My take: He is the biggest star who made the biggest stain on the UFC, so if he never fights an elite opponent again, (or any opponent again) then GOOD RIDDANCE.
That said, if he is going to fight again, I would appreciate him fighting SOMEONE OF NOTE.
He has a punchers chance in general, and whether in MMA or in boxing, I find one dimensional punchers to be worth watching sometimes.
As much as I find his ultra prima donna attention whoring way of life to be a true disgrace in the realm of real warriors, I was STOKED when he signed to fight Khabib.
I knew he was probably DOOMED, (as I wrote about it back then) but at least he was fighting a great opponent.
In the end, if a Conor vs Tony fight were to happen...................wouldn't most of y'all be stoked about it whether you hate Conor or not? ("hate" obviously being a hyperbolic term on Sherdog)
In spite of Conor's exceedingly gross fuck up lifestyle that smacks of nothing good for him as a fighter, Tony has a MAJOR problem with getting buzzed too easily... Yes, I know that Tony has GREAT recovery, and he does NOT cower from danger as he has gone into berserker mode right after getting hurt, but Conor has enough power to potentially be fight endingly successful early in the fight.
It would be FIREWORKS, (I would put my money on Tony via BLOOD) but I really do not see that fight ever happening.
I see Conor continuing to fade and fade away until he's shit broke, thus making him fight again, but by that time he'll be too mentally and physically wasted to have any success.
