
Styles make fights and Conor would beat Volk but lose to Islam.
 
Volk aint stupid. Right hand up, game over for conor.

Prime volk x Prime Aldo would have been one of the best fights ever tho. Fan of both. Truly no idea who takes it, maybe Aldo via leg kicks

Conor beat prime Aldo in 14 seconds??
 
Lmao. Unbelievable….The nutthuggery, hype and delusion still remains after all these years.

Get those irish balls off your face, sherbro… and look at things objectively. Coner was a formidable fw but Volk would beat him soundly. It wouldn’t be competitive past the second round. The little man is on another level of fight iq, speed, strength and conditioning. Same fate goes for Aldo.

People were naming Volk the best fighter of all time for beating past their prime fighters. Fighters that Conor put away in their prime. Conor finishes Volk in the first.
