So after all.. Which is Conor's natural 'weight-class'?

[migeru29]

Options:

1. Medium Featherweight (e.g. Mendes)
2. Big Featherweight (e.g. like Jone Bones being a 'light heavyweight')
3. Huge Featherweight (e.g. like Rumble being a 'welterweight')
4. Small Lighweight (e.g. Gomi)
5. Medium-size Lighweight (e.g. Dos Anjos)
6. Big Lighweight (e.g. Diaz)

7. Moneyweight - takes whatever fight would earn the UFC more money at the moment.

 

[maxi diablo]

super featherweight or junior lightweight

 

[OliverAtom]

Medium rare.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

He's a 155er.


Ego, heavyweight.


Ground game, Women's Atomweight.

 

[Summoning]

overratedweight.

 

[MadHouse]

he would be best suited at LW i would say he is a rather big LW taking things other than height into consideration
FW is a bit too harsh for him i mean any idiot could see he looks like death during weigh ins

 

[MMA]

Gomi is an odd choice... I have no doubt he could make 145, my only question with him is whether he could've made 135.

Conor is a big 145er but nothing too monstrous. I don't recall him being any bigger than Poirier.

You make a weight, that's your weight class.

Jon Jones just has very little weight in his legs compared to most. It's a peculiar physique.

Height has nothing to do with size.
Corey Hill was not bigger than Sean Sherk.

George Roop was not huge at BW, he was a stick.

Nate Diaz is not a huge LW. When he fought at WW, he looked quite undersized compared to the Donger and Rory.

He's clearly a 155'er.
Just look at him in the 145 weigh ins.
That can't be healthy.

 

[Bmurray]

155 in my opinion. His frame reminds me of Bendo's, but with a longer reach.

 

[El Fernas]

Money-weight.....wait that is gone for now. Big Featherweight, like everyone said, he did lose the power/weight advantage at LW, he can bulk a little to make a mid sized LW, but nothing more, stuck in the mud LW Nate got the best of him, and i loved it, i was betting on Conor to win this one tho.

It seems healthier than getting the shit kicked out of him

 

[UPAZWITTS]

I can't figure it out... my stones to pounds converter just crashed.

 

[FATM]

Medium sized 155 pounder.

 

[Faceplanter]

Yet he reversed BJJ black belt Nate Diaz and escaped his first submission (guillotine) attempt. CSB.

 

[LouisBolanos]

A 155 lbs adult male chimp would maul the UFC HW champion to death with no training.

It's not about natural weight classes, it's about how good you are. Conor simply isn't that good.

Blood is why he slipped out of the guillotine, bro. Also

Wrong. He rolled out of it. He reversed Nate in the first round also. An Irishman that's a brown belt in BJJ did this, a much smaller man. Sad. And we won't even go into the mutilated state of Nate's face through the first round and a half that Conor was using as a punching bag.

1 lb is much smaller now?

Conor fought a top 10 lightweight that was his size, and got handled. His power and chin look great against the 5'6" 158lb guys at featherweight, but it doesn't translate to lightweight.

What's Conor, 2-2 at lightweight? Lol you're shook, in full damage control mode, and I'm sure upset that you could be so fooled into thinking Conor would last long nger than 10 seconds with Lawler.

Conor got stopped in his tracks by several jabs, and hurt badly by a 70% volume punch. He would crumble the first time Lawler hit him clean. Mystic Mac becomes Mashed Taters.
