This is why we need Nate to win. If he loses, we get a rubber match and the 145 belt will get held up for even longer.
Nah man, if Conor wins, it'll be as if the first fight never even happened. Nate beating his ass on a weeks holiday notice will be completely erased from history and people will pump up this win as if he beat some top champion, instead of a perennial lightweight contender he already got beaten by after coming in on such short holiday notice he didn't even have time to lose the full weight. It's already gone from "Nate coming in on such short notice he didn't have time to train and lose the weight properly" to "Conor is such a warrior he decided to jump up two divisions to fight the massive, beastly Nate Diaz at 170".
That's the big bonus of having all these hyped up fans running around after you. Like the UFC version of Beliebers.
