Remember those days Conor's fanboys claimed he would KO Cowboy easily?

[Andy Anderson]

I think Conor is not even a top 5 material. These fighters will beat him easily

RDA
Khabib
Pettis
Nate Diaz
Eddie Alvarez
Edson Barboza
LW Benson
Josh Thomson
Cowboy
melendez
Ferguson
MJ

Outside UFC:
Will Brooks
Michael Chandler

 

[Death By Samson]

Hell, I remember when they said he would KO Lawler.

 

[Shaddows]

Anyone who claims so and so could easily beat some other fighter, I tend to disagree...

He would not be favorite for sure, but from that to get easily beaten.....

 

[danny23]

Most top LWs would walk through his punches.
He's not hurting anyone above 145 lbs.

 

[FleximusPrime]

Why, did they fight over the weekend in private or something?

 

[Cooliox]

"3-division champ by the end of the year." LOL

 

[randomg1t]

Hell, I remember when they said he would KO Lawler.

i still want them to put this fight together, just so i can see the look on his face when robbie hits him.

he will have a hard time beating anyone in the top 10 at 155, the monsters at 170 would tear his fucking head off.

 

[giusti825]

nate is better than cowboy......cowboy wilts if he takes a hard shot early.....conor puts him away easy.....

I still think conor loses the rematch against nate tho.....

 

[HUNTERMANIA]

Conor would KO cowboy in the first round

I'm not even a mcgregor fan but let's be real, cowboy starts slow and can be hurt. that fits mcgregor perfectly - he keeps his head straight up in the air. Conor would TKO him I think if he didn't fall into a sub after knocking him down

 

[Sonny Qc]

Well Benson and Thompson are in Bellator now
Should also put them "outside" the UFC.
But yeah, Conor doesn't beat anybody in the top 8 at 155 in the ufc

 

[Noah]

Yes Conor does finish Cowboy very easily actually, and cleaner than RDA did.

 

[LostMyBlackBelt]

Conor is a chode but he is still good enough to get by Mendes and Aldo, so he is pretty good. Of course he can KO people at 155. Nate can sure take a punch.

 

[SCTwins]

Do people just sit around daydreaming about Conor all day?

Or is there just literally nothing else to talk about?

 

[anthony stark]

Those days...

I still think it. Cowboy wilts at the slightest bit of pressure.

Benson, Fergie, and Khabib are his toughest opponents. The rest get stiffened one way or another.

Like the way conor stiffened against nate?

 

[Ash Ketchum]

Hell, I remember when they said he would KO Lawler.

I'm pretty sure there were a couple of threads claiming he would destroy Rockhold as well.

 

[Frankel]

Was it really Conor 'fanboys' that claimed he would KO Cowboy easily or was it pretty much every person that's a fan of the sport? I don't know if you people understand how difficult it is to knock Nate Diaz out.

 

[camelfarmer1]

True top level guys are tougher than most people - even fighters realise. Until they hit them and they just smile and keep advancing, which is exactly what lawler would do. Then Conor better run cause he gonna get killed.

 

[ScarletnGray 33]

I don't have strong feelings toward Conor either way, but as much as I like Cerrone I don't think he eats all those bombs that Diaz took.

 

[Deleted member 502383]

Troll's aren't even making an effort anymore.

 

[Death By Samson]

He would KO Lawler.

He would lose to Rory and maybe Maia.

Nate can eat his punches but Lawler can't?
