Yes....but let's be fair about 2 things:
  1. he did fight up a couple weight classes against a guy who has the frame to legitimately make 170 (funny considering the post above).
  2. fighters learn more from losses- following this logic, he should be more dangerous than he was previously.

technically yes but no, that is is normal weight, he goes down so he can win

Vitor broke Jones' arm and Jones still went on to win that fight.....by submission.

To be fair, Jones could've lost that fight. Letting your arm get broken isn't really intelligently defending yourself and Big John wouldn't have been at all out of line for stopping it.

Got to keep talking lol. I dont agree at all but Conors whole appeal is his mouth, second is his fighting. If he loses again which imo he will against Frankie, slowly slowly he wont be able to talk the same and that will kill his whole gimmick.

technically, I think I agree with you.
Would Nate win at LW? I would think yes, but I would also think him having to make that cut would make affect the odds a bit. But unless that happens, their last fight gets the final word.

That's good to hear from McGregor that at-least he admit that he's not good for the categories which are higher from its range.

is it going up a couple weight classes, if they practically cut no weight?

1)most fighters who fight at 135, 145, 155 and 170, they all cut at a least 12-15 pounds. Some cut more.

2) A legit WW fight would've had Robbie or Rory weigh in at 170, then rehydrate 12-15 pounds, maybe even a bit more.

3) Was it a WW fight or was it a LW fight, we're both Conor and Nate cut very few pounds or any to make the 170 limit?

4) A good example would be Masvidal vs Henderson it was really a LW fight but both fighters weren't cutting much weigh to WW. Neither Bendo or Masvidal walk close to 200 pounds and cut to WW. We saw what a real WW did to Bendo in he's last fight. If people fought more closer to their actual weight it would be better, but we know by know there's a reason why most fighters actually cut weight, so they don't come in undersized and give themselves the best chance to win.

4) There was an article were Chael spoke to Conor the week of the fight with Mendes, and Conor had to cut around 25-27 pounds. Chael wasn't sure if Conor was gonna make the weight.

5) You and me know Conor and Nate are real 155ers( neither of them get close to 200 pounds and cut to 170), neither have the right frame to fight against Rory or Wonderboy. Call it what it really was, it was a LW fight basically without a weight cut.

6) Conor was scheduled to fight a 155 so he was gonna cut weight regardless and it was he's idea and belief that weigh was no issue. Don't forget he's best quote size doesn't matter.

Great points actually. But all I meant/wrote is that with Nate's frame, he could go up to 170 if he so desired, obviously he'd have to put on some size but his frame could hold it imo.
I don't see Conor's frame allowing him to do that.

RDA would have gotten whipped.

Run up and get done up, McGregor is breaking necks and cashing checks. He's chin checking all these bums.

If the fight with Dos Anjos would have gone ahead, Connor would have won, yes.
....but that's only because Dos Anjos had a broken leg.
