With all of this talk about McGregor moving up to WW, how do you think he'd do against an elite WW... From 20 years ago?
 
Hughes all day.

Ww is 2 weightclasses higher than where McGregor was good, and Hughes as a strong wrestler is conors stylistic kryptonite.

Hughes had pretty robotic striking and his chin wasn't anything to write home about, so there's the chance McGregor could land something big and put him on queer street, but that's a hail Mary hope. Prime Hughes would have crushed him 95 times out of a hundred.
 
Hughes might be the only person Conor could beat these days.
 
Conor stuffed Khabib several times and got back to his feet a few times. Conor would KO him stiff
 
Hughes would dominate him, much bigger and stronger and a lot better grappler. It would be like the khabib fight except probably worse. Conor is at his best at feather and lightweight too small for welter.

Hughes is too big, way too strong, and has a amazing submission game


in some alternative timeline where Conor didnt turn into a coke head and continued training after the floyd fight, that version has a chance

But thats some random ass hypotheticaI pulled out of my ass
 
In this imaginary world Conor get murked by Hughes. Matt's ground game was top notch for the time and Conor's ground game is practically non existent, even after all this time.
 
Hughes over McNuggets & Hughes is a dick in person.
 
This is a pretty bad matchup for Conor. Granted I think he has better tdd than he gets credit for but there’s just no way he’s stopping Hughes from taking him down.
