Conor vs Edgar will be a one sided event and same goes if he moves up. Dos anjos has a good ground game, he showcased this vs showtime. Both petis and Conor are alike, both are quality in the stand up, both are not great on the ground. Both have losses vs fighter with a ground game.
Unless he improves his takedown defence then Edgar will win. Sure he has knockout power and could abuse edger in the stand up. But given Chad managed to take him down with ease, Edgar will keep him on the ground. Dos anjos has a ground and stand up game so in theory is definitely the better fighter on paper. Still think if he moves up, he shouldn't have a shot, he has a win streak on his weight class so was worthy of a title shot but moving up he has 0 wins. So why should he be allowed a shot? He should have to start at the bottom like everyone moving. Him and ronda get special treatment and it's not right.
I'm also starting to think lawler leaves brown envelopes for the judges before the fight.
