The Difference between 145 and 168 Conor

[Jay philips]

23 pounds that is the difference

 

[own1997]

His weight cut in his first 4 fights in the UFC looked a lot better than after it. I think his body has completely outgrown FW.

Saying this, how much better would it be if fighters actually fought in their proper weight class?

 

[Camera]

Unfortunately, the tattoo doesn't look any better.

 

[Fatal Catro]

Definitely closer to his natural weight class.

 

[Break Brick]

yup. tho jones has defended his belt eight times in the hardest division

Hardest division...

Cute

 

[sickboy_1]

funny how he cuts so much weight so he can fight smaller guys

They all do it you dolt. What they dont all do....is move up a weight class to fight bigger guys. Not Aldo, not GSP, not Jones.

you mean like all the fighters do..
bisping beat hamil at 205, and beats spider at 185, near enough the same weight difference.

and jon jones, could easy be a HW, and if im not mistaken DC was a heavyweight champ in strike force..

you making out like conor is the only one..

jesus. i go for a meal at about 200, and easy come out 205...

He's gonna be much slower than normal

Nah, Bones is my boy but even I can admit he's fighting in a shallow-as-fuck division and has been fed more than his fair share of less-than-legit challengers.

Lyoto at 1-2 where the win was 476yo Randy.
Chael, a MW off a TKO loss and with zero fights at LHW for 7 years and 3-5 in his last 8 at LHW.
Vitor, a MW with zero fights at LHW for 5 years and 4-4 in his last 8 at LHW.
Shogun, busted knees and all, was only 3-2 in the UFC and one of those wins was over 342yo Mark Coleman.
Hell, even Rampage was only on a 2-win streak.

GSP and Aldo had more defenses in far deeper divisions than Bones and fought more legit challengers on average. On the other hand, the good news for us Bones fans is that just means our boy has work to do to get past Aldo and GSP, and it's going to be aces watching him do it.

He should have cut down to 145 just for fun, it would have rattled Nate so badly

Stupidest thing i Read today, had a legit lol, well done sir.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Just like Jones

Just like Brock.

 

[kathebrahl]

What this tells me is that he would have looked very solid at 155lbs. It's hard to imagine him going back to FW.

what this tells me is he would be a tiny welterweight

 

[Kahran]

Doubt it, but he'd be a monster at 155.

 

[jase0910]

Just like Jones

Jones has NEVER looked anything like 145 Conor on the scale, whether you like it or not.

 

[robjenkins2]

Doubt it, but he'd be a monster at 155.

So he won't be slower carrying around more weight? Tell me more please.

 

[Xplosive-Viking]

yup. tho jones has defended his belt eight times in the hardest division

HAHAHA are you for real!?!? LHW is probably the second or Third EASIEST divison.. Pretty shallow!

Getting closer to thirty will do that. Aging is a cruel bitch.

 

[Enders]

Amazing the lengths he went to to avoid fighting guys his own size.

 

[liverkick83]

So if he can't do FW, how much time would he have before relinquishing FW Belt, do you know?

That's why it sucks that RDA pulled out I think the plan was win the 155 belt than challenge for 170 and relinquish the 145 belt

More weight but more muscle and energy to move that weight
