I don't get all this Gaethje/Poirer/Chandler/Conor/Modern LWs hype, I honestly don't see anything so amazing that we haven't seen from previous LWs before, they are not above and beyond them at all.....
Seems like they are overhyped to shit to make Conor/Khabib look amazing....Props to the UFC propaganda machine.
But if you look at reality, 2008-2014 LWs most likely destroy these dudes....Prime BJ/Pettis/Bendo/Thomson/Giblert would've beaten them, their skill is way too much.
Take for example Prime BJ penn, Freddie roach said his boxing was amazing....he would've done great against poirer/conman/gaethje....Probably sub'd some of them too......BJ would've killed Dariush, just imagine prime bj vs that guy lol.
Prime Eddie, the eddie before the UFC, would've also smashed many UFC top 10s(would've killed Gaethje even worse).....Prime eddie was faster/stronger/better chin/ deadlier than UFC eddie, anybody with eyes could see this.
I mean nate diaz couldn't handle the top guys....but he could totally handle the top LWs today.
So yeah, these LWs todays aren't that special compared to the past.
