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

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.

I’d probably even put chuck ahead of aldo. No hate for aldo but there wasnt a whole lot of stiff competition for him. There were solid fighters, yeah, but much more in other divisions


I’d like to know who you have in front of aldo in your list, more importantly-who you got behind him

Your entitled to your opinion, but I think something that gets lost in all of this is that Aldo was THE GUY.

Fighters get a ton of credit for beating established legends, Jon Jones for example.

But Aldo never had those legends to overcome, he was just simply the best and defeated many would be legends if not for him. Aldo had some very very stiff competition, but because of the circumstances regarding the new FW division people don't see it that way.

So did Aldo really not fight much stiff competition?

He stopped Cub who had won 13 of his last 14 fights, a cub who would go on to have wins over Poirier, Do bronx, Siver, and Jeremy Stephens among others.

He stopped Mike brown who was on a 10 fight win streak which included wins over Faber(2x), Garcia, and Yves Edwards.

He brutalized prime Faber who had won 15 of his last 17 fights.

A great win over Prime Edgar who was trying to make history, wins over Chan sung jung, Hominick, Florian, Mendez(2x), Lamas.

Chuck should not even be in the same conversation as Aldo, with all due respect.

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

Because, for a window of a few months Conor was the best in the world in his class. For a decade Aldo was the best in his class, but not for that small window where conor was. He remained undefeated at FW by leaving FW while undefeated there. If he had remained undefeated there as the champ for a few years, he'd have a carreer like Aldo, but he had different priorities.

Then he went 50/50 at WW. Which is good, but it's a different kind of career. Beating Nate at WW doesn't make you the best in your division in the sport.

Then he won a belt at LW and he was the best LW in the world for a while. Then he walked away from MMA.

I don't see how a few months as the best is better than a few years as the best if that's how you want to measure a better career. If your career is how you make money then Conor had a much better career.

It wasnt a lucky shot. Aldo is mainly a striker and he could never beat prime Conor in the stand up department. A rematch would have taken a bit more time, but ended with the same result (Conor by KO/TKO).

Conor's size, reach, movement, accuracy and power at FW was amazing. Best FW striker ever in his peak and probably the best FW in general as well (highest peak, not greatest in terms of resume/title defenses).

lol Conor isn't even top 5 all time at FW.

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.

if you think beating no name journeymen like Moicano or Hominick is better than actual quality vets like Cerrone, I don't know what to say
 
Aldo by a good amount. Max is the second best FW. Conor is like around Volk tier if anything.

Conor is a better fighter than Aldo but that doesn't make him a greater FW. Greatness is measured in accomplishments.

I don’t even think he’s a better fighter, Conor is just a bad matchup for Aldo.

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?

He didn't move up 2 weight classes. He knew all along that his fight was gonna be at 155 vs RDA so Conor is already prepared and at weight for that. And it's apparent that he was a big 145 and should be fighting at 155 really. And it was clear that Nate was a 155er all throughout his career, not a WW. Nate was willing to cut to 160 as he was never prepared and was getting high on a boat when the UFC called. Cowboy was fresh from a win and training camp and was more than willing to replace RDA but Conor chose Nate coz let's be honest, he underestimated him and thought he'd run him over than Cowboy who has a hot streak. Let's be real, Conor actually thought stylewise it will favor him that's why he didn't give a f**k what weight it is. Don't try to make it seem that Conor overcame a huge obstacle in that fight. Conor pick all the cards that favor him, and he still f**ked that one up big time.

Imo Jose, Max, and maybe Volk absolutely won't do that given that time, they're not dumb enough to jeopardize their legacy the fact that they're so many contenders lined up and they focused more on clearing the division first before making a move up aka doing it the right way.

A 2 weight champion? and beat all the guys Aldo beat. Conor beat max while Aldo lost twice.

Conor beat Aldo in 13 seconds bro

We're talking about better career, not who's the better fighter. How many times Conor defended his belts?
 
Gearc10 said:
I would say Knocking Jose out in 13 seconds, staying undefeated in the UFC FW division and beatung max would make Conor a better FW alone.

How many title defenses? Oh, zero?

Oh.

He won a 13 second fight. That doesn't prove shit. Which is more impressive, a decade undefeated fighting the best, or a 13 second KO? If you really answer a 13 second KO, you're lying to yourself and everyone else.

Yeah Conor won 2 belts in different weight classes and beat Aldo, Mendes, Holloway, Poirier, Alvarez, Cerrone. Almost all finishes.
