Oliveira was game and didn't fold, congratulations and it's a deserved perseverance to success story from very difficult beginnings - but I think there are still question marks over him and was almost finished in the first ... IMO Chandler would be champ right now if he played it smarter after he had him hurt.
So, unfortunately perhaps, but Conor could likely be champion again by the end of the year.
He has a strong record of adjustment and victory in rematches, so he might very well win against Poirer in summer, meaning an autumn gifted title shot against Oliveira who is a reasonably good stylistic matchup for Conor.
If he was to become champion again it would be both amazing and totally insufferable at the same time.
