Sivers spinning back kick is legit as hell. If he lands it he could finish the fight.
The problem with Siver, and the back kick in general, is that it works against opponents defensively when they charge straight in, or offensively when they back straight up.
Connor McGregor has amazing footwork and moves laterally too well to be hit by a back kick. The only way I could see him landing it, is if he feigns injury and baits Connor to charge him.
Worst stylistic match-up for Connor will be Mendes. Even if you take his wrestling out of the picture. Mendes is able to give technical strikers fits because he rushes in and fights at close range, doesn't give you time to set-up counters, etc.
