When Conor gets his ass kicked will people finally realize hes a hype job?

Are we taking steroids into the conversation as well?

Those are good names - I feel McGregor surpassed Aldo though. Not just for beating him, but everything else too. He some fighters Aldo beat much more impressively as well.

Only 1 of 3 guys in history to win in 3 separate weight-classes and did so in a 12 month span.

Only one to ever champion two weight classes simultaneously.

And he's been in the UFC for 3 or so years? That's insane.

It's true though, there are some names out there. We can put Henderson, couture etc up there as well. Maybe top 5 is debatable, but top 10 now is guaranteed.

I feel when it's all said and done, people will mention Conor McGregor's name before they mention any other name.

Yeah I haven't watched enough of Aldo or McGregor yet. Last time I did a list, it was something like this:

Fedor
Silva
GSP
Sakuraba
Hendo

Couture
Penn
Hughes
Jones
Liddell

If I made it top 15, I'd add in Aldo and McGregor or put those 2 in the top 10 when I watch them more and probably end up replacing Hughes and Liddell? How's that sound? Of course, once I get to top 15, I also add in the pioneers of the sport, Royce Gracie, Ken and Frank Shamrock, Rickson, Renzo, Dan Severn, Don Frye and Masakatsu Funaki I'd probably add in, from seeing his fights in Pancrase and knowing the other fighters he trained. So that would pretty much by my all-time top 20. How's that for a best list?

If we're talking favorites, then I go with this list I made a while back:

Royce Gracie
Fedor Emelianenko
Kazushi Sakuraba
Anderson Silva
Frank Shamrock

Frank Mir
Ken Shamrock
Mark Coleman
Chuck Liddell
Randy Couture

Igor Vivchanchyn
Matt Hughes
Dan Severn
Don Frye
BJ Penn

Vitor Belfort
Shinya Aoki
Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto
Georges St. Pierre
Genki Sudo


Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
Mirko “Crocop” Filopovic
Cung Le
Wanderlei Silva
Melvin Manhoef

Murilo “Ninja” Rua
Chris Lytle
Sean Sherk
Josh Koscheck
Nick Diaz

Nate Diaz
Phillip Miller
Rickson Gracie
Daniel Puder
Mark Kerr

Gina Carano
Miesha Tate
Ronda Rousey
Megumi Fujii
Cat Zingano

Urijah Faber
Daniel Cormier
Cain Velasquez
Bobby Lashley
Fabricio Werdum

Junior Dos Santos
Mark Hunt
Allistair Overeem
Hermes Franca
Shane Carwin

How's that for a favorites list?

Fedor doesn't even compare to Mcgregor.

Fedor's resume >>> Conor

Based on what? Beating Big Nog and Cro-Cop?

To be fair, the only real elite names Conor has are Aldo and Alvarez.

Plus Fedor had YEARS of being undefeated on top, Conor lost to a journeyman right in the middle of his prime.

Jon Jones>Fedor>Conor.

[F l i c k e r]

Conor jumped up two weight classes, completely, when he lost to said journeyman. Then he rematched and won at the same exact weight.

Fedor lost to Dan Henderson. Whom, if anything, was much more damaged/ washed up than Fedor ever was.
More wars, more losses, more damage. Not only did he lose but he got completely decimated by a man who was MW in Pride while Fedor was HW.

Conor is on track to be the GOAT. I can't give Jon Jones anything when he legitimately cheats.

[fitbill]

He's already knocked out the best ground game guys and even moved up and beat Nate Diaz who is one of the best grapplers at 170.

You just said a big truth. Conor seems like an ultimate fighter to me.
