With the IV rule I don't think he can make FW. He looked like Skeleton Conor at the weigh-ins.I wonder how things would of played out if Conor never got a TS vs Eddie at 155.
Imagine if he rematched Aldo and continued fighting at FW.

Umad. LmaoI think it all works out more or less the same.
When McGregor lost to Nate, a lot of people said (after the fight, because everyone thought he'd leg kick his way to an easy win) that it was a huge risky move for McGregor because losing to Nate would destroy his name value. People still say that to this day, and yet we know that it didn't destroy his name value at all. Even without the Nate rematch, Conor just keeps going, people keep paying to see him, and the UFC do what they can to keep him high in the rankings if not in title fights.
There's no way for him to lose value at this point, in the cage at least. Even his losses can be glossed over with "He doesn't lose, he learns", or "Yeah, but look how much money he made." There's nothing really at stake.
Aldo doesn’t pull out and neither does RDA.
July 2015 - Aldo
December 2015 - RDA (instead of Cowboy)
Summer 2016 - Floyd??
2017 - ??
He's small for 170 but not that smallIt's pretty stupid to think Conor wouldn't have had success against RDA or Aldo if it had happened when they were supposed to.
RDA is rugged but gets wobbled easy. Conor for sure could have won that fight. He might have been a big FW but he is a small WW. He had no business fighting there either.
He'd eventually have to fight the Eagle and I doubt things would go any different no matter when it happened. Aside from catching him early with a left, Nurg has his number just like he has everyone else's.
Conor is a Diaz level fighter. Beats 99% of the LWs... lolYea right
Conor beats 99% of these Lightweights, no doubt. Ferguson, Cowboy, Al, Barboza, etc. I don't see these guys troubling Conor. Tony could, but I'd still bet the farm on McGregor knocking him out. He already destroyed Alvarez. And we know he could beat Poirier and Diaz too, he did it in different weight classes.
He would have to win a fight.I wonder what Conor will have to do to redeem himself to a respectable state.

Wasn't the IV ban in place starting with the amended fight? And definitely during the Aldo fight. He looked much healthier against Aldo imo.With the IV rule I don't think he can make FW. He looked like Skeleton Conor at the weigh-ins.
If Aldo didn't pull out, he'd of fought an injured Conor and probably TKO'd him in the third round.Aldo doesn’t pull out and neither does RDA.
