This path makes the most sense. Conor should be granted shots at both belts. Max rematch is huge and whether Conor wins or loses it doesn’t obstruct him getting another LW title shot. My prediction is Conor fights Max in the fall and GSP for the LW belt in 2019. Can’t wait for the Notorious one to return!

Only if Max will go up to LW

Conor won't make 145 again. He looks like he is having TRT Cheerios for breakfast
 
I don't think he'll ever make that weight again. Too bad. He would whoop Max even worse again.

I would accept that as well. The key is to not throw off a narrative that grants Conor his future LW shot vs GSP or Khabib.
 
Conor for health reasons is never going to fight at 145 again.

He wants his kidneys to work for as long as they can.

Then let’s rematch Holloway at 155, winner gets a LW title shot. Thoughts?
 
I want him to fight for both belts he vacated. Max is a winnable fight as is Khabib.

Vacated my ass the b!tch was stripped for not defending 2X

So he can hold on to them for another 2 years before the UFC takes them away from him if he wins?

Conor doesn't deserve shit after not having defended either belt and stalling the division.

Anyway, Holloway, Khabib and GSP all whoop Conor if he does come back.

I think the 145 belt option is gone. This ship has sailed away.

But - I see a good chance of him getting the 155 belt back and going for the 170 title.

170 will be very tough for him due to size difference, but as much as I don't like him as a persona I do agree he is a very skilled fighter. He might do it. And it would certainly place him high in the GOAT rank.

No matter what - Conor vs. Khabib is the fight I'd love to see

I want to pay and find out!

That weight cut took years off his life. Absolutely brutal. Trust me, now that he has money he is NEVER going through that again.
