Sherdog Opinion article: Did Conor McGregor Just Become Adrien Broner?

[Big Boss]

Master Teacher said Lawler had no chance against Mcgregor. And that Mcgregor would run through the 170 lb divison easily with the only challenge being Wonder boy.

 

[patscorpio]

iirc demarco and molina jr were the two fights ppl thought he'd be challenged that he actually won in impressive fashion.

demarco was impressive..there was nothing impressive about that molina fight whatsoever

 

[blackestofpanthers]

How can you compare, boxing literally has about 10 world champions in each division add on to the fact that there are too many weight classes. Broner is a bum the fact that he can call himself a 4 weight world champion shows how backwards boxing is right now.

I don't think you know what the word literally means

 

[ucanthandlethetruth]

So in the grand scheme of things the person who wrote this article would have rather for Broner to have stayed at lightweight and not challenge himself by moving up. Something that we want all fighters to do in order to prove that they are great.

except if your GGG then

 

[calixprynce]

Diaz served that lil bytch a 2 piece special .

 

[Lord Beasley]

Act like Nate wasn't in the gym before the fight, foolish. He might not have been going all out but he was at least doing maintenance. Decent fighters don't just take sit around and wait for calls to start doing shyt

Daniel Ponce De Leon: record of 41-2, 2x Champion...KOd by Broner.

Breh ponce de leon got robbed. What you talkin bout?

Losses in mma dont equate to losses in boxing. Way mire variables, way more ways to lose. No eight counts, so if your dropped youre basically done cause there gonna swarm. You also have to be polished in so many aspects of fighting where as in boxing its just boxing.

And in the ufc especially, if you have potential, they dont build you up like in boxing. Your thrown into the fire usually after a couple wins. They fight the best with the best since most the best fighters in the world are under the same promotion, whereas in boxing you fight cab drivers till youre 30-0 and then people start to recognize.

Nate diaz with those 10 losses is way more accomplished in his respective sport than antonio demarco. Nates been fighting top ten lw even top ten ww fighters since he was 21.

Diaz and Mcgregor didn't even fight at welterweight, it was a catchweight of 168, Diaz isn't even ranked as a welterweight lmao, but they are acting as if he moved up in weight lmao

Ring woat. Fight wasnt at a catchweight it was at 170. Just cause both fighters came in 1 or 2 poinds below dont mean it wasnt a welterweight fight. An lawler would starch conor.

It means it was a catchweight lmao, if a fight is not set at the limit for the weight class it' a catchweight

And you wanna call somebody the WOAT but you saying Ponce De Leon got robbed just because he was ackward and made it look like an ackward fight Broner clearly won lol

fukk outta here, keep your worthless opinions to yourself

I didn't see any of your predictions prior to any matches anybody can talk shyt after the fact


UFC is just so full of shyt they didn't want to call it that

Their not welterweights, Diaz isn't even ranked as a welterweight lmao, and only had a few fights

Nate Diaz would beat Lawler too and so would his brother

he shouldn't even have the belt, he lost too conduit

Breh i knew you been trolling lol. You cant always be saying these off the wall statements without trolling.
But ill play along, fight was official at ww breh.

And nick might be able to beat lawler. I need to see him off the layoff. Best believe lawler has changed since their last fight more than a decade ago

I like lawler alot. All heart. But i would be rooting for nick cause he is one of my favorite fighters

Edit: just seen the rest of your post. Breh telling be to keep my opinions to myself but hes the ring woat



Called nate subbing conor. Called cruz beating tj. Said ronda would get worked if holly used her jab and distance. Said meisha posed a bigger threat cause her wrestling would pose problems for holly

An i know nate and conor arent ww. But you cant say it was a lw bout when they were 168 and 169

how I'm a trolling, style's make fights, I thought Conor would beat Diaz, he was winning the fight, but I didn't anticipate him being so easily hurt, he frail bodied, that's a fact that wasn't present at the time I said he would beat Lawler, he still has the skill and speed advantage, but his lack of durability is disturbing

the welterweight division is trash for the most part

Nate has improved since he lost to Rory in 2011, I think he can take him and lawler

Nick is just better than lawler

 

[Sk3ptical]

Conor McGregor was beating Nate Diaz face in then just ran out of energy mainly do to the lack of time to adjust to the extra weight he had to gain so no... plus it wasn't even a title fight.. STILL THE CHAMP

that denial

You must be legit retarded to have thought that McGregor stood a chance against Lawler.

Also 170 & 155 are the two best divisions.

Why wouldn't stand a chance, lawler is slow as fukk and he doesn't have better boxing than Nate Diaz.

lawler is basic as fukks, 170 is just as trash as middleweight except at least Rockhold is above average, there's nobody like that a 170

Nate Diaz can beat Robbie lawler lol, yall acting like this nikka Anderson Silva or something lol

 

[The Infamous]

170 is trash?

 

[DirtyD]

I think Conor is more accomplished in his respective sport than Broner, but this is pretty wrong Jack Slack, one of the more respected MMA analysts, even points it out when talking about McGregor Saying:

Some say Conor McGregor, Ireland's great featherweight hope, is a champion in the making—Jose Aldo's kryptonite. Others say that he's being fed easy wins. Wherever fans fall on the issue they tend to be vocal.

Of course, both sides are caricatures of the truth. McGregor hasn't met a single great wrestler in a sport built around them, and that is unlikely to be a coincidence this far into his UFC tenure. However, this is a combat sport and McGregor is a cash cow. If you cannot, as an adult with a healthy sense of cynicism, realize that matchmaking is as much about brand management as it is about putting on entertaining fights, you're not going to enjoy the fight game as much as you can once you realize that fact and get over it.
