Should Conor defend, should he do this, should he do that, all these opinions here is mine. Conor has yet to defend one of his belts yes however when RDA pulled Aldo was called for a rematch but he "Wasn't ready" which seems rather odd, as he likes to talk big about a rematch but when he was offered one he claimed he needed more time.
I do however 100% agree Conor needs to defend his lightweight title against Tony or if the UFC were to make a Diaz vs Tony or Barbosa vs Tony he needs to defend against the victor. But I see so many people hating on him for pursuing a Mayweather fight, those people need to ask themselves "If I had a chance to make that much $ and stamp myself as a legend for conducting a crossover fight against one of the greatest boxers of all time would I turn that down?" No way your answer is "Yes I would rather defend my UFC lightweight belt"
Conor is currently on a break which I don't think you can argue he doesn't deserve as he's been one of the most active fighters over the past few years, and nobody ever has a problem when other fighters go on breaks, granted yes he is the champion, and Champions don't usually take breaks but Conor is unique. Conor needs to defend yes but just keep in mind, the chances of him defending after Mayweather fight if it is to happen are very high. Just my opinion, what do you think?
