Conor is unique in the sense that he's beaten some of the best in division history (Aldo, Alvarez) as well as other top ranked killers like Poirier, Brandao, and Siver (who was ranked top 8 at the time). Yet have a loss to Nate Diaz who had been trashed throughout his career by any top 5 lightweight.
That brings the question, what guys ranked outside of the top 8 do you think would give Conor fits and trouble due to the style. Chiesa, Trinaldo, Hooker, Michael Johnson, Alex Hernandez (I'm listing them as an example of average/mid level fighters...not guys).
Sometimes the #15 guy can end up giving the champion more issues compared to the #2-6 guys
