I disagree with other commenters on here who think that Conor doesn't want to fight Tyron because Conor avoids fighters who are bad match-ups. Khabib was the worst match-up, but Conor wanted to fight him, and even campaigned for fighting him in Russia. Conor wanted that belt. Conor hasn't put Tyron on his bucket list because he's just not motivated to fight a WW who's not a belt holder. Masvidal is the BMF holder, and he beat and that at least means a little something to Conor. Usman has the WW belt. Conor is also motivated by getting another chance at fighting someone who beat him, so therefore the Khabib and the Floyd fight would motivate Conor. So this is why I don't see Conor fighting Tyron or Gaetje next. He'll fight either Khabib (if Khabib loses to Tony, that doesn't matter, but if Khabib wins, even better), Tony (if Tony beats Khabib), Kamaru, or Floyd.
