Prime Rory Mcdonalds vs current elite WW

[DanDragon Machi]

How good would be his chances? Rory used to have good results against grapplers (Woodley, Ellenbergue, Demian) and his defeats in his prime was to strikers (Lawler, Condit, Wonderboy) but in pretty close fights. On the other hand he completely dominated Nate Diaz if you consider him as a striker

I think he would beat Shavkat and Maddalena and even if he lost he would give a tough challenge for Usman and Belal. Against Edwards I think would be a extremely close fight

he has a hard time when other fighters don’t break. strong-willed, aggressive fighters have his number.

Would be champ

He'd maul Belal. Leon Edwards and Kamaru would be tough fights, and Shakhvat a bit of an unknown quantity, but I don't think he'd be challenged beyond that.

Post these in the fantasy matchup sub going forward. Thanks.

Prime Rory McDonald vs. Ian Garry

Who wins? I see some similarities. Not really in the way they fight, but the fact both are/were very well-rounded but neither are super dangerous anywhere (neither has serious 1-punch KO power, super dominant wrestling like Khabib/GSP, etc.). Most of their fights go to a decision. Both are good...
