When Conor beats Diaz at 170 should he fight Lawler at UFC 200?

[RockstarChris]

I have heard rumors that Conor might just skip RDA for now and fight Lawler at UFC 200 after he beats Nate Diaz. What say you Sherdoggies?

 

[barillas]

Both at the same night.
If RDA is not available this fight will surely happen at UFC 200.

A win over someone who's not ranked in that division and not had a training camp does not a contender make.

 

[GordaoPreguico]

No because Nate isn't a ww. He fought there briefly and quickly came back to his proper weight class.

He hasn't fought anyone at lightweight either.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Frankie is just going to be left chasing the carrot

 

[MaulingMyClown]

When is he actually gonna defend his belt. I'm all for the guy fighting all the way up to Werdum if he wants, but my problem with him is he needs to defend the belt or give it up or get stripped. It's no different to me then champions (cough cough Velasquez cough) that constantly get hurt and aren't able to defend.

 

[ProfessorGanja]

Thia isn;t about eearning contendership. Its about getting Conor more belts and he beats lalwer imo

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

This is not a 170 to be honest - Mcgregor just did not want to cut so he said 170.

 

[waldywaldy]

if

 

[camelfarmer1]

Yes please I want to see him hit lawler and lawler to smile and keep walking forward.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

cannot see it happening (at UFC 200 anyway)

 

[GoldenAzazel]

he should fight Edgar at UFC 200 and if he can't then he should fight RDA.

Nate has 5 WW fights in the ufc.

Conor has what.. 7 total?

 

[leatherneck]

"ridiculous" should have been an option.

 

[NILLI]

Maybe he should defend his lucky belt for a change?

 

[DocK]

Depends if RDA's vagina has healed up.

He just fought on Dec. 20th. Only 2 months ago. Nobody, especially a pro athlete is going to get out of shape in just 8 weeks. Do you really think he just sits around and does nothing? If he fought a year ago, then sure, but he just fought.

 

[bigconan]

He hasn't fought anyone at lightweight either.

He is the former Cage Warriors LW champ, and has had many fights at LW. Yes, a world does exist outside of the ufc. Believe it or not.

Dude, he just won the fw belt, in what, November? It's only been a few months. some guys only defend 1x - 2x per year. Plus, he can do whatever he wants. If that is not understood by now.
