Yeah I mean I'd buy the fight for sure. I disagree with you on the champ part though. His only ufc loss was at 170 and he fought like an idiot. This next fight will tell us how dominant he'll be. If he KO's khabib I don't see anyone touching him for a while.
He fought a 155 dude. So, I am not buying that "Nate is a giant 170" narrative. Conor lost fair and square.
However, I do agree with you on his future in the 155 division. I even made a thread about. If Conor gets over Khabib, then the division is open for him to be a great champion.
He has a more than good chance at beating anybody in that division (including Khabib). But, I also believe other 155 number one contenders have a very good chance of beating Conor. They just need to respect the "touch of death."
McGregor's opponents think that he doesn't hit hard, because he is not throwing some crazy looping overhead bombs. So, they go in there thinking they are just going to bully him, until they taste a few lefts and forget their game plans.
A tough fighter who respects the "touch of death," and sticks to the game plan for it, has a good chance at beating McGregor, like McGregor has a chance of beating him.
McGregor is a "right match up" champion, I don't see him as a "go down the contender list and eradicate the division for the next 5 years" champ.
2017 is going to be super interesting.
