This Is All About Cashing In On Conor's Viability Now.

Believe it or not, Nate is still a the better match up for Conor right now. This is it for Conor and the UFC brass's campaign with him as far as marketability here if he loses again.

If he wins (not likely still), his viability as a draw continues - which is good for UFC brass as well - which in theory will set him for even bigger name fights at 155. He loses, he's not dropping down to 145 again; he's gonna vacate and toil at 155, maybe winning some, but mostly losing against borderline top 10 to mid tier fighters. The latter most likely being the case, with Conor also realizing that, he will unceremoniously bow out of the UFC and maybe MMA altogether.

Which will come as no surprise considering that that was his plan was ALL ALONG. Hustle your way to the top, inevitably get exposed as he and we mostly expected, then retire from MMA with your tidy little nest egg.

He is, if nothing else, a hustler, and I guess the saying goes: Don't hate the player, hate the game.

No..,,,Edgar was easiest fight for McGregor.Ive seen Edgar get beaten like a cartoon by people with less power than Conor.
(When i say easiest fight,of the options that were available for conor at 200)

This is about conor knowing he can beat nate (which we all saw a window of) and that conor recognizes that he just needs to pace himself and work on his cardio with nate.
You imply that conor is a farce, propped up by the ufc and they are getting some last ditch moneysqueeze..... when hes proven himself against top 10 guys and destroyed them.

conor asked for this fight, and will more than likey win and the ufc knows it. They don't want him to lose.

I wish the fight was at 55 tho.

What happens when Conor losses again? (Probably more brutally than last time)

one last pay cheque

The McGregor era is over. Conor is too busy driving Dana's cars and taking pictures of himself in them to seriously train for this fight.

After Nate retires him, maybe he can get a gig as an actor - playing a munchkin in a shitty Wizard of Oz remake.

Conor is the bane of Frankie's present timeline and Aldo to a lesser extent since he rarely fights that much anyways. He's not getting any younger (Frankie). He's a legend already but I'd like to see him in a few more fights.

The hell w/ Conor for hijacking the FW div. Get your s*** kicked in by Nate again and get lost already.
