Conor won by Flash KO, there is no discrediting his win. Aldo got Flash Ko'd before he could do anything. The only thing that we can deduct from this is that Conor has KO power and accuracy. Other then that it didn't really tell who has overall better skills, but it doesn't really matter if Aldo is more complete, he lost. Completeness means nothing next to results. Skillsets are important, but in chaotic environment of a fight anything can happen. I would love to see a rematch, but they will never meet again unless Aldo moves up. Conor shouldn't be fighting at 145 anyways, its really unsafe for him to do so. He looked so much healthier at 155.
Anyways, there has been a lot of talk about his next match-up. We have recently learned that there is a possibility that he will fight Khabib next, but I wouldn't write anything in stone. With all the debacle about Conor possibly taking a break, the indecisiveness of the UFC to declare who gets him next, I would not be surprised if at the very least, something about the decision will change.
So for right now, we have Tony Ferguson, which would be a great fight, but I don't think Tony has the name recognition that Conor wants. Khabib is building up his name and he definitely has fans now, so he would be a better sell. I don't see Conor going up to 170 to fight Tyron. I don't think it would be biggest fight despite the title ramifications. Plus its a very tough tough fight for Conor. Tyron is just as fast, way bigger, way stronger, and would be more durable then any of Conors current match-ups. I really hope so that he doesn't clog up the divisions anymore. Stay at 155 Conor and rack up some title defenses if you really want to be the goat. There is a clear clear reason that the 155 pound title has never defended more then 3 times, its because it is the most deep division in the sport. Not even a Conor fan, but if he could beat Khabib, Ferguson, and an Aldo rematch, it would be hard not to call him the best ever. That is a big fucking IF though.
Against who and where do you want to see Conor next?
