Honestly, I see him having a similar career. He's gonna beast on guys he has physical advantages over, but once he cant cut as much weight and has to fight guys his own size, he'll struggle to dominate top 5 competition.
Is McGregor the Adrien Broner of MMA?
- Thread starter TM101
- Start date
no, broner has been a champion in multiple weight classes, connor has never been a champion in MMA
he's a chael sonnen, only difference is, he will win the belt, and is more entertaining with his antics than the stale chael
this era of MMA is coming to an end, I hope Connor can deliver so the sport can move forward and the change the crude manor in which fighters approach the game

God forgives, you are forgiven.
He's won't beat aldo and probably wouldn't beat mendes, so it doesn't even matter about him going up in weight and having to fight "guys his size".
McGregor was the Cage Warriors champion in Lightweight and Featherweight. Getting a belt in a smaller fight league than UFC is similar to winning a belt in boxing and not unifying. Neither fighter has beat HOF caliber opponents.
And im making a prediction, I said that McGregor's career will mirror Broner's later on. Broner has accomplished more at the moment.
Cage warriors are you serious?
Adrien Broner has held Major WORLD titles in boxing WBC adn WBA
He would need a belt from Bellator for it to count since strikeforce and dream no longer exists
Anybody can cherry pick opponents for belts when there are 4 major titles for each weight class in boxing. You see what happened the first time Broner tried to unify? Now I will admit that Broner has fought better competiton, but hes had longer time at the world championship level than McGregor.

Not when you're fighting for world titles
you're fighting the word champ and take is belt how is that cherry picking, do you know how stupid you sound
Broner jumped two weight classes aready lost, he was already a world champ before then
Mcgregor's never been a world champion at any thing
so wait until he wins the title
also lots of boxers grunt when hitting the heavy bag
Broner has never beaten nor became a lineal champion. In the UFC there arent 4 different champions per weight classes to choose from; either youre lineal chapion or you arent.
World Title is a World Title
Broner was the man at 135, its just a fact
WBC and WBA are the major titles in boxing recognized by the ENTIRE WORLD, the other belts may or may not be recognized depending on the country
in MMA, only UFC and Bellator are recognized as World Class
Big D Bangston
Superstar
Yes he is. Lets see how he is at the top level first. His hype is GGG levels right now but the guys GGG fought were stiffer than the guys C-Mc has fought so far.
He is Broner-esqe in the sense that he is getting tons of attention because of his entertaining style and big mouth.

How can you be the man without being lineal champion? Yes, Broner had major titles that were recognized worldwide, but without unifying them, he was just a paper champion.
McGregor doesnt have that same luxury. The only MMA championship title recognized worldwide is the UFC. To be champion in the UFC, you have to beat THE (singular, as in lineal) champion, only having one belt per weight class. In order to get that belt, hes gonna have to beat at least one tough style matchup such as Swanson, Mendez, or Aldo.
Broner could cherrypick one of the four champions with the easiest style matchup and become champion that way. Imagine if boxing was back to the one champion per weight class days. Does Broner become champion if he had to beat bad style matchups such as Abril or Vazquez (who were other paper belt holders at time Broner was lightweight champion) in order to become lineal champion?
You are confusing Lineal with Undisputed, unifying belt gives you the title of undisputed champion
The UFC would the WBC, Pride would be WBA, and Strike Force would be WBO, if they were all still around
meaning all three of those organizations champions were recognized as being the best in world
The fact that Strike Force and Pride folded doesn't matter
Broner was the lineal WBC 135 and WBA 147champion, because he beat the title holders and took the belt
When did Broner try and unify?
Broner also beat the best 135lber in the world, at the time, for his WBC Lightweight Championship....Antonio DeMarco
Don't speak on Broner when you don't know much about him obviously
Again....Antonio DeMarco was considered the best 135lber in the world and Adrien Broner beat him
Also, you realize by saying "how can you be the man without beating the lineal champion?" is basically saying that Miguel Cotto is the man to beat at Middleweight (being that he beat lineal champion Sergio Martinez) rather than GGG
