In a three round fight, Nurmagomedov is the light weight GOAT. In a 5 rounder I'm not so sure anymore. Think Conor beats Edgar and Aldo if he were to face them again. Probably beats Holloway too, but I still see potential in Holloway.

Think Holloway will take the 145 belt sooner or later, he's improving so fast and his long and lanky frame is perfect for that division.

I disagree. Definitely think either holloway or Edgar are real threats to mcgregor.

Stipe was a tough one but I don't see anyone below him having less of a threat. Lawler is going to have his hands full with Thompson.

No idea how you're so confident that Khabib would lose to RDA in a five rounder. Khabib dominated RDA wire to wire in a 3rd fight and looked fresh at the end of the fight.

I don't think there's anyone in the division that Nurm can't take down and grapple fuck. Ferg is by far his greatest threat.

rda improved since that fight, hes built for 5 rounds and khabib isnt, his style is taxing on his cardio. in 5 rounds, khabib loses more often then not to rda, brooks, ferg, alverez and cerrone.

holloway is 2nd best in the division currently and i believe the only guy that can give mcgrgeor a competive fight at 145.

will brooks is a tough match-up for everyone in the division.

He can be beaten in a 3 rounder by many in the division, just by being fairly low volume. Fergie, Eddie etc. He will be very hard to beat in a five rounder though. Awful matchup for Khabib in a 5 rounder.
