LOL at GSP NOT giving Conor trouble.
When has Connor faced someone with wrestling like GSP??
He couldn't consistently stuff GSP's shots.
As for Connor beating Woodely, don't make me laugh.
Connor is certainly one of a kind, and one of the best P4P out there, and will go down as one of the P4P best eventually, but he's still naturally someone who belongs somewhere between LW and Featherweight.
Woodley is a MONSTER WW, didn't he fight at MW too??
He's got GREAT wrestling, VERY powerful explosive striking, good chin, decent BJJ.
WAY too much for Connor to handle.
People are SO much in love with Connor right now they think he can beat everyone but he can't.
If Diaz subbed him the first time, how do you think Connor would do with a more powerful, more explosive striker who probably hits harder than Diaz, is 10 times better at wrestling, and also has decent BJJ??
Totally different style match up, but I don't see it likely that Connor could just knock Woodley out and stuff all his shots.
Woodley would come forward with power of his own, a great chin, and not be at a reach disadvantage.
He'd have enough striking and power to back Connor up enough to get in on the takedowns, and once on his back it would be the beginning of the end.
And of COURSE the Storm agrees with TNCclubman, cause they are the same poster LOL.
Also, of course Woodley wants a LW/FW over Wonderboy cause Wonderboy gave him FITS.
That fights was rightful draw: both guys had their moments and caused eachother a lot of trouble and a rematch could go either way.
Then we have Maia waiting to fight the winner.
Giving Connor a shot at WW is just not fair to either Wonderboy or Maia and is ridiculous as well.
Connor can't simply just beat EVERYONE.
We are forgetting how badly he lost to Diaz the first time.
What, should we give him a shot at Bisping?
What about Cormier?
Can he beat DC?
Or even Stipe? LOL
He's really one of the best we have ever seen, but he's not unbeatable and I don't think he's unbeatable at LW either.
I want to see him fight Khabib.
Someone said that because Johnson got in some good shots on Khabib it means Connor would beat him but that's going too far: Khabib is 24-0 and has ragdolled EVERYONE he's fought.
Sure, Johnson got in some shots before being taken down, and STILL possibly lost that first round 10-8, certainly lost the second 10-8 IMO and got subbed in the 3rd.
Khabib made Johnson his bitch LOL.
Both Khabib and Ferguson would give Connor everything he could handle and both have legit shots at beating him.
I think Khabib and Ferguson need to fight to get the shot at Connor.
I'm not sure who is ranked higher, but if they aren't going to fight then whoever is ranked higher should get the next shot at him, with the other getting the shot at the winner of that.
But I wouldn't be so entirely sure that Connor can get through BOTH Khabib and Ferguson and stay champ.
Lets hold our horses on him taking over WW as well lol.
