Kevin Lee: "Barboza is best striker"

[RonnyB]

Are you kidding? Alvarez is the biggest joke in the fucking division... He is good at nothing and decent at everything.. He should of never gotten the chance at the belt to begin with, he for sure goes down as the worst LW champion ever... Hes a LW Chris Leben with having a few more brain cells so he can adjust a bit during fights... He is neither a great striker nor a great wrestler and that is perfect for a precision striker like Conor...

Maybe you should pick a new sport.

Alvarez is the GOAT at LW, all time resume. No one has more top 5 wins, or top 10.

He literally beat #3, #2 and #1 to get the belt, how the fuck didn't he deserve the shot?

Ferguson had to beat #7 to get his fake title

Khabib beat #11 to get his fake title.

Alvarez is great at everything, elite at nothing.

Have you been watching with open eyes? All Alvarez does is just brawl....You honestly think any respected and top tier fighter would be doing that? Every champion in every other division would beat him if they were a LW... this isnt anything new.... Conor could and did defend his takedowns because they were shit... He has no striking and his takedowns were from miles away. Hes slow and doesnt have crazy power.. what more do you want...

Its fucking common sense, i cant debate with you properly if you think Eddie is a good fighter, just logically doesnt make sense, stop looking at paper wins and look at actual fucking fights, hes winning Split decisions and shit, fighting zombies out there Justin Gaethje, stop it please.

No power but he has the most knock outs in the division

He's also the fastest guy in the division.

You're a legit retard

he would kill Conor... You honestly think Conor would ever get up after being taken down? he hardly has gas tank for 3 rounds as it is... Yall are fucking crazy if you think that 1) conor can defend even 1 takedown or 2) that conor would get up after being taken down, or 3) that conor would have any gas left if he somehow survived to the 2nd round by khabib or lee.

I’m done with Conor after his recent bullshit but did you not watch him get taken down, get up and knock out Mendes?

He also had enough gas to win the 5th round against a Diaz brother after ‘running’ for 3 rounds.

Try to be more rational with your hate.

Cardio Barbi

That is true, but Edson's takedown defense once in a grappling engagement is considerably better than Conor's. Better underhooks and pummeling and balance.

True but his cardio is failing him.

How’s that relevant to Barboza’s or Conor’s striking?

If Conor crushed Kevin Lee it wouldn't be one of his biggest achievements.

The Guy who got rocked by pillowfist Nate And had to run away to barely win a maj decision over him? Lmfao.

The guy who got finished by Jamie Varnerr

Barboza can't manage distance at all. That's how he gets taken down so easy.

You're confused son. Connie beat the shit out of nate striking wise. Nate just has an iron chin and endless cardio. That's how he won. not via superior striking. leave the hate and talk some sense.

 

[Area809]

LOL. You just say that to dimish Conor's performance against him. Alvarez is one of the best. Khabib is biggest joke in the fucking division. Beat ranked 15 guy for the belt and has only fought once against top 5 guy (Barboza). He has nothing else but his wrestling.

Speaking of once, that’s the amount of times Conor has fought in the UFC LW division. So while you’re discrediting Khabib for fighting one top 5 guy, you’re somehow trying to elevate another guy who doesn’t fight at all at this point.

When will people get this? If you want to compare Conor's striking to Nate's look at the first round on both fights where he rocked him multiple times and when he was humilating him on the feet. Nate won because he has insane cardio and a granite mexican chin. He didn't win because he's the superior striker.

Nate is one of the best boxers at either 155 or 170

please make non dumb posts

thanks

Because Conor has gone to do bigger and better things than fighting bums at LW like going into a completely different domain and fighting TBE in one of the biggest PPV fights of all time. Conor is always chasing the next big thing because he's an intelligent businessman trying to capitalize on his skill and limited time in the fight game. That's why he is the face of combat sports and is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and these other guys who are supposed to be his competition are not.

I feel Conor will fight Khabib because Khabib has built up a lot of hype, is undefeated, has a huge following and is looking incredibly dominant as of late. This is the perfect opponent that will make this fight worth Conor's time because once he takes away Khabib's 0 he will be immortalized and the haters will have no more excuses left. This is what drives Conor which is why I'm 100% sure this fight will happen.

 

[Human Bass]

Best kicker, but his hands are mediocre.

Mmmmm dude still only has 1 LW fight. Why he hasn’t fought is irrelevant. Point is that it’s hypocritical to bash anyone else’s track record in LW, when Conor only has 1 fight in that weight class.

Barboza's hands aren't that good, which shows when he's going backwards. Body kick or spin make his offense when backing up. But he's great from distance.
