Someones on board the hype train

Even if he beats RDA he still won't even have a title defense or have cleared out a division. The 1st two division champ is intriguing until one actually thinks about how getting fast tracked takes away from the legitimacy of it. MMAth doesn't work, what makes champs great is fighting all different types of fighters and defending the title when everyone is going for you.

If we are talking ALL TIME, Conor needs at least 2-3 more fights to prove it. If he beats RDA, drops down to beat Edgar, and then back up to 155 where he wants to stay to clear out all contenders his name rightfully will belong on this list. He's one of the top fighters of today, but he debatably isn't even the top fighter in the ufc at this moment.. Jones, Mighty Mouse, possibly even Cruz if he gets past Dillashaw all have a legitimate claim to that.

beating RDA would put his name out there, but would be one of the first to be dismissed in the discussion. you can't claim to be the best all time when you have holes in your game.

Dos Anjos, with his steroids and metal jaw, is gonna kick the s**t out of McGregor.

Gregor is resourceful. He will probably KO RDA with a knee to the liver -- just watch.

Yes, but by adding him to the poll im not claiming hes the best of all time, just one of them. Considering he'd be the only other two time champ of all time other than couture and bj i thnk that he deserves honorable mention, especially when also taking in account all the financial records he's broken in such a short period...

Think about it, being on the poll doest mean youre the greatest of all time, just means you were one of the greatest of all time, which he is defintely trending in that direction.

If this poll was truly accurate then the only names on the list should be Anderson, GSP, and Jones. Everyone else is just there for honorable mention.

Lets say hypothetically mcgregor was to beat dos anjos then retired with both belts, because he never defended them he would never be considered the greatest, but he wouldve already done enough to arguably consider himself among the top 10 of all time

Where do u rank Silva? I, and many, believe hes the GOAT, but he had the same exact style of fighting as connor. Both have tremendous standup, but holes in wresting. Silvas BJJ is much better then Mcgregors though

If Dos Anjos comes out with his usual aggressive style and tries to rush McGregor the way Aldo did, he'll get finished quick.

Dos Anjos' only chance in this fight is to utilize his wrestling

The difference with Silva is that he went against multiple ground artists and ended up prevailing in the end. Silva tapped BJJ black belts. If all people were given to judge Silva was his fight against Chael then there would be allot of doubt in his P4P status, but he fought multiple ground experts who fought there way to top contender and won. Right now Conor only has Mendes as a notch on his belt in that category.

So if he got both belts and retired no doubt he would be regarded as one of the top by popular vote, but many if not all hardcore fans would say he doesn't belong in the top 3 maybe even top 5 because he never cemented his accomplishments. Again this is if we are talking all time, if he retires after his next fight he will have only fought 3 people at the top of their respective division Mendes, Aldo and RDA while seemingly avoiding Edgar... Comparing that record to many others on this list and his goat status takes a big hit.

PS: Tbph I could care less about PPV #s when it comes to comparing fighters as allot of fans of this sport are fair weather hype train sheep who took one BJJ intro class bought an affliction shirt and thought it made them badass. If we want to start a who is the best as self promotion poll, Conor will win that in a landslide.
