I think the Conor/Nate fight might look like the Anderson/Forrest fight. Here's why:

[submerged88]

Forrest was a slight underdog but there were a lot of people and mma pundits picking him to beat Anderson. Forrest's book came out shortly before the Anderson fight and if you read it, you''d know that Forrest is self deprecating but the guy had the utmost confidence he could beat anyone at any time cause he worked harder than anyone in the gym. Forrest thought he was going to beat Anderson and that's why he was so crushed when he realized no amount of hard work would overcome Andersons superior skills.
