Conor has talked about 155 but never said he's move there without defending the belt. This is what Mendes is talking about, obviously.
And everyone knows that Conor fought the weakest version of Mendes possible, which is one reason why he didn't bail. Another is that if he did, Dana would lynch him the way he did Jones when he refused the Chael fight.
He has talked about going up and down in weight class, which Dana shut down.
Haha, I love it. Yeah, Conor's spies in TAM were feeding him information back that Mendes fighting shape was at an all time low.
There's no comparing the Jones situation with Conor. Jones refused to take the Sonnen fight because he was a different match-up stylistically. Conor had a knee injury that could have made pull out, rest up and wait for Aldo to heal. As for lynching him like Jones, what, he's going to express his disappointment in him.
Conor had the option of fighting Diaz or someone else at 155, and win, lose or draw, he still would have got his title shot against Aldo.
