Conor will be fw champ for a long time and probably LW champ if he wants to. Diaz was his hardest stylistic matchup and is also the biggest guy conor will be facing for a while.

Does anyone think Frankie, Aldo, alvarez, rda, or max holloway even have a chance?

Sure, they all have a chance. Especially Alvarez and RDA.

To understand this, you would have to understand what ''having a chance'' means.
 
A guy that will stand with him and has pretty bad wrestling is his worst stylistic matchup?????? NO. A strong 155lb wrestler is going to be able to beat Conor

conor will just do to them what he did to mendes but worse because he gets better after every fight.
 
Holloway has a very good chance.
Did you see the first fight?
How about the next 9 wins be Holloway?

nut huggery at its finest... Aldo is a 50/50 fight for Conor, any way you spin it... especially at 145...which Conor will likely never return to FW, judging by his "nothing to prove there" attitude towards the Aldo rematch. It was a 13 second KO... leaves ALOT of questions as any 13 second KO should... Holloway and Edgar both loook good on paper with conor being a slight favorite.

As far as top tier LW's? Lets not forget Pettis(yeah bad streak at the moment), RDA, Alvarez, Cerrone, and Khabib are all probably favorites over Conor... Likely Ferguson as well.

The only fighter that can stand with Conor, and not get finished by him. So yes, Nate is his worst match up. Conor can always train wrestling and ground and keep improving his defense there. But Nate will always be there to give him a tough fight on the feet.

There is a not a lot of fighters who can take Conor shots at LW. Nate might be the only one.

Get put on his ass and elbowed? Unless his opponent gases, which is seriously uncommon at LW, he gets beat by the stronger grapplers often
 
Holloway and McGregor II would interest me

The first fight was total domination for McGregor, his most dominant fight yet. What makes you think Holloway has improved enough to beat Conor?
 
They all have a good chance, but i'd favor conor against any of them. especially the fw's all of which he's beaten excluding edgar.

Nate doesn't have good takedowns. Everyone who watches knows this.

Someone with a wrestling background who can be light on their feet and cover up a.k.a half the divison, have a large chance at getting it done.

Not that conor can't cold clock a decent amount of them as well, he just has a harder chance of landing that shot against someone looking to put him on the floor rather than box

Petty attempt at trolling. Anyone with real fight knowledge knows a 13 second KO is a fluke KO... Am I saying Aldo wins as long as that didn't happen? No... I'm saying given a chance for the fight to play out, with Aldo's history, as well as his much improved 2nd win over Edgar that its a good chance that he can win, and would call it 50/50... especially with the massive cut to 145 and IV ban hurting Conor even worse later in the fight.

Jesus Christ.. Conor fans are impossible to show logic and have them even attempt to comprehend it.

I think McGregor's toughest matchup is something with a good double leg.

Pettis is a FW now.
