Works for Robbie and it's 2 inches shorter than Carlos it's not at all bad..
He has been attacking in straight lines his whole life tis the style and he'll do it straight onto some knuckles. Nah to feminine...
74 inch reach on a guy who's 5'11 > than 74 inch on a guy who's 5'9
Oh, so you like your men more manly?
#3 ranked Tyron Woodley is 5' 9 with 74 inch reach.
Marginal, Conor's footwork has the potential to make up that difference. He will but he'll still do better than Sage at 85.
I already agreed with you on that, lol. Conor's footwork at this point is over rated. It didn't stop Mendes from taking him down. Let him get a couple fights against high end fighters with full camps before you declare him revolutionary.
What about the reach don't run now without accepting you were throwing up smoke at least??
Conor has striking they can only dream of, but that wasn't the argument you were making. You were saying someone of that size is too small to compete at welterweight. I gave two examples of welterweights with similar or smaller attributes, in the two categories discussed, that have been successful to a high degree. Therefore it would not be height or reach that stopped Conor from success at WW, should that time ever come, but other factors.
I agreed from the word go that Sage at 85 < Conor at 70, but ultimately neither of them obtain titles in those divisions. Conor's size is why, same for Sage. The guys who are similar size to Conor at welterweight have outstanding wrestling which allows them to effectively close distance and initiate a clinch better than someone like Conor would likely be able to. That second paragraph, I honestly have no idea what the hell that says, lol. The point I was making is it's highly speculative for people to act as if his footwork negates any potential shortfall, which is exactly where the conversation goes anytime a short coming is pointed out. ie, He's currently the interim FW champ and you're already explaining that his footwork could negate a reach advantage at Welterweight. Let's see how his footwork does against Aldo, Edgar, or Mendes on a full camp before we talk about how it would do against Condit, or Lawler.
Ahhh the old wall of text... it's 5 AM (hence the composition of the last post) I'm going to bed I'll wade through that swamp tomorrow.
No, I said Conor, not "someone" The guys you brought up, have vastly different skill sets.
A twink. Teehehehehe. Never heard that. Lolololol so many dudes are gonna be twinks now
From pic analysis the Northcutts have a nice financial situation going on. The tile in the garage as well as Vagina Northcutt's jewelry and automobiles. Yeah they've never had top ramen noodles for dinner as children. Twinks
2 division is pretty attainable by a few guys
You don't think Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier or Frankie Edgar are within reach of grabbing a second belt?2 division is pretty attainable by a few guys
Out of 62 champs 2 have done this. I'm not a math doctor but I think that's a very small percentage.
Possibly yes but that's still a very small percentage overall. Sorry not trying to split hairs here but a 2 division Champ is very rare and hard to do, that's all I'm saying. The ones who have or will achieve this are in a whole other class of greatness IMO.You don't think Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier or Frankie Edgar are within reach of grabbing a second belt?
I meant it when I said "a few" It's absolutely a very low percentage but the chance is certainly there.
In no way do I think that either of those guys could be looked at in a negative way as far as fighting credentials, Im just saying a lot of people will if they moved up and didn't dominant.
I'm saying I'd be among that group. If a guy who walks around and trains around 230, moves up to fight other guys who weigh 230-240 (Werdum, Cain, Browne) and gets dummied, it looks a lot like all his success is based solely on his ability to cut weight. I don't really question Cormier because we've seen him have success at HW, but Jones doesn't seem to have any interest in moving up.
Ahhhh. I'm not sure how Jon would do at HW but I'd think it would be awesome to see him try seeing he's so dominant at LHW. I think Werdum would beat him 9/10 times.
