Do you think Tony finishes Conor quickly or do you think he toys with him?

Do you think Tony just gets the job and finishes Conor in the 1st or 2nd, In an attempt to show off the skill gap?

Or do you think Tony drags it out like an exhibition, beating on and pushing Conor around like a small boy for 4-5 rounds, before deciding to finish him?

Do you see Tony forcing Conor to get up on his feet, when Conor drops due to being outstuck and blaming it on cardio?
 
Tony may never fight him if he has to defend the interm belt first
 
Tony probably gets caught with some shots but dosen't go out because he is from the same breed of cement head as Nate. He eventually tags Conor, puts him down, subs him or elbows him to death.
 
He will be careful early I think, as he knows Conors hands are dangerous.

I think he will use a lot of kicks and then immediately utilize his wrestling to wear on Conor.

He probably sinks in a nasty choke of some sort around the 3rd or 4th round.
 
I like to see Tony toy with Connor....in the cage and then win the fight, get your head out of the gutters boys.
 
Im not a fan of conor. But

No one should "toy" with him. And certainly not when it comes to fighting for the belt.
 
Please realize that he beat and basically outworked RDA at 7,000 feet. The guy that did that will beat the brakes off some 8-minute hero like McGregor.

Conor beats Cuckuy pretty much everywhere.
 
Tony going for a quick finish would be Conor's dream scenario, and would likely end in Tony being brutally stooped.

Tony's path to victory is in the later rounds.
 
Will be similar to the Lando fight, but with a finish for Conor.
 
Tony is a very cool fighter, but he won't make it out of the second round vs eagle boy!
 
Unlike Anderson Silva, who could KO someone from anywhere, all Conor has is a straight left. It's not going to take long for top fighters to figure out how to avoid that. It's all downhill for Conor from here on out.

I see Ferguson choking him out like Nate Diaz did rather than toying with him.
 
Tony Ferguson gets laid the fuck out in the second and im being generous only cause his shot chin has god level recovery.

Butchered second round, probably by submission (verbal tap to strikes)
 
IF the fight ever happens then I expect Tony to embarrass Conor, he is way too creative and crafty in the striking for Conor and Conor will be exhausted after a few minutes with a guy like Tony. Tony will probably drop him and choke him out, Conor will be gassed to death quickly with a intense guy like Tony. Submission choke round 2

I think Conor puts him to sleep but Tony is an awesome fighter who has faced many high level strikers and not only lived to tell the tale, but came out victorious. Very intriguing matchup but Conor is underated in the LW division, he'll drop Tony repeatedly while avoiding his guard, then finish him for good in the second.
 
Ground game - Tony
Chin- Tony (Diaz like)
Cardio- Tony
Striking- Conor

It'll be similar to Diaz Conor 1. Early success for Conor , he'll definitely drop Tony until he gets gassed in R3 and Tony finishes him right there.
 
I love how the only possible outcome in the OP is Tony winning.
