I was thinking about the previous generation. They kept saying that in the next decade, the fighters are going to be freakishly skilled. In a way, they are better strikers, but with grappling, it feels like a regression. That being said, could Conor handle the grappling/judo skills of Karo Parisyan?
I know Karo is at 170 but Conor has fought 170 and curios to know if his power would translate to 170 pounders from the past era?
Joe Riggs also had crazy good boxing skills and is fighting Hector Lombard soon!
Matt Hughes might be able to endure and take him down but I think Conor can catch him but still get taken down.
Josh Koscheck may try to out wrestle him but get countered and lose unless he gets top position on a takedown.
Nick Diaz would beat him due to volume and being insane. No chance for Conor.
Matt Serra: No idea who wins this..
Sean Sherk was an animal. No Denis Siver, Sean did great against Nick but lacks the reach.
BJ Penn: Conor may have advantage standing but on the ground he is in trouble but BJ doesnt have strong takedowns.
GSP not need to be mentioned.
