You know who would beat Conor on the feet worse than poirier?

[Iron Skin]

He looks exactly like Calvin Kattar

 

[Landolorian]

Let's see Fiziev against elite competition first.
So far he has been KOed on the feet but also looked spectacular in other bouts.
We need to see more of him to make such a claim.

Isn't he fighting from an orthodox stance as well?
Because that would put Conor at an advantage that he didn't have against fellow southpaw Poirier.

My friend, he got caught, lucky punch. Regarding Conor, that wouldn't be a fight, it would a massacre. Do you want Mcgregor eating his food through a straw for the rest of his life, being fed and his nappy changed by his lovely wife Dee?
Rafael Fizev has the potential to be world champion. Elite kicks and standup and excellent grappling as well (he is master of sport in combat sambo).

 

[Landolorian]

Obviously not if his leg gave out because of Poirier

Are you saying Conor would have won that fight with a bit of luck and if his leg had become a football?

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

Masvidal, Leon Edwards, Wonderboy, Paul Daley, maybe even Jonny Hendricks.

 

[mudrubble]

Funny because Conor was beating Poirier on the feet before his leg gave out

He was cruising his way to an early victory yes. Then suddenly MMA caught up to delusion. Yup.

 

[Kid Quick]

Masvidal, Leon Edwards, Wonderboy, Paul Daley, maybe even Jonny Hendricks.

Prime Johny Hendrix could beat anyone.

It didn't "give out" Dustin kicked it out.

 

[A Very Serious Cat]

Id give barboza a good chance, although he could easily get caught too

 

[JosephTessaro]

Is that Fiziev? I hope I'm not turning into a casual.

Well, the name is right under the photo...

That might be the case (talking about Fiziev's skills) but Conor is an elite striker himself, so it's far from a Anderson Silva vs Chris Leben kind of match up.

Barboza folds when being pressured, which is what Conor is best at.
If Barboza makes it into the latter rounds, he *might* have a chance, but i frankly don't see it happening.

 

[Martialbeef]

Arman

 

[fortheo]

Fiziev

Fiziev should fight Arman. I want these guys to take a step up in competition already and both present challenges that could be problems for the other

 

[Ares Black]

Funny because Conor was beating Poirier on the feet before his leg gave out

Was he though?

 

[BobbyJindal]

It was not at first

[JonJonesNeedle]

i mean, maybe he could beat him, but we need to see much more outta him. Conor is still probably the top pure striker in the first round. Even the strikers who beat him (Nate, Floyd, Dustin) all lost the first round to him.

 

[JosephTessaro]

It was not at first

I did not know that.

 

[JosephTessaro]

It was not at first

Furthermore, it does not appear you are turning into a casual.

 

[Ruke Doufus]

Forget Conor's leg, what really lost him the fight was when his jaw went out. Could a guy be any more unlucky??
