I nailed it in one of my threads. And the scenario the ufc is visualizing is this:
If Conor beats Nate, they´ll let him have a shot at WW first.
Forget about the Aldo fight...
if he loses to the WW champ (which he would), he´s gonna ask for the trilogy with Nate.
The ufc will bend over backwards to accomodate him.
He fights Diaz for the trilogy.... hardcore fans complain, nutthuggers love it.... everyone will watch.
Forget about the Aldo fight...
he gets a crack at the LW champion now, cause it wouldn´t make sense another shot at the WW division, unless of course the first fight with the WW champ was a crazy war or a controversial split decision, then the ufc would give him an immediate rematch against the WW champ including another world tour to promote Conor "it´s all about the movement" Mc Gregor and the "other guy"... even better plans for the ufc.... the triology with Nate would come after that....
forget about the Aldo fight....
Suppose all the ufc plans go right and he beats the LW champ this time, the ufc will eternalize his name as the goat living god to ever walk the earth and they´ll write poems about him....
Oh, and forget about the Aldo fight.
