Conor's resume is looking less and less impressive as time goes on

Less is more. If he quit MMA at his peak, disappeared for few years, he would have Bruce Lee status. Sometimes its not good to stay in the game far too long.


Conor actually knew this and wanted to get in, get rich and get our but now he lives for the drama and status it seems but his heart does not seem to be in fighting though. Its weird how mature and levelheaded as well as astute he was in his younger days while as an older dude, he is irrational and insane with how he behaves.
 
The Aldo fight was probably peak Conor. Those days are gone. He's operating solely on his mouth and prestige now.

Marcus Brimage was really a 135 and ended up going 7-8 in his career. No disrespect, he just was a gimme fight for Conor. Brimage only won 1 more fight his entire career.

Max Holloway was 21 years old and a UFC journeymen at the time. Looks good on paper, but it wasnt that great of a victory.

Diego Brandao was a good finisher, definitely a higher level win compared to the first 2, but ultimately is a journeyman who went 28-21.

Dustin was a solid win, but we all know what happened when Dustin moved up.

He fought a past prime Siver, who was a step down in competition. Siver went on to fight 2 more times and fought Kawajiri and beat an ancient BJ Penn.

Conor had an entire training camp for Aldo who got injured. Chad steps in on 2 weeks notice and nearly beats Conor.

Flash KO'ing Aldo was his greatest victory. He ducked the rematch, but this was a top tier win.

Gets completely embarrassed by Nate Diaz. Looking back at this, this is humiliating as Diaz was barely a top 10 fighter. A double champ lost to a mediocre fighter in Diaz.

The rematch was just as embarrassing. He literally ran the entire fight and eked out a decision after playing it safe.

His performance over Eddie was really good, but Eddie is the least relevant LW champ in UFC history. Another stylistic match-up that worked in his favor.

Gets Smashed by Khabib.

Gets another gimme easy fight against grandpa Cerrone.

Gets smashed by Dustin twice and breaks his leg.

His wins over Aldo and Eddie are quality wins without a doubt, but the rest of his career was getting beat by better guys or beating cans and journeyman.

Trying to denigrate Eddie Alvarezs career is an injustice. You should be ashamed.

You can discount it all you want, but beating Max, Dustin, Jose, and Eddie are all extremely impressive wins.
Do us all a favor and the next time you want to throw a bitch fit, just write a Dear Diary entry instead.

So? Kurt Angle could moonsault, but he didn't need to do that. Both Kurt and Ben are Olympic champion level. Clear as could be imo.

Actually not really.
They offered him that rematch at 155 with no chance at winning his title back, and to top it off it was on short notice...just sayin sir.

Aldo said he'd take the rematch anywhere, any time, belt or no belt.

He then got the exact scenario he said he'd agree to and instead said no. That's 100% ducking.

BTW you do realize the 2nd Holloway fight was short notice too right? It's almost like he was more worried about fighting Conor on short notice than he was fighting Holloway.

You can only beat the guys you fight at the time.

He has wins over Mendes, Max and Aldo at FW and beat Alvarez who has won titles in every MMA org he fought in.

Max win aged amazingly because nobody else at FW can pull it off these days besides Volk, he also did it on one leg whilst wrestling.

It's a better resume than plenty of guys that have held belts in other weightclasses.
 
His wins are fine, it was just an incredibly short prime that went away as soon as he couldn't piss guys off enough to throw out any kind of game plan. It was a really good year and a half, 1 more good performance against Eddie and that was that.

He beat the shit out of Max standing first. He only started wrestling once he tore his ACL.
 
Conor has 5 ranked victories on his resume, that all happened within a 2 year window, and that's the end of his resume. He burned brightly much like Brock and Ronda did.

Exactly this. You can make anyone look like a can. Take Matt Hughes wins for example. "He was unconscious in the newton fight. Should have been a NC. Beat a green GSP. Was getting dominated in the second BJ fight until BJ suffered a rib injury. Badly lost the trilogy. Idk I'm trying him as an example. lol. Smashed by koscheck and Alves. (Obviously Hughes is an all time great in just playing devils advocate.)
 
He was the first to hold two titles simultaneously. As we've seen, that can be incredibly difficult (Izzy and Volk?).

It's shallow and inaccurate to underestimate McGregors historic accomplishments.

He cashed in for the Mayweather fight. I don't blame him.
 
He's one of the best FWs ever, to me that's undeniable. He reminds me of BJ Penn in a way where he kept chasing bigger fights and ended up with a patchy record when he could've taken a conventional career route. Except Conor made so much money he stopped fighting as often.
