all nate's losses are to champs, or champ contenders. mma forum nerds trying to take something away from connor at 170 and its not working.

I still want to see Lawler v Connor but that is probably out the window. That style matchup would make an incredible war if Connor brought the gas.

Like fight of the year potential.

His ground game could use some serious work. He's a brown belt. Nate has been a black belt forever.

His standup is great unless he's gassing. His head movement and footwork was great against Nate, but you could tell even in that round he was getting tired. He started getting flat-footed, lost the bounce, ate some shots.

I also don't think he's as well rounded as everyone claims, and when he fights Edgar, we'll find out for sure. But the Mendes thing was... yeah. He did not look good there. Edgar is just going to be a stronger version of that.

2nd Aldo fight should be interesting, too. I was hoping that would be a better fight. That honestly had potential to be fight of the year given their styles, but Aldo got dunked real quick. I wouldn't necessarily call it a fluke like most would. Aldo was being dumb.

Why he needed to beat nate's ass n tie things up by calling lawler out.

UFC better protect that ass with canceled fights, injuries, and delays while conveniently rotating edgar out of schedule.

But with connor's big dollar contract, I'm thinking its a W for UFC if Connor takes 1 L.

Similar to how they treated Overeem and Rampage (wrestler after wrestler after knee surgery) after he signed his big contract. If they feel someone is overvalued they take care of it. Reem had his revenge last fight and went into the JDS matchup without renegotiating a new deal.

Ya he gassed and lost because of it but it seems crazy that no one can see that mcgregor drinks his own koolaid and believes his own hype. Anyone who goes into a fight thinking they can just leave their guard down within reach of another guy is fucking up. if he ever starts taking fighting seriously, trains hard keeping his endurance up, and remembers that he isn't invincible, I don't see anyone in either weight class beating him.

^ Guy I was with called him the "white Anderson silva" because of his amazing skillset You can see the similarities in Connor's style.

He has that Roy Jones guard-drop and head movement going just like Silva. he is definitely a very talented natural and that's why people love watching Connor fight.

I tend to agree he is the white Anderson.

I like Connor guy comes to fight and put on a show. I know there are better technical fighters but they are boring.... That's why Connor gets millions and those guys get 100's of thousands.

Most exiting fighters mma history.

Royce Gracie
Fedor Emalinko
Randy Colture
Chunky light me up lidell
Anderson silva
Connor Mcgregor

no robbie lawler? carlos condit? lyoto machida? frankie edgar? diego sanchez? nick diaz? Bas Rutten? Dada "THE GOAT" 5000? Kimbo "cardio" Slice?

Royce is boring. Rickson was the best gracie by far
The emporer has always been amazing
Never liked randy although he was a great commentator
The iceman is a legend
Connor is incredibly exciting

robbie deff #1 he puts his heart into every single fight and trys to knock a dudes head clean off. Also whenever anderson fought another counter puncher they were horrible fights. He has some great highlight knockouts but he plays around too much in the cage and if his opponent does not lead it becomes a snore fest

Royce beat Dan Severn probably one of the scariest human beings on the planet. There are a ton of guys. The tito ortiz era was boring, he was a beast but fights never exciting.
