I feel like that series of fights would be the best money decision for UFC, and all three guys.

2020-01-24 03:41:34 UTC  

Lots of PPV buys.

2020-01-24 03:41:48 UTC  

I worry he doesn't have the horsepower he needs for that division

2020-01-24 03:42:19 UTC  

If he runs into Woodley or Covington he's fucked

2020-01-24 03:42:27 UTC  

Now that he's not weight cutting, and he's spending more time with his boxing coach, he may shock us with the power he can generate.

2020-01-24 03:42:44 UTC  

We'll see.

2020-01-24 03:42:53 UTC  

He's no gsp

2020-01-24 03:43:03 UTC  

Oh, I agree. Covington is a bad mother fucker.

2020-01-24 03:43:31 UTC  

I mean, if he stays at Welterweight, and he gets starched, then I'll eat crow, and he should just retire.

2020-01-24 03:43:46 UTC  

He had a long reach at 155 not so much at 170. He's gonna have to get close to land

2020-01-24 03:44:20 UTC  

I'm a fan of Conor, and I believe him when he says that 170 has been where he's always felt most comfortable.

2020-01-24 03:44:28 UTC  

at 145 he looked like he was dying...

2020-01-24 03:44:30 UTC  

lol

2020-01-24 03:44:38 UTC  

He's lucky till moved up

2020-01-24 03:44:56 UTC  

Imagine that monster vs McGregor

2020-01-24 03:45:14 UTC  

I don't think I've ever seen Till fight, TBH.

2020-01-24 03:45:19 UTC  

I should.

2020-01-24 03:46:16 UTC  

He had a bad skid running into masvidal and Woodley, beat gastelum at middle weight though

2020-01-24 03:47:53 UTC  

I'm currently watch Fury/Wilder 1. Man, Fury got robbed.

2020-01-24 03:48:27 UTC  

Yeah, Wilder knocked him down twice... Fury still answered the count both times, and kept out boxing him.

2020-01-24 03:49:03 UTC  

Fury won that, fuck those judges

2020-01-24 03:49:13 UTC  

Here's what happens when you have a guy who is all technique, little power (as you pointed out), vs a guy who is all power, and little technique.

2020-01-24 03:49:33 UTC  

Not saying Wilder is a bad boxer, cause he's not, but he isn't the most technical fighter I've ever seen.

2020-01-24 03:50:18 UTC  

He's a left hook and a BIG right hand

2020-01-24 03:50:35 UTC  

Fucking killer cardio though. To be throwing those big shots the entire fight and not gas out is very impressive.

2020-01-24 03:51:20 UTC  

That's always been Conor's big weakness.

2020-01-24 03:51:36 UTC  

If he can't starch you in the first two rounds, he's kinds fucked.

2020-01-24 03:51:48 UTC  

The outlier being Holloway, and Diaz 2.

2020-01-24 03:51:49 UTC  

He's like 204 lbs

2020-01-24 03:52:38 UTC  

Quick twitch guys usually have shit cardio

2020-01-24 03:52:59 UTC  

Or their technique suffers

2020-01-24 03:53:45 UTC  

214.95, as of his last weigh-in.

2020-01-24 03:53:51 UTC  

Yeah, he's lighter than I thought.

2020-01-24 03:54:00 UTC  

Fury has like 20lbs on him. lol

2020-01-24 03:54:30 UTC  

However, at that weight, 20lbs isn't as big a deal.

2020-01-24 03:54:30 UTC  

No fat

2020-01-24 03:54:43 UTC  

Fury is King Dad Bod...

2020-01-24 03:54:44 UTC  

lol

2020-01-24 03:55:04 UTC  

It would be in mma, especially grappling

2020-01-24 03:55:25 UTC  

Fucking 20 lbs is a huge difference until you're talking sumo.

2020-01-24 03:55:45 UTC  

I'd agree, and this may be an outlier, but Velasquez was quite a bit smaller than Lesnar.
