Aldo had a split decision against the previous contender... We can not compare the twoWho would've thought in 2020. Conor is in negotiations to fight a monster top 3 lightweight Justin G in the summer to earn his shot. And Aldo is being gifted a title shot vs Henry C lol.
Not to cape for Conor, but he was the last to hold the belt and never lost it. I look at more as a chance for Khabib to prove he's the actual champ than a gift to Conor. They really just inserted him where he was previously.Conor was literally given a title shot after being inactive for 2.5 years, and Dana wanted to give him a LW title shot after beating Cerrone @ WW.
Don't think you should be talking about undeserved title shots when it comes to Conor lol...

How many does Nate have?How many title defenses does conor have?
If he gets the 170 strap he doesn't need any title defenses to seal his legacy at the top of UFC lore.Title defenses?
Wont happenIf he gets the 170 strap he doesn't need any title defenses to seal his legacy at the top of UFC lore.
To be the real, legit champ..all you have to do is beat the champion fairly. Defending the title is just like winning the championship rds...people put a high value on it, but it doesn't actually mean anything more than you are still the champion. The same people that say Conor's FW title was bogus, because he didn't defend it or give Aldo a rematch, have no problem calling Khabib the champ after beating Al. You can't have it both ways.FTFY
Yes you can. Was Max Holloway not the legit FW champion because Conor never defended? Most people agree that you aren't a true Champion until you defend. Khabib didn't need to defend against Conor to be a true champion, just the number 1 contender. They made Conor #1 Contender and Khabib defended.To be the real, legit champ..all you have to do is beat the champion fairly.

I would love to see a 170 Conor vs a 135 Aldo just to see him beat the knockout record again.Aldo had a split decision against the previous contender... We can not compare the two
What I find interesting is that Conor is fighting at 170 and Aldo at 135
