If Conor wins, does he stay at 170 to fight Lawlor at 200?

[FrankieNYC]

How wild would it be to be a two-belt holder that skips a division?

* Lawler I meant

 

['Rocky']

He should be fighting at 170, anyway. Also, he won't be a two-belt holder. Since the guy holding the other belt shattered his foot.

Right... against a 6'2", 190lb walking-weight Condit.

 

[raconnor]

i am very convinced that's the plan here. assuming he starches diaz without much damage, lawler/conor at ufc 200 is a big match.

they already have wonderboy/rory on the back burner in case someone gets injured

Here is Conor McGregor, standing next to the greatest Welterweight in MMA history. GTFO.

I thought Tom was fighting at 205?

 

[Aerose91]

If he does he should have to relinquish his 145 belt. No sense in holding up a division that he wouldn't be returning to

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

That would really be something.

I agree with this.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Now he's fighting Filthy Tom at a 200 catchweight? What a legend.

 

[Angle Shooter]

Hell no.

Well depending on RDA's recovery I wouldn't put it past the UFC to something stupid like this.
But on the face of things beating Nate Diaz @ 170 doesn't earn you a title shot @ 170. What the fuck people have lost it.
