He's top 3 fw ever. And a champ at 155. He is a great striker. Just made so much money so fast I think he got comfortable. I can't really blame him either. Still think he beats 95% of the guys at 155 besides khabib and who knows. He should be never went up in weight. But there were no fights left for him kindle like max now.
He's not great, Aldo was already washed when he fought him plus he was too small, he cut weight to have size advantage at 145 he never defended the title once he is not top 3 anything
He is a hype job, he only has the left hand he's not a great striker, if he was great striker he would have more tools other than one, he hasn't fought any good strikers in MMA so him being a great striker is all hype
Nate Diaz has like zero knock outs, and 11 losses lmao, he's not an elite fighter just hype like mcgregor, alvarez got KO'd in Bellator he should've never been champion with furgeson and khabib in the division, but Dana set up for him to get the built so Mcgregor could fight him for it, Mcgregor will be lucky to beat Cerrone, he will probably be submitted or KO'd, and that will be the end of his career
GOAT
The bubble was fraudulent
Khabib stood up with him for the entire third round and was never in jeopardy. Dude's power isn't a threat against lightweights.
He hurt and dropped Diaz and Alvarez at welterweight and lightweight, he can still crack when his gas tank is full, also the Aldo ko has distorted things a bit like Pacquiao with Hatton where people think one punch = instant KO
I'd put Ferguson in the bracket too, Cowboy is an iffy one to me but people are wild if they think he can't beat dudes like Gaethje, Lee, Barboza and Iaquinta
GOAT
The bubble was fraudulent
He was getting first round KOs at featherweight. It took multiple flush shots and ground and pound to TKO Alvarez. Couldn't finish Diaz or even hurt Khabib.
The only thing is Tony does like to stand there and bang and if that left hits him I don't he can recover cause Tony does take a lot of shots. It would be a great right though. Like that ferguson-pettis one. I really want to see ferguson vs khabib though. Let donor beat Cerrone, max, al or nate then fight khabib again. I don't want an immediate rematch thougb
I still think he could beat almost everyone at 155 (besides khabib barring an amzing punch) if he is training optimally and not drinking partying Idk though. If the khabib beat down doesn't make him get back into tip.top shape then nothing will. Still a big time ppv draw though. Put him and bones on the same card during internationally fight week.
Bahaha gtfoh. Aldo washed at 31, yeah ok. They all cut weight. Your blind hate is showing. Him max and aldo are the top 3. defend the title against dudes you already smashed? shyt max is already getting tired of it. Hes lost to khabib and nate Diaz. Nothing to be ashamed of. And he's definitely a top 5 LW right now. What is al or Kevin Lee better than him, fukk no. Tony takes to many shots and his wrestling his overrated.
Edit- he might be done though if he doesn't take his training seriously though and just parties it up which is something i could see him doing as well. We will see vs Donald what happens. Whether it's time to just go to businesses he's set up or keep fighting a couple more years.
Aldo was damaged goods, it showed in the fight with Mendes, and aldo hasn't been explosive since, dumb ass its called wear and tear, aldo's body began breaking apart
He never defending the title and he was weight bully the guy is overrated he can't beat Al, he can't beat Lee, he can't beat Ferguson. he can't beat Khabib, Cerone is the only winnable fight for him and he will more than likely lose the guy is overrated, you brought into the hype
he only beat aldo and mendes because of the huge size advantage, he only beat Halloway because he was injured and green he would lose that fight now
greatness is about consistency you fukking moron, if thats the case Hendricks is one of the greats, you flash in the pan morons get on my nerves, Mcgregor ha zero title defensive, he hasn't won a fight in years, thats not greatness when you got guys like Silva, DJ, who go on winning streaks for a decade, you can't be serious
get conor dikk out your mouth, its over for the guy the hype job is finished

Featherweight he's a menace. He cuts weight better than everyone. At lightweight he's back to the pack.
Great straight left (as every semi sized southpaws should be) and great, unorthodox, left uppercut. His ring awareness is good, good corner, good temperament whilst fighting. Excellent at psyching out opponent in lead up (obviously.)
Terrible V02 Max. Whether through lack of track work, (staggering he never runs) or genetics, it's a huge flaw in his game.

Oh then bones is only good because he is a reach bully. Gtfoh. Conor is still a top 3 fw of all time. Whether you like it or not. Al Lee and ferguson c'mon now. Ferguson could beat conor but conor could also whoop his ass to if Tony stand in front of him which Tony always does. fukk title defenses. Dude held two titles. The first to do it. Made more money than anyone else in the UFC. Did i ever say he was better than silva(my all time favorite fighter) or dj or the best ufc fighter ever No, but if you can name 3 fw Better than him then come on. Flash in the pan but won 20 fights ok. Good day sir.
Also khabib has beat RDA, barbosa, and al. Wtf he needs to fight some more ppl before we crown him as well. Or move up and fight some ppl at 170.
