he's doing it in an era of USADA.
Fedor
GSP
Conor
No one in the history of the UFC, other than Sakuraba in PRIDE, had balls to go up a weight class to fight a dominant champion, aside from BJ Penn, but even then, BJ Penn wasn't on paper such outmatched opponent against GSP, though he got his shit pushed in in that fight. Not to mention, he beat an all time great in Aldo, and he's doing it in an era of USADA.
He came off from a two year lay off, against the dominant undefeated champion in a weight class above, that was the worst match up on paper for him.
I mean, I am not really even a fan of Conor. But I have been into MMA long enough to see a greatness when I see one. People might criticize Conor, and I think it's fair that Conor definitely stepped over the line in his shit talking against Khabib, but if you ask me, it's Khabib who comes off more like a thug to me by far and it got nothing to do with his religion.
I thought Conor shouldn't take the fight. He did. He lost. Not sure where his career is headed, and I don't like his antics or anything, but he's a true fighter, and a true friend who flies across the world to back up his friend in need, which I think is pretty cool, I mean, how many milionaires do you know who would do that?
Conor was a light weight first. He only had one fw fight before he came to the ufcNah he was a heavyweight first
I know its in vouge to hate rousey, but she was a great champion with exciting fights. Always fought to finish her opponents, never pulled out, and defended the title about as many times as aldo in almost half the time frame.Nah, but Conor is right up there with Rousey in my opinion.
Even though joanna is my favourite ever cruz should be just above her.1 GSP
