What ranked lightweight can Conor confidently beat?

I just don't see it... Conor looked awful against Poirier, I'm not even talking about the leg break, he was losing in any aspect of martial arts, BADLY.
I can see any of these guys being a tough fight for Conor.

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

I think he has an okay chance of beating Benny D, RDA, and Ferguson, but I wouldn't put money on him against any of them.
 
I think Tony's best days are also behind him , I don’t mind his chances in that one
 
Conor can't cut to 155 anymore, confidently or not.

If he hypothetically could, even Tony would be a major problem at this point. Conor is not taking his rehab seriously - he's way behind schedule and doing everything he can to make his rehab harder even if you exclude the massive weight gain - and will have one bad leg for a long time to come. He's not a takedown threat at all, nor a threat to do anything if he ever got a takedown. No footwork, no kicking, no takedown, no win. Conor can't just sit back and counter-punch when the footwork gap will leave him out of position just about every time. Tony beats Conor 8+ out of 10.
 
Tony maybe. I’d hope Ferg would take it very serious though and drown Conrat in the Championship rds.

Conor just fought Dustin at 155 though....twice.
 
I’d favor him over Tony at this point and probably CDF since he likes to brawl. He’d have a big size advantage over Gillespie could possibly bolt him in the first or early 2nd round. RDA would be a toss up. Everyone else i think has a decent grappling advantage or the cardio/chin to outlast him
 
He can lose to guys behind him at this stage but hooker is easy money and I dont know if Mike could keep McGregor down so styles wise , I'd actually favor Conor over Chandler .

Ferguson is a zombie so I see him getting bloodied but if he survives and gets the mctap to the ground - uh oh.

Dustin a fucking stud so hard to guage how much Conor has fallen.
 
The only reason I'll say Dan hooker is bc he doesn't move his head at all whatsoever. But his chin would probably gas Conor out, and Dan throws leg kicks lol. And although it's sad to say but probably Tony cause he's so fuckin slow now
 
Conor is now a welterweight.

RDA beats him, the leg kicks fuck up conor and his guard too tight and chin too good and conor always fights 5 rounders. Tony can probably take him to r3, 4 and 5, who knows what happens there. Hooker stays at range and kicks conor.
 
He is one left hand away from beating any or all of them it all depents on how motivated he is and how his leg works now
 
Confidently? None. And the UFC won't risk giving him a fight against someone ranked 5-10 because they know if he loses the cash cow is done. They are gonna go all in.
