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.
