He's one of the greatest fighters of all time, and you're picking a guy whose grappling hasn't been tested in the UFC, with 2 submission losses to beat him? Maybe you're just overrating Conor. Dan Hardy, Edson Barboza, Michael McDonald, Brian Bowles, ect. all received hype. For some reason people tend to buy into a striker whose grappling hasn't been tested. I think that Conor vs. Edgar looks exactly like Edgar vs. Swanson.
I don't even like Conor, but he's huge. He's probably good sized for a LW. Edgar had a lot harder time taking down LWs. Although as I said I would like to see Conor's TD tested, it's not hard to imagine him stopping a lot of them by size and strength, and getting up quickly when he is taken down. But I would absolutely love to be wrong (Though I'd prefer if Aldo wrecked him instead/first).
So you don't object to favoring Mendes over him?
