Conor is good but he was never that good. There are lightweights in bellator who would take him down and smash him. Conor was never that good, he is one dimensional and not well rounded very much at all. All he can do is use his boxing skills range distance speed, accuracy, but he has no ground game.
Somebody with no ground game doesn't get very far, I do believe eddie threw that fight with Conor because the eddie we know would of shot for a takedown. He would of used his wrestling if he really wanted to win.
He could barely even beat nate diaz, that just shows how Conor barely belongs in the top 10. That decision arguably could of went to him but it didn't because the judges love Conor. Conor's style only works back in the day when nobody knew how to counter it. These days anybody can beat Conor.
