Easy Way to settle the top of the Lightweight Division:

As much as I'd love to hate Conor, I agree. Tony is too fucking hittable. Tony at his absolute best would've gotten walloped by McGregor.

Anyway, give Gaethje the shot. He had 3 FOTY caliber fights upon entering the UFC. He has history with Dustin, and Oliveira vs Gaethje is just an all action fight. Islam vs Dariush, Chandler vs Ferg. McGregor can stay gone though. I dont care to see him in the cage anymore

Tony needs an easy fight, like someone unranked IMO
 
Islam vs Gaethje for next TS.
Daruish vs RDA, since both are coming off wins

Chander, Tony, Conor, and Hooker need to fight people ranked below themselves since they have lost more times than not in the past year. Pair these guys up with Arman/Gregor/winner of Riddell/Fiziev.

I'd be cool with Conor vs Chandler though. That would be a 1-2 round banger. Much higher chance of a finish since Conor's gas tank isn't like Gaethje's, thus it wouldn't go past the 2nd round imo.
 
Gaethe vs. Islam for the next title shot
Chandler vs. Dariush
Hooker vs. RDA
Tony Ferguson vs. Conor to get one of them back into title contention

If someone is injured, throw in the loser of Poirier-Oliveira.

Gaethe versus winner of Poirier Oliveira
Dariush vs Islam for second belt fight in line

There is no quick path for Conor to title contention . He is 1-3 versus top fighters (finished on all of his losses). Feed him to Hooker to see who moves up.
 
I meant Tony vs Hooker. Dunno why I said Chandler lol

I think Chandler should fight RDA, or Poirier if he loses to Oliveira

Tony should fight someone like Iaquinta or Haqparast, no one from the top 15
