Conor Continues to Set Records

[member 3289]

- Only simultaneous 2-division champ in UFC history

- Fastest title-winning victory in UFC history

- Reached the top of both the MMA world and the boxing world

And now....

- Only UFC fighter ever to whoop the reigning world's strongest man (Pudzianowski doesn't count bc he was retired from strongman competitions when he started MMA)

BUT Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (AKA The Mountain) has just been crowned the World's Strongest Man:

This is what happened when the strongest man on the planet fought McJesus:

No one else on the GOAT list has done anything close to this. No one.

Thoughts?

Only person that might be almost as impressive is this woman:

that video is from 2015, so no he didn't whup the worlds strongest man, he whupped the guy (and he didn't actually do anything to him, but we'll put that to one side) that went on to be crowned the world's strongest man.

Conor also didn't hold the belts simultaneously unless you actually count him holding the LW and WW belts when he was supposed to be the FW and LW champ, Tyron's belt was loaned to him after Conor threw all his toys out the pram. By the time he was able to hold his FW and LW belts simultaneously he'd already been stripped of the FW title.

I'm still a big Conor fan but you nuthuggers make it more and more difficult.

GSP would've been crowned double champ too if Dana let him keep the WW title while he was "taking a break"

that isn't relevant to this discussion. What is relevant is that Conor fought twice between his title fights and even lost one of those but still Dana let him keep the FW title just in case he lost to RDA lol it's not like the UFC actually gave a fuck about the double champ bullshit or they would've had both belts ready for him, and they definitely didn't because we all had to wait while they went searching for it and came back with Tyron's belt as a compromise. He's 1-0 at LW (in the UFC) and 1-1 at WW but somehow he's the LW and WW champ? If you fight twice 2 weight classes above the division you're champion in and then you fight again in the weight class directly above, I think it's fair to say he isn't the champion in that lower weight class anymore, but keep harping on about history like it wasn't all put together for Conor the cry baby.

BJ Penn was the first double simultaneous champ. Beat Matt Hughes for the WW strap, then "Sean Sherk, you're dead."

Conor was second, GSP was third.

Argument for Randy, as Josh Barnett was stripped for pissing hot.

 

[sparkuri]

Royce was the first, and all in one night.

BJ Penn was the first double simultaneous champ. Beat Matt Hughes for the WW strap, then "Sean Sherk, you're dead."

He may not have lost the WW belt in a fight, but he had long been stripped when he became lightweight champ.

Same with GSP regarding ww/mw straps.

Conor is the only one to hold two belts concurrently/simultaneously.

Also BJ and GSP never beat up the World's Strongest Man.

Can't really compare the two because the space between Conor winning the FW title and winning the LW title is less than a year, and he was actively competing in that time.

GSP was out for 4 years and obviously not actively competing.

actively competing 2 weight classes above he should've been stripped and was stripped the morning after he beat Eddie. The whole thing was manufactured and not as big a deal as they like to claim.

try watching that video before making claims that Conor beat up the world's strongest man. Just watch the video.

if you come back with the same reply I'm putting you on ignore for being legitimately retarded.

 

[Ted Williams' head]

Still, he was actively competing. You're right in suggesting they gave Conor more leeway given who he was, but the example you brought up was a bit silly.

Still, special leeway or not, the fact remains: Conor SLEPT two world champions to get his belts, so it is a big deal.

 

[Ted Williams' head]

It's funny the revisionist history that goes on with the Conor haters. They act like Conor was just ducking responsibility at 145.

Conor wins the FW title and signs on to fight for the LW title a mere 3 months later. The champ drops out and he has to fight and last minute replacement. The last minute replacement chokes him out for an upset victory.

So what do you do if you're Conor and the UFC? Do you promote a FW rematch between Conor and Aldo, when the first one lasted 13 seconds? One guy is coming off a 13 second KO, the other guy is coming off an upset submission loss? Yeah, that's great business...

Or do you run it back and make the rematch between Diaz and Conor that everyone wanted to see, the one that sold 1.6 MILLION PPVS.

So Conor gets through that, signs on to finally fight for the LW title 3 months later, and wins. Ohh, but it would have been much better for everyone if Conor fought Jose again, a guy who dropped out of one fight and refused another when offered. A guy who he knocked out in 13 seconds.

this is the problem. the facts are there but his fans keep embellishing them to make him look even better and that is what pisses off so many MMA fans. Stick to what he actually did and not what he did in your's or Dana White's fantasy

for example he "slept" Aldo but Alvarez was wide awake when the stoppage came and was in no way "slept"

All of this is fine as long as he is stripped of the 145 belt after the second Diaz fight, the one that wasn't on short notice. Remember that the rematch was first scheduled for UFC 200 as the main event but that fell through when Conor refused to fulfill his media obligations and then retired.

I don't see what the big deal is other than to favourably manufacture the piece of history he asked for. Conor winning the FW belt and then later the LW belt would've been huge, it didn't have to fuck over another weight class and make a mockery of the sport in general. Now all the other "stars" are trying to pull the same bullshit and it's lame.

lol@ taking the word "slept" literally as some kind of point... lol

Okay, I take that back. He didn't "sleep" Alvarez - he dominated him, dropped him multiple times, bounced him off the canvas like a basketball, and hit him with a combination that left him completely helpless on the mat to where Big John had to rush in and save him. Better?

I like how you say "for example", like you have more than one. What did I say that wasn't indisputable fact?

thanks for taking it back.

Conor sets the record for weakest champ in UFC history, only person to have 2 belts and 0 defenses

Jones, double digit defenses
Anderson, double digit defense
GSP, ditto
MM, ditto
Matt hughes about 8 defenses maybe


Current champs MM,Holloway,Woodley,Stipe all have multiple defenses

Conor has 0

Might have the record for most times stripped of a title lol

And might have the record for most projectiles thrown outside the arena

Serra, Rockhold, Germaine, Bisping and a few more have a worse championship reign than Conor.
