• Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version.

Props to Conor, the GOATS rarely fought above their weightclass if at all

Imagine Jones's first fight after beating shogun was at HW?

Fedor is the noble exception.


He's been prepared to fight across three weight classes at any time, that's almost non-existent in mma these days..

Yeah respect for Conor moving up. Nobody else moving up to take on the number 5 guy the next division up, he might have been one of Dana's kids but he's a great fighter. He's just not a deity like so many believed.

TS, you forgot Anderson. He was the number one ranked WW in the world at one point.
 
McGregor is not going to stop beating midgets from now on, you better believe it!
 
WTF, GOAT??? This is what pissed me off so much about his fans. He just won the belt, Aldo is still far and away his superior in all time status

I'm not saying Conor is a GOAT,
I'm saying most of the fighters with the best records, stayed in their weight class.

Fighters like Saku, Penn and Mcgregor take the plunge and as a result they will more often pay the price.
 
'The fcuk you talking about?!

Fyodor spent an entire MMA CAREER above his weight

Edit: Somebody beat me to it ^^
Edit #2: Didn't read the OP (Fyodor was credited, my mistake).

Ah I misread it. Yeah it is the stuff of legend but if you want to be Saku you have to take a few titans down
 
Props for what? Finally fighting someone his own size for the first time in the ufc?

then bitching out and turning panic wrestler and giving up as soon as the fight hit the ground (where he tried to get it to after turning panic wrestler)?
 
But yeah, Conor is no GOAT, never was close.

Conor only has 3 wins vs Top 10 Ranked opponents for his career. Mike Brown has more.
