Who's the best striker at 155

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

Quick Math's lol, he's lost damn near a 3rd of is Fights is that better.

The dude's record still isn't pretty, especially if he loses his next fight.

 

[legkicktko]

In pure stand up skill striking. Probably Fiziev or conor. Multiple methods of attack with good power and make every shot count.

Call me crazy, but I am not sold on Fiziev.

He is certainly a great striker. But I don't see evidence he will hang with top strikers. Moicano is a good, not a great striker who struggles with boxing and has no notable fights at LW. Fiziev was getting tagged before rallying. He finished by strikes against a no-name in his debut. Diakase is so so but a good win overall for where he is.

Would he win on the feet against Ferguson, Felder, Gaethje, Poirier, Conor, Hooker, RDA, Olivera?

I am not sold on that whatsoever. I would match him up with Dariush and based on current evidence, think Dariush should be the favorite, even on the feet.

I know, I know. Kickboxing credentials. But it doesn't always translate well into fighting top tier MMA-strikers.

I would just say that I wish we saw Brad Riddell vs Barboza

 

[BoTyson]

Conor was outstruck by a few opponents, if anything, I would say Conor definitely hits hard, and his reach is the factor. In terms of overall striking? right now there's a few who look dangerous, hell throw Chimaev in the mix if he gets past Holland.

Who outstruck him? i mean Khabib tagged him whilst he was gassed and hands low waiting for a takedown after being pinned down by his legs for 2 rounds, Nate gassed him and caught him in a exchange by pretty much blocking punches with his face then in the rematch Conor dropped him like 5 or 6 times, no one else has except for Floyd Mayweather.

All the rest he slapped all around the ring, i mean hes knocked out his opponent in 19 of his 22 victorys and most of those are at 145lbs where knockouts are not a regular thing, and thats not just fluke kos, he absolute smashed them, the only 2 opponents that he has beat in the UFC that didn't get knocked out was Nate Diaz and max Holloway, 2 guys that never get finished and he clearly outstruck both, dropping Nate over and over and he controleld Max the entire fight with ease to a unanimous decision.

His striking against Eddie Alvarez was as impressive as Anderson Silva vs Forrest Griffin.

You seeing that with your Sharingan? lol Where's @Snake Master when you need him lol.

CKB is overrated in my humble opinion, the only person holding it down for them nowadays is Adesanya.

Volkanovski technically isn't a part of CKB either as he has his own head coaches and set of coaches.

Kai Kara France is nowhere NEAR being a contender at Flyweight despite being given multiple opportunities to become one dating all the way back to his time on TUF for DJ.

Riddell is another prospect that although has talent, doesn't compare to Conor when it comes to his Striking, especially his counter striking. Just because Adesanya is killing it doesn't mean they all can. Look at Hooker too, he's one more loss away from a 50-50 record.

Although I agree with your assessment for the most part, I believe Riddel is the 2nd best striker in CKB, he is one of their head coaches for striking (hes taught izzy and dan) and Riddells Kickboxing record speaks for itself. Wins over JWP for example

 

[PunchKicker]

To scared to fight him at his best weight, but fucked him up in about 10 seconds at a weight class thats way to big for him, nice one haha, fucking mong.

WW isn't Cowboy's best weight, you fuckin kiddin? He is undersized at WW. Also why hasn't Conor won a fight at LW in the past 4 years if he is so good? LOL fucking retards.

 

[mma sharingan]

How is it Fiziev?

Ohh the guy Brad riddell beat/outstruck koed fiziev ay hahahahahaha adds to my argument for riddell as best pure striker at 155

 

[mma sharingan]

Fiziev vs Riddell to find out

But riddell beat the guy that koed fiziev hmmmm

 

[Ideanudge]

People mystify the shit out of Conor. Overlooking fighters performing unlike themselves under the big lights and drama Conor brings, Conor isn't that good. Conor gets hit a lot and relies on his chin and power left for the most part. Fiziev would stiffen Conor into oblivion.

 

['Suga Daddy']

20 Wins 10 Losses, sounds like losing half your fights to me, what because I didn't call him a .500 Fighter?

Get off it extra.

Hahaha nice maths genius, that’s losing 1/3 of your fights not half

 

[mikesparrow]

I'm curious on peoples thoughts here, I genuninely believe the best striker is either Fiziev or Brad Riddell personaly, they both very accomplished strikers, personally both are levels above their competition, who else gives them a run in terms of pure striking?

Dustins boxing is nice, Do Bronx muay thai is coming together, Justins bull in a china shop approach, who else am I missing? any other strikers to watch out for in 155?

Fiziev. I have said it many times before. He's the best striker in UFC.

 

[The Half Blood Prince]

Conor

Its not about who has the most tools its about who is the most effective and dangerous and that's Conor.

His shots are just so dangerous because he is so accurate and finds a way to land clean

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

Hahaha nice maths genius, that’s losing 1/3 of your fights not half

A third might as well be half if you're about to sport double digit losses while being at the beginning of 20 Wins. Not gonna continue going back and fourth because my initial point still stands, Adesanya is the only one really holding it down at KCB at the ELITE level. Hooker's been trading losses for a while dating back to his time at 145.

But you’re wrong lol, he’s gone 7-2 at LW the deepest division

At the deepest division having a life and death battle with Paul Felder, you know who else has a life and death battle with Felder and was in the Top 10? Edson Barboza, and now he's down in FW.

While Hooker has won more than he has at 145, once he stepped up to someone legit like Dustin he got knocked back down and was shown there's level's when it comes to experience.

You take Hooker out the 2nd round and he becomes a wrestler, he did that in both the Felder and Dustin fight.

He's may have finally broke into the Top 10 but it's clear he's not elite.

I said WW ain't Conors best weight you absolute honking, dribbling, spastic

 

[Conor_Is_Overrated]

Conor without the relentless threat of a take down or clinch from a dagastani wrestling machine out strikes everybody at 155 and 145, nobody else is in his league.

He was finished by Nate Diaz in what basically was a stand-up fight. Granted, that fight was at 170, but still... and then he won a majority decision in another stand-up fight against Nate.

Who gives a fuck about WW you knob? Thread is about 155 you beta jv cuck, try and keep up. Conor still hasn't won a fight at LW in over 4 years. Dude is a over rated hack and using his white privilege for the last times.
