Who's the best striker at 155

[Bluntforce420]

I know you guys don't like Conor because of the way he sells his fights talks shit and his behavior outside the cage, but lets get real in his entire career since entering the UFC hes shown the following weakness's, gas tank whilst fighting at heavier weights, and takedown defence against elite wrestlers.

Its hard to judge his sub defence when hes gassed.

so other than Nate gassing him out and subbing him, Khabib taking him down and keeping him there until he gassed out and subbing him, hes taken everyone else's head off.

Just ignore tha part where Diaz rocked him and made him panic wrestle

Cardio is a part of striking too, cant be the best striker if you can only do it for 7 minutes

 

[3timesacharm]

surely you have to go with Connor right?

 

[Daelh]

Conor might be the best striker in 155, he probably is. But the fact that he only have one win in 155 and haven't faced any 155er on the roster makes it only hypothetical. The other contenders at least are showing in 155 that they are good strikers.

I would say Fiziev, Dober or Poirier. Gaethje was out struck by Khabib so he's off the list.

On the flipside most of Conor's opponents can't even make it past 7 minutes in a stand up fight.

 

[Chael_Sonnen]

Fiziev offensively, his defensive outside of his matrix ducks is lacking though. All around would probably be Poirier.

He doesn't seem to be able to defend straight punches. His kicking defense is awesome, and he is pretty good against hooks, but someone like Oliveira would chew him up with jabs and straights all day.

If he fixes that he will be a real problem.

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.

Don’t know if you know what a 50-50 record is...

Conors striking and boxing is far better than Dustins. Conor has the best striking at 155 and no one comes close.

Thats why he has only one 1 win at LW in the last 4 years?

Knocking somebody down whilst your opponent has been grinding you against the fence for 3 rounds and gassing you out is a diff matter, thats wrestling and dirty boxing, not actual striking.

Hes only had 3 fights at 155, Eddie, Khabib, Cowboy.

Eddie and Cowboy he beat at 155 and he got subbed by Khabib like everyone else.

Feel like Sam's striking was lacking ko power with a nickname of hands of stone

Conor got rocked in round 2 of the first fight and then panic wrestled

That fight was all striking, until Conor realized he was gonna lose the striking only fight and decided to panic wrestle. Had nothing to do with wrestling or grinding against the cage

Conor just wasnt efficient with his energy. In the rematch he was and knocked Full Camp Diaz down at will.

Khabib still has the belt.
I still have hope.
Khabib is better at everything than everybody in UFC.

 

[KH4818]

Hes only had 2 fights at 155, Eddie, Khabib.

Fixed that for you.

Cowboy @ 170 and please don't quote what uncle Dana said, we are talking the weight the fight was sanctioned to take place at.
