5'7" vs 5'10" both have 70" reach advantage.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

I didn't think they were, either, but I lost my Aldo and Khabib trading cards, so I couldn't be sure.

Khabib from the top and Mendes from the top have very different games.

Khabib is really really good at passing guard and not letting guys up while doing it. If they do stand up he usually takes them down right away.

I'm having a hard time reconciling this with loads of video evidence of him getting bashed by Nate Diaz but it's true.

It is too early, yes, and that's not a knock on Conor.

I think he has the potential to be in that conversation someday.

Not trying to say he isn't insanely excellent now, but let's get some title defenses going. I think holding on to your belt is the toughest thing to do in the UFC so if he can rack up some defenses of the extremely hard to keep 155 belt that would put him up there with some of the other GOATs.

Next to Cruz he is my favorite fighter to watch from a technical standpoint. His gameplan and the way he just executes it are just amazing.

bj and randy had some defenses. although at least in bjs case not with both belts. cant remember if randy defended the lhw belt or if vitor cutting him prevented that. Still Conor is poised right now to pass either guy. BJ and Randy were probably dealing with bigger size discrepancies going from LW to WW and LHW to HW than Conor moving up only 10 lbs.

Yeah that might be true but if Conor went up to 265 he could probably beat Tim Sylvia

Conor is very very good and he has wisely built his game around his freakishly long arms but he is not the greatest of all time because Jon jones' arms are more freakish

We need to see how good Conor is at wrapping cars around poles before we get definitive here.

He still needs to at least defend a belt. It's looking like he could easily clean out FW and LW at the same time if he wants, though.

Again, conor is excellent but last year or the year before if someone else went 1-1 with Nate Diaz and beat Alvarez you'd call them the #11 lightweight in the world instead of the greatest of all time. Just calm the gently caress down
