He's correct though, that opinion is world class stupid. Conor just got smashed by a fringe top 5 LW and you think a fight with the #1 WW would go either way? Conor couldn't hurt Diaz and couldn't take his power, hows he going to beat a way bigger guy with even better ability to take punishment and infinitely more power?

Conor is drawing extremely thin here.

Really? I don't think so. Lawler looked like shit most of the time at middleweight. I think Rockhold gets him down and dominates him on the ground before submitting him. Luke's top control is great.

Yea I'd be impressed if Lawler made it past 2 rounds against any top 5 MW.
 
I was going to vote Lawlor vs rockhold because that's a fight I've been wanting to see since Strikeforce would be a whole Lotta violence and then I seen DJ vs Cruz 2 now that is a must see fight

You put too much stock in weight classes like so many. You use their weight division as their main way of describing the fighters (ie "top 5 LW"), when weight is just one size variable and size itself is just one variable of many in a complicated style matchup. You also use hyperbole too much (ie "world class" stupid, Conor got "smashed" by Diaz, way bigger guy, infinitely more power).

Robbie doesn't have Nate's boxing skills or his reach advantage and he isn't as tall. He wouldn't have reach on Conor. He's also taken a lot of punishment in his last few fights (I'm sure he holds some sort of record for total rounds fought in a certain span of time), and while he's notoriously durable, the chin doesn't recover, and everyone's fades eventually. So, there's some advantages that Conor has in the Robbie fight that he didn't have in the Nate fight. And let's not forget, Conor/Nate was an extremely competitive fight, and one in which Conor was in control the majority of the time.

Real life isn't like a video game. The fighters don't have simple "chin" and "power" stats. It isn't as simple as "Conor couldn't KO Nate so how could he KO Robbie?". This is a totally different matchup, Robbie has different types of movement and defensive instincts, and shots wouldn't be landed at similar angles, so there's no way you can say with such certainty that Conor couldn't KO Robbie. Both fighters are knockout artists and I'm sure they're both capable of knocking each other out if they go about it the right way.

And remember, I'm only stating that the fight could go either way, not that Conor will win. But not only am I wrong, but I'm so wrong that it's particularly stupid? That says a lot, especially considering the fact that we're on Sherdog.
 
People really want to see Cruz vs McG? I like Cruz but he'd be at a considerable size disadvantage against Conor and we all know how much Conor enjoys his size advantages.
 
I want to see JJ vs werdum most of all but I still feel cheated not seeing the RDA vs Conor fight.
 
I see a Jones vs Werdum fight going similarly to the OSP fight. OSP and Werdum are obviously very different fighters, but I still think Jones will win the same way, maybe without any of the takedowns or even TD attempts. He'll outpoint him on the feet and win a decision.
 
Werdun-Jones, because it must be fun.
McGregor-RDA because it was already planned, and I want to see if the original plan was better or worse than the alternative one.
Tate-Joanna, because Tate is like a much stronger Gadelha, and I'm curious to see how Joanna handles that
 
RDA's strength and wrestling is miles above Robbie. Did you see what he did to Nate Diaz? I'm aware the fight was at 155, and Nate isn't known to be the greatest wrestler, but damn, was that a beating. I'd bet RDA via decision or maybe sub.
 
Werdum v Jones, Jones v Rockhold, Lawler v RDA would would be my picks. Any of those fights on the list would be nuts.

For entertainment value RDS vs Lawler

Lawler would shit on RDA. Jones vs Werdum would be more competitive.

Clay Guida broke RDA's jaw. I assume Lawler would put RDA in a coma.
 
Jones vs Werdum for sure.

If DC beats Bones, I would love to see Werdum vs Cormier too.

Cruz vs Mighty Mouse 2 needs to happen for both champs.
 
MM challenging Dom again for a rematch might actually make him more appreciated, win him some fans and considering it would be a superfight, would actually be a big-money-fight for him as well.

Personally i wanna see him challenge Meisha.
 
It's close for me. Werdum Jones is what I voted for, but Johnson Cruz is right behind it if you ask me.
 
I want to see Mighty Mouse vs Cruz again, because I don't think Cruz can beat him now.
