Mendes an inflated BW, Khabib a LW/WW - well yes I'd assume he would be able to beat Mendes.
Conor has been fed midgets and strikers in his entire career.
Khabib is the favorite for a reason. GSP picked Khabib against Conor, the same guy that picked Conor over Diaz 2 and Alvarez. Not because he's emotionally invested, but because, being the GOAT, he understands how easy it is to nullify a single weapon (left hand) if you can actually wrestle.
Mendes? Last time I checked, he was unconscious. He punched like a flyweight and hit the deck like a bitch. What has he done since? Back to Fight Night prelims lol.
Sherdog - Weight cutting is terrible, fighters are putting their health at risk!It isn't at all. Stubborn fighters are poor at cutting weight. Once their mind is made up it's over. Bobby Southworth is the perfect example. If it was rubbish he wouldn't have missed weight multiple times. Other fighters get it done and put the trust in their teams e.g Conor vs. Mendes - despite the knee injury he still make the cut.
For the simple minded you can have that reaction.
Conor has faced tougher match ups than Khabib. Lee, Gaethje, Ferguson, etc. Are all incredibly tough match ups for him and he's avoided them all. Kevin Lee imo is a better version of Khabib who actually has legit stand up skills and can move his feet and wont be as easily taken down which means he will tee off on Khabib on the feet. Tony is comfortable off his back so he wont mind if it goes to the ground. Gaethjje will turn it into a brutal war.
I completely agree on this. Wouldnt say im simple minded though
Maybe you don't understand how this sport works, but a power striker, with weak wrestling, like Conor, fares extremely well against other strikers and little people. IE: Everyone he's fought against except Nate (regular sized person) and Mendes (wrestler)... unsurprisingly, the two toughest matchups of his career.
Holloway, Poirer and Alvarez are midgets now? Aldo was also supposed to be a tough match up for Conor becuz muh leg kicks. Alvarez's wrestling was also supposed to cause problems. Once again you probably forgot because you have selective amnesia since you're high off sniffing Khabib's ball sweat all day long.
Khabib ducking the entire division? stfu.
I wouldn't say you are either. Just don't assume every poster falls under the typical sherdog methodology.
Yes hes ducking the entire 170 division and has for a while.

You've signed up less than 2 weeks before me and you're acting like you're a veteran here, lol. It's obvious you're a troll at this point. If Conor wins you'll probably make another account sucking off Conor because you only care about attention.
