He's capable of beating anyone, but the odds are heavily against him fighting almost anyone in the top 10. There are loads of fighters just like him in the division that will always have a place in the roster, but will never amount to anything other than being in the top 15. And that's commendable in itself and they've still 'made it' big time. Anyone who can make, and consistently stay, in the top 15 in the UFC is a generally elite fighter regardless.

If you accept that it's highly unlikely that most come out of those three fights with a win then you have no basis for claiming that Cowboy is done or even any worse than he's ever been.

eagle eye wrote: » Wanna go back before he fought three of the top guys in the division? Iaquinta, Hernandez, Perry, loss to Edwards over the distance and Madeiros. That's four wins in five fights. You say time has taken it's toll on him but you have to look at who beat him. How many fighters are winning one of those three fights against McGregor, Gaethje and Ferguson?

eagle eye wrote: » Conor arguably looked in the best shape of his career and weighed in exactly on the limit. There is no basis for your assumption that a regular 170 fighter would beat him due to size.

Man Vs ManUre wrote: » Pretty disrespectful comments from Cerrone today about his last fight. He should just have said it didn’t go his way and he has learned from it for May 9th. This whole ‘I didn’t wanna be there’ ‘Donald was there but Cowboy wasn’t’ is garbage. He was after Conor fight for years and he got bashed to oblivion from as soon as the bell went.
