Just reread this. I see your argument, but I was referencing Conor being booked against RDA, not Alvarez. When Conor was booked against RDA the LW title picture was a bit murky.Thats nonsense from a Conor fan. Ferg and Khabib were ready and on 8-0 LW streaks (records at the time which they both broke since) until Connie stepped over them after 1-1 to LW gatekeep diaz who never beats elite fighters. Not only that eddie stepped over them as well. Khabib was injured for RDA Eddie fight but Tony was not.
Once RDA pulled out and Conor went off on his Nate tangent there was never going to be a person to get a LW shot before Conor. Public interest in him fighting for the LW title was way too high.
