Just so you know ,I don't even like the guy (conor) but I come on here and I try and calls em as I sees em. Conors lefts and hooks are lethal at 145- 155. It was crazy watching him touch Alvarez in title fight with 50% power shots before stoppage. Eddie was flapping and falling all over the place.I also think 155 UFC division is crazy right now and wouldn't " be shocked" by any outcome. It's just one man's opinion but Conor has been somewhat exposed when someone gets their digits around his neck..... not a good look for gregor.We'll see what happens- he's got 5 more fights on contract and next dust up must end with his arm getting raised otherwise he's got problems but the way he carries himself, he'll just say he's a millionaire 130 times over so he'll probably smirk instead of the " we either win or learn" adage that he used to say.
Oh yah, I can appreciate that. It is very valid and very likely outcome.
To me, Conor looked not the same versus Khabib, and that he looked sharper and better Eddie, Nate and Aldo. Maybe he needs to get motivated again. I can easily see him Eddie'ing Lee but if he went down in one minute vs Khabib, the more explosive Lee could be bad news. Obviously, Lee does not have the finesse and ground control of Lee, but Lee mauled Barboza arguably worse than Khabib.....and, he put it on Tony, who is a good wrestler.
Id love to see Conor versus anyone at 155 tho, from Duffy, to Lando to the top guys, but I will be surprised if he fights another five. He may, but that is a lot for someone that is financially set and quit the sport before he received the call from the UFC. I just hope if he comes back, he has that same fire in his eye that he had when he fought Aldo. Kavanagh's interviews shed a lot of light why he was sluggish: he retired before the May fight, he didn't do MMA or wrestling for like one and a half year, he was juggling his whiskey business, a new kid, traveling, partying, etc. Hopefully he 'learns' since he did not win.
