Nate is not a welterweight. He was Conor's welcome to the lightweight division.

Let's make that clear. I see too many posts about:

"What do you expect? He moved up two weightclasses."

The fight being at 170 was pure coincidence with the late injury. Nate is a LW. He has been for many years. Conor is LW sized. Neither guy cut weight, that is the only difference. No weight cut benefited both guys but there was not a sizable difference in mass.

This was basically Conors introduction to the top 10 of the lightweight division and he did so against a guy who had 10 days notice. Cut and dry.
