and possibly 5-10 lbs heavier / longer reach..

makes a big difference


They're the same weight aren't they? Plus, any advantage in weight by McGregor would be offset by his height advantage

What fucking realm do you live in, in which this makes logical sense to you?

5 lbs of water weight makes a huge difference in size on a guy that is already 2" taller

And conor fights wayyyy longer.

Aldo has that stalking compact Muay Thai style, which shrinks his reach as is.

a 6ft guy that is 170 would be around the same size as a 6"1 dude that is 175 or so. You can obviously get people that weigh less and look bigger, but generally speaking my point makes perfect logical sense, and you're a bit dim for not getting it sooner

No they're not.

It's all encompassing.

That's like saying someone that's 5'7" 160 and someone that's 6' 190 are the "same size."

The reach, the long fighting style, the probably 8LB weight advantage... It's all adds up.

Look at how big conor looked when him and mendes were striking.

He's probably never done any form of martial art

He's a hnf section troll so he feels he knows anything when it comes to fighting based on size
