I appreciate conor's skill even if I think his latest behavior is bankrupt . But the dude is a fine martial artist. I thought maybe he'd be past his prime and can't beat top oppononents but with the way the LW picture has changed this year, I'm not so sure anymore. I think he can win an LW title again. Its funny how that shakes out. Before gaethje-tony, I thought tony would outpace him make conor tired, thought it would look like diaz-mcgregor 1. Tony gets lit up by gaethje for 4 and half rounds. Now tony may not be the same tony ever again.
Then I thought Dustin could beat Conor is a rematch having moving up to LW and his latest run minus khabib, than I saw dustin against hooker, someone he should have dusted away but got in a war. Conor has the precision that Hooker has, plus he's a better anti-grappler than hooker.
Then I thought gaethje could do it, but then I think about conor's karate stance and his angles that will throw Justin off. As much as Justin talks about distance control, conor is better at that. Conor is great at being there, than not being there
