'You see all those belts Floyd won....... yeah well there all now my belts now! He should give them to me. As I'm the only one that's beat him'

wonderfullife wrote: » Says who? Gastelum didn't get "badly hurt" and he's not even a big welterweight, nevermind middleweight. You all have really short memories. BJ Penn fought Lyoto giving him 34lbs. Lyoto weighed in at 225lbs and that was a really competitive, close fight. You can definitely score one of the rounds for Penn. Kenny Florian fought at middleweight too, fair enough Diego Sanchez landed a bomb on him. Of course it's not *fantasy* for Conor to one day fight at middleweight. I never said he would win the middleweight title. Fight for it? Sure. Who's gonna stop him? He can do whatever he wants in the UFC.

Subcomandante Marcos wrote: » Kelvin is 5'9", Woodley is 5'9", Mark Hunt is 5'9". Conor is the same height as all of them but they are all MUCH bigger men than Conor and they'd all throw him around the cage for fun. Rory McDonald is the same height as Nate Diaz but he was able to rag doll him because height and size are very different thing. Diaz is a tall light weight, Rory is a HUGE WW and wouldn't be a small middle weight. You're looking at this as "Conor and Kelvin are the same size" they absolutely are not and never will be. Conor talked about fighting Nate at 170 being a bad idea as Diaz is "so big" and a "monster". Against genuine WW's and MW's he'd be on a hiding to nothing.

EagererBeaver wrote: » Some of us. Who says he'll ever want to fight at MW, other than you? There has never been anything to remotely link him to realistically pursuing the MW strap. Your original retort of "try again" to an expressed opinion was embarrassingly condescending. Your role as chief McGregor fanboy doesn't make your points any more or less valid then anyone else's.

wonderfullife wrote: » Conor himself said it in an interview with Andrew McGahon. He said he's bringing in middleweights fresh to spar and sparring with guys 180lbs-200lbs easy and that his plan is to keep eating, keep growing and collect belts. That was before the Nate Diaz fights, his thinking may have changed since but he was 100% alluding to welterweight and middleweight. BJ Penn and Kenny Florian are very similar to Conor in frame and they both fought at middleweight and BJ fought at heavyweight if you're classing that Machida open-weight fight for what it is and he was very competitive. Brian Ebersole fought at 155lbs, 170lbs, 185lbs, 205lbs and Heavyweight. Kenny Florian fought at 145lb, 155lb, 170lb and 185lb. Rumble Johnson has fought at 170lb, 185lb, 205lb and heavyweight. Ivan Menjivar fought at 135lb, 145lb, 155lb and fought GSP at 170lbs. . Whether he can win or not, Conor can absolutely fight at 170lbs and 185lbs, for sure. As for his chances of winning against the current champions, I'd say he'd be favourite against Woodley and a slight underdog against Bisping.
