LMAO Conor is the most protected fighter ever through matchmaking.
Let review his UFC resume
#30 Brimage: Striker
#67 Holloway: Striker
#30 Brandao: Striker/BJJ
#10 Poirier: Striker/BJJ
#19 Siver: Striker/BJJ | A Title Eliminator without facing a top 10!
Just look at that for a second: no wrestlers and he received a title eliminator fight against the #19 ranked Featherweight.
The problem was whole top 10's had wrestling backgrounds. #2 Edgar, #3 Mendes, and #5 Lamas all ranked above #7 McGregor with Lentz being at #9. What they all have in common? Wrestling backgrounds.
UFC tied them all up by fighting each other instead.
At 189 No camp Mendes (over ready Frankie) was an acceptable risk because all the money they dumped into promoting it and we see what happened when Mendes had energy.
Conor wants none of that again. Against a bigger better mendes.
He will NEVER fight Khabib. I've been saying this two years and havnt been proven wrong yet!
Matter a fact might as well book another year I'm right after he gets himself suspended.
