What ranked lightweight can Conor confidently beat?

Conor can beat anyone at LW, but he can also lose to many too. Even if Conor isn’t the same fighter he still has a chance against anyone in the division. People like Justin are made for Conor, sloppy, brawler types. Chandler also. Conor looked fine against Poirer until the grappling exchanges but he was defending fine on the ground a lot of those shot hit forearm although form a judging point of view, not great.

Thing is with Conor he wasn’t as motivated and now add a broken leg on top of that how is he going to look? has he gotten that motivation back and if he has, will he be in peak condition and be able to perform?
 
Dude has broken his leg and has been out of training for a long time. You can't be too confident with any of them, because you can't be confident in how he will return. Doesn't mean he can't beat any of them though.

I think we are going to see the most motivated version of Conor up to date
 
Lol dude lost against ranked 1 LW and casuals think everyone beats him thats just funny
Conor won every exchange in first round against dustin (second fight) and he lost bcs he didnt pay attention to leg kicks in thrid fight dude got his leg broken and no one knows what would happen in second round bcs chandler won first round 10-8 against oliveira and he got knocked out in second round so stop being casuals and shut up.

It's not who he lost to, it's the way he lost, it wasn't even a fight, looked like he didn't even belong in there

Chandler is short like Eddie Alvarez and he thinks too much, which opens himself up to Conor's mental warfare. RDA is old and he was losing to Conor's mind games when they were scheduled to fight. Hooker is broken from being in so many wars. Gillespie is tiny and was literally launched across the cage by Kevin Lee. Riddell is mediocre.

Conor’s mind games haven’t been an effective ploy in half a decade if not more

Nobody really beats anybody easily at 155 but conor has a path to beating all of those guys including oliveira.

You think Conor can beat Oliveira but you want your views on MMA taken seriously?

Come into the 2020’s bro, it’s great in here.
 
A better question might be how much would you bet on any opponent beating Conor? Outside of Khabib, I'd be betting very little. And Conor did better than most against Khabib, but is an awful style matchup for him. I don't see anyone of the current crop that Conor has no way of beating. Maybe Gaethje.
 
It's hard to know for sure given how Conor just fought Dustin twice. He has stuck around this long by beating top 10-15 range guys at WW so I guess he could do that at LW but it's hard to say because you really don't know how to take his last few fights and apply that to the lower ranked LWs.

So I'd say he should be favored against 11-15.
 
Likely none. Don't think too many on this forum understand that when fighters snap their leg in two they are never the same again. I don't know why people don't get that, because after all we've seen it happen repeatedly and it is always the same result. Yet threads like this get made ignoring that history... weird.
 
I'd say none solely off the fact that I would not feel nm comfortable beating on him against any of them.
 
Either past prime Ferguson or hooker. (And not both)
 
He's a washed up bum and he knows it. There's a reason he was trying to fight Diego Sanchez. And that was BEFORE the leg injury. He most likely wouldn't be able to beat Diego, tbh.
