Gomi would get beaten easily.
Gomi is my second favorite fighter of all time next to Lord Fedor! For me in his prime Gomi is the best LW of all time, I know some are going to laugh or whatever but go back watch his pride fights and watch his striking(boxing,tons of body shots with wide swooping powerful punches then followed up with knees to the body over & over)! At that time, he mixed everything up so perfect, and would beat on his opponents body & head like none that I can remember! His fight with Pulver, both fights with Azeredo, the Fucking FINISH in the first fight vs Azeredo! The Kwajiri fight he put a beating on your man, the Jean Silva fight was dope too! He would have mauled Conor, ko in the final minutes of the first round! No way Conor can take prime Gomi baseball pitch shoryuken power punch. Gomi was so gassed in his fight vs Nick Diaz that in the second round right before Nick pulled off one of the greatest submissions EVER, he got backed into the corner of the ring and threw a SHORYUUUUUUUUUUKEN power punch that landed & broke Nicks orbital bone! Hence the reason Nick went for the kill, train to kill always, do or die, Gomi did the desperate Conor terrible takedown technique, fucking stoned to da bizzzzoooone Diaz gogoplatta 209 bitches! Lol made me a Diaz fan instantly! War Gomi, Conor El Tapo stand no chanceooo koooooooLet's be real here.
Prime Gomi fought bigger guys with more well-rounded skill-sets, had more punching power, heart, and an iron chin.
Interestingly, the guys that the shot Gomi lost to in the UFC could (and one already has) all beat McGregor too.
Hayato Sakurai
155 Diego that's willing to go the ground taps conor
Please don't compare Sakurai to Jose Aldo who is arguably the most skilled fighter to ever live.
You asked for a fighter as well rounded as Aldo. Sakurai is more well rounded imo, never said he was more skilled.
We get it, Conor's your boy
Sakurai had much better boxing, his leg kicks were on par with Aldo's, he had the TDD, was good off his back, super difficult to submit.He's not. He may be more evenly skilled. But he is less skilled in every area. Aldo is the most complete fighter ever. Alongside Jones and GSP.

Lol. He'd get butchered. He couldn't bother Conor on the feet like Diaz. The reason Diaz won was because he rocked him. Diego has terrible stand up. The version that fought Gomi would get killed.
Mach was a BEAST, imo in the top 20 of greatest mma fighters ever!Sakurai had much better boxing, his leg kicks were on par with Aldo's, he had the TDD, was good off his back, super difficult to submit.
Sakurai did't have one blatant weakness. Time seemed to catch up with him instead.
He was also the #1 p4p fighter in the world when he was defeated by Anderson Silva
I'm not talking about some scrub here.
I said specifically a Diego that takes it to the ground. Don't pretend like conor can't be taken down
Diego has been in the ring with better boxers and heavier hittersThat's like saying a Conor who keeps it on the feet beats Shields. Means nothing. Diego would get killed.
In no universe or alternate reality would conor beat shieldsThat's like saying a Conor who keeps it on the feet beats Shields. Means nothing. Diego would get killed.
