Jesus, Conor is a natural lightweight- PERIOD.This was validated when another lightweight met him in the GON[ twice ]-at welterweight. Once he was strangled and the other couldve went either way.
At 155, don't care what anyone says - mcgregor will be tough to beat.On first Saturday in October we get to watch THEE best 2 155ers dust up and when the dust does clear, we see who s no.1.
Nate was not a lightweight that was fighting at welterweight. He's alrady fought 4 times in the UFC's WW division before the Conor fights and he's 3-1 in those fights (5-1 if you consider Conor fights) according to a lot of people... with his only loss coming from Rory Macdonald who's already beat the current champ.
At the UFC's WW Nate beat:
Rory Markham.
Marcus Davis.
Dong Hyun Kim. (not officially though. SD for DHK but almost all of the fans and media scored it for Nate)
Conor McGregor.
Conor McGregor again. (not officialy though. MD for Conor. But considerable amount of media and fans voted it for Nate)
Just because Conor beat Nate in the second fight (according to judges), he gets a lot of undeserved disrespect. The guy's 20-11 according to UFC but he's always fought top opponents.
Also, lightweights generally do fine in the WW division. Cerrone, Masvidal, RDA and even Nate did good there.
