Who is Conor’s definitive rival?

[Hazuki Ryo]

Personal rivalry : Poirier
Competitive rivalry : Nate
Inferiority complex : Khabib

 

[Nobru]

Focus. He seems to have none.

 

[Dionysian]

Gotta go with the guy whose rivalry with Conor resulted in actual criminal offenses and the literally most watched MMA fight in human history.

If pure competitiveness was the only criteria for a rivalry then there's plenty of undercard fights that eclipse every Conor fight ever.

That old man in the bar

But in terms of fun answers, this + any number of battered women

 

[RockyLockridge]

Cocaine. He's gone Countless rounds with Cocaine over his career.

 

[TJH Exitium]

 

[Snoowpy]

Khabib sonned him. He was a drunk at that time already though.

 

[sonhow]

Floyd mini Mayweather
Aldo
Diez
Khabib
Dustin

His top rivalries

 

[NicholasJBasile]

Artemij Sitenkov

 

[Morris88]

Jake Gyllenhaal

 

[ChessJitsu]

Khabib lives rent-free in his head more than anyone else

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Sobriety

Or confidence/self-esteem...
All that chest-puffing and posturing and boasting and peacocking...
The dude is clearly the most insecure man alive and is grossly (and transparently) overcompensating.

 

[AmonTobin]

Jeremy Stephens. Conor felt so threatened by him he pretended to never know him.

 

[VinceArch]

Personal rivalry : Poirier
Competitive rivalry : Nate
Inferiority complex : Khabib

Probably the best answer.

 

[Deceasedxo]

Khabib with nate coming in close second. Khabib because it got very personal and nate because he never mentally got over that loss and spiralled mentally even when he was winning after.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

Dustin is #1

Back and forth fights
He broke his leg cuz of Dustin
He made. Conor look weak getting stretchered off.
He has a hot sauce company competing with the likes of proper twelve.

Khabib, purely due to the genuine hatred between the two and how much Khabib fked him up and still eats away at Conor every mention of it, 24/7 rent lmao.

But, not a rival in the sense there was any competition there. What Khabib did to him probably happens 9/10 times, unless Conor can luckily catch him, before the ragdolling begins.

Sherdog still wouldn't have recovered today if this landed cleaner and KO'd Khabib:

It would join the "Aldo was a fluke KO" if he had two sub 15 second KO title wins.

 

[markg171]

Anybody saying anything other than Khabib simply weren't around back then.

He fucking hopped on his private jet and flew across the ocean to throw a dolly at Khabib's bus after Khabib slapped Artem.

A true golden age of MMA.
