He drops to #5 behind
#4 Edson Barboza
#3 Tony Ferguson
#2 Rafael Dos Anjos
#1 Khabib
C: Eddie Alvarez
I don't think he deserved a spot in the top 5 at all. He did beat Michael Johnson, but other than that, he hasn't done jack shit in a long time. He is 3-4 in his last seven with one of his wins being Gray Maynard and the other Conor.
It is clear the UFC gifted Nate the top 5 ranking based the fact that they need to make it seem like Conor had a fight with a legitimate top 5 lightweight. Nate is fringe top 10 at best IMO.
