I have no preference whether Conor wins or loses.
I just want him to defend at 145 first.
Then fight khabib.
After that go for the trilogy w Diaz.

I don't see this thread being any different if Conor beats Khabib.
He seems to get respect for his performance as a fighter.
It's the madness surrounding that that people take issue with, whether it be his "antics" or Dana's handling of the circumstances.

Yeah..don't think many are questioning his skills these days
I just want to see him fight the top guys.. and 'tougher' match-ups. I wouldn't mind a trilogy.. but I'd like to see him defend his title(s) against the top LW contenders or Aldo

Khabib is a straight SAVAGE. Told Johnson to straight give up and telling Dana he's coming to smash Conor

There's only one fighter who calls himself diamond and his standup is garbage.

Javier keeping the Khabib wagon rolling.. I hope Conor lets all this talk get under his skin. It's the only way we get them to fight.. there needs to be constant ducking talk for the next two months. Let it just marinate with Conor.. cuz right now he's looking at all these other options
"Yes, 100 percent, he is ducking Khabib," Mendez told ESPN.com. "I know that from the words he is saying. 'He doesn't fight enough for my taste'? Give me a break.
"You can say, 'Hey, I want to fight Nate Diaz a third time.' Fine. Say that. But don't try to put my guy down because you are trying to avoid him. Don't belittle my guy. That's bulls---."
"When he fought Chad Mendes, I thought it proved he wasn't ducking anybody," Mendez said. "But now he's doing this and I'm thinking he's trying to avoid Khabib. I think Khabib, [lightweight contenders] Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson all give Conor a hell of a fight -- but the guy who gives him the worst time, by far, is Khabib. He's the strongest grappler in the division."
Nurmagomedov, 28, has said that if the UFC denies him a title shot, he won't fight for the organization again. As far as Mendez knows, Nurmagomedov is serious about it.
"That's what he has said this whole time," Mendez said. "And it's not about fighting Conor. He doesn't care if he fights Conor. He wants to fight for the title. He has no beef with any fighter out there. He wants the title to prove he's the best, and he wants to defend it against the best."

Conor's coach only said nate/max best in division because conor already beat them both. Conor is calling who he fights next. Let's get that clear. No way it's gonna be khabib.

this.
since aldo who was clearly washed... and probably before
alvares matchup was neverrrr going to be anything different than what we got
fighter known for getting tagged off on with a height and reach deficiancy... connor got lucky RDA dissolved after he stopped doin that stuff, giving alvares the shot to be champ. Ferg and Khabib demolish either of those guys. Cowboy too.

Kind of tired of all the Connor talk. Let the man cook.
That media company better start promoting their fighters better. Specially Woodley, Grasso, JJ, Cowboy, Rockhold, etc. It'll help them longterm because any card not featuring Connor or Ronda isn't going to do numbers.
So who everyone picking in the Chandler/Henderson fight? And is MVP going to continue the streak?
