Who's the best striker at 155

[Evangelion]

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?

Conor is better than all 3 of the bottom guys you listed. Riddell and Fiziev both got outstruck by Mustafaev(well Riddell arguably) Fiziev was kod.

In summation theres no clear best striker

If we include TD Threat, it's Khabib. Excluding it, it's Conor by far. He has the best overall striking skillset (a master in distance and timing compared to the rest of the division).

 

[Axe720]

Khabib or Conor. Need a rematch to know for sure.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

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.

Styles make fights. He clowned on elite guys on the feet multiple times and gets 0 credit because he hasn’t been active lately.

We'll know more about that on January 23.

Conor is 1-1 at lightweight. His standup is superb but we still can’t prove it holds up well at 155 pounds, though it’s most likely legit.

fiziev is looking insane right now.

 

[Argonaut]

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.

But where does Kevin Lee fit into this?

 

[Kono dio da!]

Kevin Lee is most dangerous after you choke or knock him out.

Conor fanboys are too impressed by a solid left hand and a telegraphed wheel kick to be able to comment reasonably.

To me, its not just Conor's power and left hand. His distance management and timing is second to practically none in the division. He is an excellent pressure counter puncher. There may be some in the division that hits as hard or harder than him, but they are not as accurate and are not better in timing. Conor knows exactly where and when to hit you. He also has great reach for the division. It also helps that he is a southpaw. He is also a bigger lightweight, as that is his actual weight class. He looked much bigger than Eddie Alvarez and it wouldnt surprise me if he looked bigger than Dustin next month.

Of course, Conor's striking goes a bit down the drain if it goes past the second round or if you successfully implement a grapple heavy gameplan, due to lactic acid build up and the fact that he is a power athlete, thus cardio will be an issue for him.

Yet the elite strike Khabib clowned him, not to mention the Baddest MF'er Nate Diaz clowned Conor, and we all know what a striking guru Nate is be. Get real kid, Conor ain't not elite striker.

Lol. Styles make fights, if you knew anything about fighting you’d onow that.

but yeah, Anderson Silva sucks at striking because Chael took him down right?

And GSP sucks at wrestling because he couldn’t out wrestle Hendricks eh?

What does Khabib mauling KKKonor on the ground got to do with Khabib's striking? Obviously you must be very very slow to think that. But alas you are a conor turd and you all is be very slow to like that POS. And you know damn well that I was talking about Khabib clowning KKKonor on the feet you big goof. Why do you think conr tapped out so quickly? It was because he didn't want any more part of that clowning on the feet that Khabib was putting on him.

Have another drink clown.

Khabib bear Conor on the feet because of the takedown threat - the same reason he outstruck everybody else. Styles make fights. If you followed fighting, you’d know that.

So you didn't watch the fight? Khabib clowned KKKonor on the feet in the fight. Or did your bf not let you use your glasses to watch the fight? Hell your bf probably didn't even let you watch the fight if we being honest.

 

[I am your real dad]

Conor probably.
