There was never a McGregor era, he was a temporary fad in the mma world. He came into the UFC with a loss to a Pro Boxer and a loss to a guy who fought athe 125lbs. He's a big talker and befriended those who ran Zuffa, in which they pushed him unlike no other UFC athlete, beside Rousey. He's lost to Nate by finish and only won a very controversial maj dec the second time.. in any sport, the third fight/match/event/game to settle the 1-1, would've happened already. But Conor has been allowed to pull his own strings because of the clout Zuffa gave him prior to the WME taking over.. and the WME is all about the circus act antics and WWF antics. Conor doesn't beat Nate at 155, doesn't beat Khabib, doesn't beat Barboza, doesn't beat Gillespie, doesn't beat Duffy, and doesn't beat Iaquinta either imo.. But I do think he beats Tony and then goes up to fight GSP or Woodley at 170. I think if the UFC wants to save the popularity of McGregor before he gets beat again and if they think Nate doesn't deserve a title fight at 155 as Conor's next fight, WME should just go ahead and put Nate and Conor 3, in a boxing ring in NY or Vegas on NYE.. with Nick vs Masvidal as the co-main, Cody vs Cub, DJ vs Edgar and Duffy vs Cruz. Conor gets beat by Nate, but it's only boxing, still makes a huge pay day, and he still has the 155 belt and can fight Tony to unify the belts on St Paddy's Day in Dublin, then end his career with a loss to Woodley or GSP in NY or Vegas.
