Can Gaethje beat Conor?

Diaz has a mad chin unlike most, Conor cracks most who stand with him. Khabib beats all of them.

God, Conor is so over rated. The amount of people sucking his dick on this forum is insane. It's like the Wandy and Fedor hype trains all over again. Conor has had the luxury of tailor made opponents his whole career. Justin would wreck his shit and not come up to 170 to do it. So would Tony. It's not a stand up game only. 

Justin won't wrestle and get cracked! 

colubrid1 - Who is the other great wrsetler who never uses wrestlin? Forget his name.

the guy with the great predigree who sat there and waited to bait the other guy in. Forget his name.

Anyway, nobody knows why the guy never uses his wrestling. Maybe the same for Gaetje

Henderson? Romero?

Keep in mind, the Gaethje that fought Johnson, Alvarez, and Poirer was fighting blind and hadn’t had his vision corrected and yet, those fights were still competitive up until the finish.

Since getting his eyes fixed, he’s been fucking up people like it’s going out of style.

IMO, Conor fights Masvidal next for the BMF title at 170. That’s the one guaranteed money-fight available for Conor that will maximize his and the UFC’s returns.

He’s not going to get a title-shot at Khabib next. That instantly de-legitimizes the sport and everyone knows that.

And he’s not going to fight Gaethje for number one contender since it’s not a win/win situation.

I don't see it ending will against Jorge. Way too much size difference. 

Pleas love to dog Conor on here but the truth is in his UFC career on the feet before he gasses he has been untouchable. Justin and Conor would no doubt take place on the feet and I think Conor can stop him if he does it within the first 2 round. Soon as Conor’s tank starts to empty and he slows down at all Gaethje will end him. It would be a hell of a fight. 

Gaethje will drag McNuggets into deep water and dump his body ‘Dexter over the ship..

I think Poirier beats Conor, and Gaetje has a fair chance...

Another wrestleboxer who isn’t a specialist at either. Conor feasts on those matchups

Makes it look easy too. These guys all want to play at kickboxing and not fight mma. They’re not good enough strikers to beat connor at his own game. He snipes Justin early in the 2nd with a left behind the ear. 

yup. can but not a ure thing if Conor gets him to fight emotional which is what Conor would try to do.

Get him to reach, over-commit and be open for counter combos.

If Gaethje ignores and uses his entire game, he can definitely win.

Yup, and Conor can beat Gaetje.
