I was walking to class, day-dreaming of the Nate v. Conor match up that was just dropped into our collective laps, when an even broader and more exciting prospect crossed my mind. As has become common place with McGregor, he and the general public have come to try and predict his trajectory should his insane-seeming predictions come true, so here are 3 steps to one of the most grandiose scenario we could see.
Step 1) McGregor wins against Nate Diaz & demands a shot at Lawler
Step 2) Faces Lawler and wins at UFC 200, which granted is incredibly unlikely but so is knocking out Jose Aldo in under 15 seconds with a back-skipping left hand
Step 3) Defends the Welterweight belt against Nick Diaz upon suspension return. Unlikely because of A. Silva loss, but wouldn't be the first time Diaz has been gifted a title shot and would be an absolutely huge draw.
Thoughts on the outcome of that fight or if the two will ever be matched up?
I think Diaz, being larger and in better condition might simply wear him down, but I am unsure how Conor's power transfers that high up the scale.
