Who has a better resume and career? Conor or Jose?

Well it depends what you mean by "better". W/L ratio. Title reign, income, strength of schedule?

If the goal of your career is in any way tied to fame, records, or money the answer is Conor.

If it's to establish yourself as the best in your sport in your class it Aldo.

Pretty much anything else is BS or subjective.

So please explain why Conor starched the best in his class in 13 seconds, destroyed max and stayed undefeated at FW.

Then won a WW

Then won the LW belt

Erm......ok
 
Conor is absolutely not the greatest FW ever, he has two(?) top five wins.

The only argument you could make is that Conor is the best FW ever based on skills alone, but even that is a stretch. The dude KO'd Aldo in 13 seconds, then got finished by Diaz. Conor likely loses to whoever he fights next because he was out of his mind post Aldo.

He should've rematched Aldo, that would've done a lot for his career if he was able to win. Aldo's title defenses and dominance alone put him in another category from Mcgregor, and one 13 second victory doesn't change that.

Diaz was a WW. He jumped 2 weights and won the rematch too. Amazing

At FW - Jose, Mendez, Max, Poirier - Fuck!
 
Aldo is a mma legend.
Conor is an Instagram influencer.

Diaz was a LW, who had only dabbled unsuccessfully at WW. Because Diaz was completely unprepared for the bout, they had to make it at WW.

Jumping weight classes is great, but when you fight no legitimate WW's in the process, it loses it's luster. Conor wasn't fighting Lawler, Usman, Woodley, Covington, etc. He fought career LW's who were down to fight at WW without the weight cut.

Mendez and Jose were great wins, although Mendez did have to take the fight on short notice. Max and Poirier were good wins too, but both were obviously not the great fighters they would become years later.
 
You have to say Aldo, by title defenses alone. If conor would have stayed active it probably would have been a different story. While i have always said that conor is overrated, his resume is quite impressive.
 
Reading all this rubbish that Jose is one of the greatest fighters of all time but Conor isn't.

PROVE IT!

Conor is the greatest featherweight of all time, and when comparing his career as a whole to Aldo...there's no comparison.

<BidenShutIt>
 
It's Jose Aldo and it's not even close. Jose Aldo is one of the greatest fighters of all time.

He was 25-0 at FW, ten years undefeated, ten straight title wins before he lost to Conor and he even regained the belt.

McGregor has one title win, 3 top ten wins at FW. 19-2 at FW. Great fighter, great run. maybe he could have passed Aldo but you can't dip out of the division after one title fight and be GOAT.

If you want to talk about ability then that is a conversation we could have because McGregor did beat him head to head and was a great fighter. I still think Aldo is better though.

If you want to talk about overall career and include Conor's LW accomplishments, we could talk about that too because double champ is a big deal. I still think Aldo is better though because he's only 1-1 in UFC LW and 2-1 at WW against Diaz and Cerrone and thats honestly not that impressive.

But if we're talking about FW only Jose Aldo is way ahead. to pass Aldo, McGregor would have to pratcially STILL be the defending FW champion. Maybe not that much if he was taking out guys like Volk and Holloway, but close to it.
 
Conor was unstoppable at 145lbs, even some of his old opponents went on to have great careers themselves, he was ahead of the game at that time
 
If you are judging them off career accomplishments it is Aldo by a mile.

If you judge them based off of popularity and stardom obviously Conor has been more succesful
 
aldos biggest wins: cub swanson, mike brown,
faber, florian, chad mendes, edgar, zombie,
mendes again, lamas, edgar

conor biggest wins: holloway, poirier, mendes,
aldo, diaz, alvarez, cerrone.

I would say they are kinda even but id go Aldo becasue of long champion reign and title defenses.

It’s a bit of a stretch to say losing to Diaz discounts his wins at 145lbs, he went up two weight classes for a short notice fight in a relatively bad stylistic matchup... I don’t think Jose, Max, or Volkanovski would have done better. You seem pretty deluded with pseudoscience saying Conor was “out of his mind” wtf does that even mean?

Probably Aldo but Conor was a beast at FW. Neither one is a slouch.
 
Jose Aldo for one simple reason: he never chose his opponents. No matter what Conor nut-huggers might say, his career is defined by the UFC very carefully matching him up to move him up the ranks and make him more marketable. Yes, you can argue numbers, W/L ratio, finishes, title defenses, etc. But, you can not argue that Jose fought the best guy every time, and Conor didn't.

Want proof? Dennis Siver. [mic drop]
 
Conor has better wins than Aldo

let's compare
Aldo:
Jeremy Stephens
Frankie Edgar x2
Chad Mendes x2
Chan Sung Jung
Urijah Faber
Mike Brown
Cub Swanson

Conor:
Donald Cerrone
Eddie Alvarez
Nate Diaz
José Aldo
Chad Mendes
Dustin Poirier
Max Holloway

Conor also beat people Aldo lost to aka Max Holloway, Conor also beat Aldo himself

This list isn't contextualized and is kind of misleading towards McGregor.

Conor beat the same Max Holloway who drew with Garcia and lost to Dennis Bermudez. You didn't even list Mark Hominick for Aldo but beating Hominick when Aldo did is more impressive than beating 21 year old Max. And you're giving points for the Holloway because he beat Aldo and lost to Mcgregor like he didn't vastly improve from being a 7-3, 21 year old to going on a ten fight win streak 4 years later.

Beating Renato Moicano is also much better wins than a completely shot Cowboy who has lost like 5 in a row, and was coming off two brutal TKO/KOs at the time. but you didn't even put Moicano's name lol.
