He won a MD against Nate fucking Diaz. Its definitely by far his least impressive win in the UFC

Well you gotta understand of course he will lean towards his own best interests in his assessments of the fight. You would too if you were smart. He wasn't far off though, he did "fight" more in round one but lost it because of control. He obviously won round 3 and lost the 2nd. What exactly was he off on in his assessment?He's as delusional as his fans.
I wanted Khabib to beat Conor and I knew he would beat Conor comfortably but I was surprised with the fight contrary to popular opinion. After the fight and now this I feel 100% Conor beats 100% Khabib. I just don't like Conor nuthuggers and Conor's personality but nowadays Conor haters have become worse so I want Conor to win in the rematch also. After that fight I could tell Conor is a better fighter than Khabib although he got beat bad. In-shape Conor would demolish the Conor that fought Khabib that night.

What a winnable fight for him?whats important about this post is that Conor has softened his stance on an immediate rematch.
If Conor is willing to take another fight it's win win for everyone. We get Khabib Tony. Conor and the ufc gets a winnable fight and the hype train recovers instead of being crushed by an immediate rematch.
totally different styles of wrestling. both have their pros and cons. in short khabib is a chain wrestler, lee goes for explosive doublesI still think Lee beats Conor (especially with the blueprint Khabib has given him), but if Conor truly wants to win a potential rematch with Khabib, there's no better test for him than Lee. He'll get a version of Khabib who's better on the feet but has a worse chin (and worse cardio, but still better than Conor's). I think Conor matches up with him slightly better but as I said, I think Lee trounces him and if I were Conor I wouldn't take that fight, I'd probably go for Poirier II or even Diaz III.
Diaz rematch, Poirier or Aldo rematch are good options I thinkWhat a winnable fight for him?
Exactly.This is basically saying if its not mma and just a stand up war he wins.....
This - I agree 100% with this!
"Prepared for a 5rnd war, if need be." Is what the Irish drunk fella claimedConor showed far better cardio then he has in the past. He was clearly in top shape
