He was among the greats and the best LW ever. The bigger story though is what matchup or matchups do you make to determine the new LW champion? You got Dustin, Justin, Tony, Dan and Chandler out there.

f---ing might as well.... I would put it in the contract they have one year to defend though. Last thing we need is Conor winning then not fighting again for two years.

I think everyone is forgetting a big dark horse in this race, do bronx baby. That kid is improving in all facets of MMA every fight, his last 6 fights all finishes and all but one of them POTN.
As for Khabib retiring, I doubt it. Money talks and if they offer him GSP he will take it.

Tony vs Dustin for the title makes the most sense but I'm guessing Tony vs Chandler and Conor vs Dustin are the next matchups to determine championship fight with Gaethje taking on someone else to stay in the mix. I understand Tony lost to Justin but 1. Gaethje just lost the title fight and 2. Tony was on a huge win streak prior.

Is he even ranked?
1 win at 155 against Alvarez.
What year was that?

I agree.
It'll be a BS Shot.
But it's what happens
Only bcuz the matchup was already made.
Otherwise it'd be Dustin vs Tony (rightfully)

oh
Well, Conor's the boss and he wants 170.

Conor is not the boss, Dana and Conor have parted ways a number of time over power play. Both WANT the money, neither NEEDS the money. I would say Conor is the one fighter that is on equal footing, in terms of leverage, with Dana because he has the financial ability to live a great life with ever working again.
Especially with Khabib gone, it would be a waste of a bout. That said, who knows when Conor would want to fight again. Honestly, the thought of Conor going home with another belt leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I know everyone is going to hate this. But if I were Dana, Im booking Poirier vs Conor for the vacant belt. Its literally perfect timing. Have Tony fight Chandler in a title eliminator.
Im just wondering now how quickly, or carefully, Ali “crapbox” Abdelaziz will try to manuever the UFC into pushing Islam Makachaev into the title picture

Conor is the boss.
If he wants the title shot its his.
