I always figured Conor for Mike Brown 2.0. A guy with the right skills in the right place at the right time to rise to the top but without the depth to stay there in a division mid-changing of the guard, and if he had stayed at 145 would have...
Conor absolutely did not earn his first title shot against Aldo. Cub Swanson was inarguably the real number one contender.
Cub's win streak:
George Roop (TKO)
Ross Pearson (TKO)
Charles Oliveira (TKO)
Dustin Poirier (Decision)
Denis Siver (KO)
Jeremy Stephens (Decision)
Conor's win streak...
adesanya was in control the whole fight. rob got in a few jabs, and a few takedown attempts that did little but temporarily stall isreal's momentum. whittaker did enough to steal the fifth, definitively lost the first, and had competitive but ineffective middle rounds.
jones is a proven cheater, a proven abuser, and a proven liar.
fuck him. don't give a flying fuck what he does.
overrated piece of shit gonna overrated piece of shit.
move on.
He shouldn't have been rushed into the rematch but for UFC politics. Its obvious his chin was compromised Francis 1 to DC 1 and DC 3 to Francis 2.
Would still be champ otherwise. Anyone else pissed about this obvious bullshit?
Funny, the first fight I thought of was Aldo vs Florian. KFLO thought he could just use his size to outgrapple the FW GOAT to a victory but ended up getting absolutely smothered the whole fight instead.
On paper everyone in the division is mismatched against Volk. Zombie is literally the highest ranked, most successful fighter that makes sense. The only fighters above him just got beat by volk, already been beat by volk twice and pulled out of the fight, and got the brakes beaten off him by...
And proved his was a grossly inferior fighter in the process, which is the most important part.
And honestly, he should have been suspended for the absolutely disgusting amount of stalling he did in the fifth round. Just an embarrassing display of pretending to rile up the crowd by a fighter...
Its always a shock to me how poorly educated some of you are. Intent has nothing to do with whether something is a fluke or not, its a matter of probability. You could play that fight back twenty times and yair wouldn't land that elbow in 19 of them, let alone land it well enough to get a ko...
Prime Aldo is one of the greatest fighters of all time, full stop. Even shopworn he continues to improve technically and be competitive with the best BWs in the world.
funny, i've always thought of conor as mike brown 2.0.
a guy with the right skill set in the right place at the right time to take out a dominant champ but not the actual depth of skill or talent to stay at the top for very long, and if he had stayed at 145 and defended Conor almost certainly...
