Before Khabib many people would go around saying Conor is ducking legit contenders like Ferguson and Khabib. Now ppl still say the same thing that if he fights Nate he'll be ducking Ferguson, Kevin Lee etc.
Ferguson, Lee, Khabib rematch are tough matches I agree. Especially Khabib as we saw. But Nate finished Conor in TWO rounds, not four like Khabib. Conor barely survived the rematch 3 rounds to two in a Majority decision.
Nate is not an easy fight for Conor. Easier than Khabib , yes. We don't know yet how he'll do against other top contenders. And don't start with the Bs narrative that Conor ko's Nate at 155. Nate won't be 155 inside the cage after rehydrating. If they fight at 155 Nate will be at least 170 inside the cage. Their first fight Nate came under the limit at 169 with no weight cut. A 155 fight will have Nate as the same size as he was at UFC 196 after 24 hour rehydration. He will NOT be 155 inside the cage if they fight at 155.
