If Conor fights again - why not say screw it and do Conor vs Colby?

[gotBooched]

Full transparency I completely despise both fighters but this makes sense.

* Similar size
* They play into each others weaknesses, Colby on the striking and Conor on the wrestling / clinch
* Would be some good beef during the promotional period but I dunno if Colby is down to get alpha'd
* Conor is looking for a fight apparently and Colby is down for his payday
* For Colby, this allows him to potentially take whatever bullshit brand he is trying to make to the next level
* For Conor, it's a safe fight. If he wins he is a world beater if he loses he can ejaculate himself right back to easy fights against his elders at 155.

Thoughts?

There is a zero percent chance that McGregor accepts that fight.

Conor when asked about Colby

There is a zero percent chance that McGregor accepts that fight.

Khabib is tougher IMO

What if Colby had the belt you think he would do it?

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Colby would smash conor to pieces

Conor doesn't have the same leverage advantage he had at 145 and 155 and colby is not a bottle job like cerrone

 

[SeattleFightFan]

None of those arguments are very compelling.

Assuming Conor could choose anyone he wanted, I imagine Colby would be about #30 on the list.

He's gunning for bigger challenges.... like Diego.<45>

 

[Vince Black]

Colby is bigger than him and a hell of a wrestler, conor is not so idiot.

 

[r-harper-1]

Good vs bad sells much better then bad vs Bad imo .... this fight isn’t happening

 

[faustian]

Lol you could clone 5 Conors and Colby runs through all of them in the same night

 

[Raffen]

No way Conor accepts that

If Colby had the belt the chance goes up significantly. But that's a big if.

 

[AmericanUppercut]

Fans would rather see other fights.
They probably don't want to fight each other.
That is why not.

There is no circumstance where Conor wants the Coby fight. Its a fight he has close to zero shot at winning and Colby is not even that big of a star

 

[King in the North]

There is literally no chance of that happening.

Colbie is a rough stylistic matchup and a relative nobody to McGregor. He’s not taking fights like that.

 

[mmacrisis]

only if loser has their mouth sewn shut for ever... other than that it is a waste of time.

 

[Strijfy]

Conor fights at anytime, anywhere , at any weight, .............................. unless its a full sized WW with great wrestling and endless gas tank.

 

[pinero]

I don't like Colby, but ..., come on, be serious, Conor has almost zero chances vs Colby

 

[Prelimtapper]

One of the worst matchups Conor could get

 

[whaleshark]

He should fight Nick Diaz for charity
