Who's the best striker at 155

[ThaiSexPills]

The mf'er is scared as fuck. Why do you think he wants to fight all these 155'ers at catchweight or WW? Conor knows he gets clowned by the 155 division and thats why he wants nothing to do with it except a title fight. Much easier to rationalize a loss at 155 when it is to the champ, which is why that is the only way he fights at 155. Conor is like Kflo in that he is a retard that is scared of the true competition. Why do you think kflo is a wet blanket?

hes so scared to fight at 155, he fights 155ers at 170? Yeah, that makes 0 sense

Yeh as we all know "threat of the takedown" has no effect, Khabib is just obviously a better striker... you fucking goof

Yeah and as we all know there is the threat of the takedown in every single MMA fight, dickhead.

Best or most effective?
Couldn't tell you who looks the best on pads or in a kickboxing match, but in MMA, it's Khabib.
Obviously it's because of his take downs, but he out-strikes everyone. To say otherwise would be to deny reality.

 

[Nobru]

You can’t be serious...

Name 5 guys in LW who could beat him then.

hes gonna walk through Dustin and shertards like you will say Dustin just sucks but the reality of it is, Conor is THE guy at 155 without Khabib

I would bet on Khabib, Oliveira, RDA, Tony X Conor at this point

Good post, I just mean in a pure stand up battle, soo maybe lethwei or muay thai rules Haha. But now that you mention it, theres so many ways to look at it, it could be pure boxing, kickboxing, muay thai etc and each of those are vastly different.. I guess what I meant to say who's the best stand up striker without the threat of a takedown? Cause I agree with your khabib point.

 

[Rear Naked Toke]

How is it Fiziev?

Ref had the best vantage point he was going to ge, then ran a full circle to get back to it.

 

[PunchKicker]

hes so scared to fight at 155, he fights 155ers at 170? Yeah, that makes 0 sense

The McNugget has fought Nate at WW and Cowboy at WW and hasn't had a win at LW in over 4 years. Yeah that totally makes sense why you 100% a retarded turd. Then the conman was on his hands and knees begging that red goof to let him get a crack at Diego Sanchez, as it "would be a cracker".

Conor by a mile. Anyone saying otherwise is either a blind hater or an annoying mma hipster trying to prove how knowledgeable they are by naming some obscure fighter.

How can you say that, when (if we were judging their two fights as straight kickboxing matches), he'd be 0-2 vs. Diaz. The first one is obvious. The second fight, if you recall, Diaz (while he was beaten in a MMA match), was in no way done in Round 5. Chances are strong that if that fight went on for a 6th round, he'd have finished Conor. That is the problem saying Conor is the answer, because he would never beat Nate in a 10 round fight. He can't KO him, and he's bound to gas in later rounds.

 

[Kono dio da!]

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.

Bro tbh, he is a great striker but there are better strikers.
Fiziev would break him.
Riddell would beat him.
Dan hooker is less skilled than the above but i think he outstrikes conor.
Zabit.
As much as i hate him, yair
Edson. No takedown threat. No tony cardio. He takes conor.
Giga could be another one.
Kattar as well
Conor outstrikes most top 15 guys. Most of them (except dan hooker), gaethe? Maybe i don't know. But some of the unranked guys. The guys i mentioned, will beat him up. Remember conor is neither jones, anderson, nor izzy he gets hit often. Chad mendes with his short arms tagged him repeatedly. It's just that conor has an excellent chin. His defence is good, but it's not impregnable. Factor in how none of his opponents were credentialled strikers or prolific mma strikers, save for aldo. Sure eddie is a great striker but he's not "that guy" striking wise. As a result we never saw him deal with high level feints, attacks to the body, legs advanced clinch, modern footwork, superior striker with better cardio. Plus times have moved bruh. You're telling me zabit isn't going to jam him with side kicks, leg kicks, stance switch and throw spinning shit and keep him at range? You're telling me yair isn't going to go straight for that rear leg body kick he hurt stephens with the first time? Your claim is false bruh. Just wanted to point these facts out. He could beat them, of course, but i personally think it's less likely.

0-2 lol Nate lost the rematch no matter what scoring criteria you use. If we are using boxing scoring Conor wins it by an even bigger margin as he had 3 knockdowns vs nates zero so he wins it 50-44.

Who knows what would have happened beyond the 5the good possibility Nate would have bled out but regardless the onus was on Nate to get a finish as he was behind on the scorecards but he failed.

This unlimited rounds talk is a nonsense, do you not think fighters would approach the fight differently in those circumstances? Connor fought strategically for a 5 round fight, had it been unlimited rounds conor fights differently and likely goes for the finish after one of his many knockdowns and would likely have gotten it.

 

[GOATshroom]

Oliveira fucks up Fiziev and Conor standing

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

Conor, Gaethje, Fiziev, Ottoman Azaitar, Jai Herbert

 

[NationWideNinja]

Obviously Conor. Anyone saying otherwise is either hating or delusional.

I have no issue with people believing its Conor, but saying its obviously Conor is pure nuthugging

We've seen him in a pure standup fight against another LW, who made Conor turn into a panic wrestler and basically made Conor give up because Conor knew he was losing the striking battle

Blame the cardio issue all you want, but it was the 2nd fuckin round. Not even 10 minutes into the fight

If we’re putting cardio in the equation of what makes a great striker, then yeah, but that doesnt make sense does it? Skill for skill Conor is obviously a much better striker than Nate.

Conor is an elite striker and probably pound for pound, the best in the UFC.

Start preparing your excuses for his masterful destruction of a arguably top 5 GOAT LW because you’ll see it happen.

I might be wrong, but Round 5 ended with Nate on top of McGregor on the ground. My point in saying unlimited rounds is to say that one guy has shown the ability to finish the other guy, and it isn't McGregor. Put it another way: Let's say you lock them into a random dojo a la Gracie Challenge with no refs (e.g. Rickson-Yoji Anjo), and Vegas installed a pick'em betting line. You telling me you would take McGregor?

Thats why he has only 1 win in the last 4 years? Elite striker who got the piss beat out of him by Nate fucking Diaz. Nate fucking Diaz turned Conor into a panic wrestling puss puss.

umm conor duh wtf honorble mention rda and after calling that knee and setting it up khabib
