Hyperbole.
Conor can obviously fight - and for belts.
But Eddie has been unimpressed since before the Diaz fight, so I get why he's exaggerating. He has a solid enough boxing/wrestling game to punish Conor if he can implement it, so he's comfortable downplaying the guy's skillset.
Added to that, it's his weight class now, and Conor was talking before like he could own it. Might as well make a play for a fight with him down the road. You never know what's going to happen, and a Conor fight can bring in the cash.
