Nate had a title shot against Bendo and he was thoroughly dominated. He is 2-2 in the division since that fight and is the division's #6 contender.
Khabib is 24-0, 8-0 in the UFC and the division's #1 contender.
Ferg is 12-1 in the UFC, on a 9 fight win streak and the division's #2 contender.
Nate should not even be in the title shot conversation over either Khabib or Ferg but he is the fighter that Conor's coaches are talking up as the next opponent. Do the math.
And saying that an undefeated fighter who is the #1 contender and on an 8 fight UFC win streak does not deserve a title shot is laughable.
