What were the UFC and Conor's plans if he had won the fight against Nate?

[sirmorbach]

Whether you love Conor or hate him, there's no denying: he's a huge draw and the UFC would had probably seen his victory as a good thing for the company.

Surprise, surprise, Nate spoiled the party. But what would have happened if Conor had won? There's a lot of possibilities out there. He could have fought RDA for the lightweight belt as he was first expected to do. He could have called Robbie Lawler out. Rumours were saying calling GSP out was a possibility as well.

Is there anything you guys see as a most plausible outcome for a scenario in which Conor had the win?

They were going to let Robbie slaughter him. Would have been awesome to see.

Nate one, bro.

Conor vs GSP. Then they both retire.

This place would be a fucking cesspool if Conor won, with many 2016 Conor a join dates acting like know-it-alls. Glad Conor lost and hypetrain derailed.

Sherdog is normal again til Conor wins once more.

Yeah, it had to be Robbie, or GSP. Both guys would have ended him. No judges required.

Hey, I'm a Connor fan. The dude's possibilities would have been endless. And before I get "hate" responses, let me be clear why I like the guy....he reminds of bj penn. The dude wants to fight anyone and everyone to test his mettle. Not many fighters do nowadays. I can see why people dislike his persona, but they shouldnt question the size of his ballsack.

Sherdoggers have done nothing but talk about Conor's loss since the fight. McGregor haters like you are spamming the forums with "lol conor lost" posts pretty much every hour of the day.

So not really sure what you are talking about when you say the forums are less like a cesspool.

GSP retires. Conor could very well be in the cemetery.

GSP putting someone in the cemetery. That's funny.

I'm glad that Robbie fight isn't a real possibility anymore. I like Conor, but even before this I was saying he likely gets flattened unless he's willing to change it up and dance for 5 rounds. Even then, it would be mostly luck if he survived.
