Will there be a rubber match? And what about his UFC Featherweight title?
If Conor somehow defeats Nate...

You only get one shot against Conor.

I see a trilogy if Conor wins. Both Conor and the UFC want to make the most money possible, and a career in MMA is over very quickly. Nate seems to enjoy money and will happily go along for the ride.

No. If Conor pulls this off, they'll pretend the first fight was a fluke and try to get the full hype show going again. RDA/GSP/Robbie/Anderson will be next.
Personally, FW is where I want to see him, but I guess he thinks the money is up in weight.

I think Conor takes it after studying the fight. Conor lost that fight because he accuracy was not great. I actually thought originally, the weight was the problem? i know longer think that. however experience at 170 was still a factor with this fight.
He likely gassed because he threw the kitchen sink at Diaz, but most of hes shots never connected with the face they hit the air in all directions.
If Conor can improve hes accuracy from 20 per cent to 80 per cent he wins.

I really hope Nate brings a belt to the UFC 200 press conference calling himself the FW champ.

Please no....
Don't think Nate need help but
Please baby Jesus, make Nate win.
This is 90% of the Sherdog train of thought.

My head tilts to Nate but there's something in my gut telling me Conor will tune him up.

They're only doing this out of redemption. I don't think they will be interested with the rubbermatch. They would probably say, this was suppose to be the result of the first fight (conor winning) only Conor underestimated Nate, wasn't efficient with his energy, burnt himself out in rnd 1...blah blah blah...he's the GOAT ever and proved it in the rematch and start calling out RDA & Lawler again...

Unless you whoop Conor's ass then Conor gets two shots...possibly three...or four.

Yeah..I think Conor fights a little smarter this time and if he can't finish Nate will at least get the decision. I'm not saying he only lost the first time because he gassed but he did gas and had a lot to do with it.

I agree. Conor demonstrated exceptional cardio in his Cali university sports performance analysis. But fighting at such a tempo is a different task to having your heart rate monitored on a treadmill. With the neccessary adjustments Conor can get back on the horse but I'd like to hear less of the welterweight talk because it isn't feasible. He has an incredible skill set but he is a human being at the end of the day.
