Conor naturally weighs 168 on a full stomach and is 5’8.
He is a small man, he is built for the lighter weights, 170 fighters would simply obliterate him. His best chance is to go back to 145, 155 has Khabib Tony and Barboza waiting for him.
Excuses
You realize he made 145 pounds one time right? One time.
He didn't fight at 145 and jump all the way to 170....as you made it seem.
He fought at lightweight and experimented.
Pettis. I thought we were on Pettis?Conor did. Beat Aldo then immediately jumped to 170 and lost 2x to Nate.
Conor has a gigantic frame for 5'9. If Mark Hunt, with a 72" reach frame, can fight at HW -- Conor, with a 74" reach frame, can dominate WW and even bigger guys. He just has to be willing to get a little less sexy than he is right now -- and that's pretty damned sexy.
Depending on how Max ages he might eventually get closeThe only real threat for a three division champion is GSP. That’s it.
He can't win at 155 anymore....you trying to get him killed at 170?...I thought you were his fan.If the weight cut for him is as so bad and hard (as implied in the Tony Robbins interview) why won’t he move to WW? He matches up pretty well there and (unpopular opinion) IMO he has a better chance to win the belt there then @LW.
Do you think he has a chance to become a three division world champion?

Show me one thread of one of his fans asking for 165 Conor? Last time that was brought up was to have Diaz and Porier make the debut in the weight class.I’ve never bitched for McGregor to move up to WW. Why would I, he’s obviously not big enough for WW.
But face it... His huggers want a whole new weight class invented just for him because he has no chance at LW, or WW. Talk about delusional entitlement. How is he going to be the champ in this fairy tale division when he literally is not good enough to be the champ in either LW, or WW?
It’s ridiculous nonsense.
7lb cut to WW.......lmfao. You have guys cutting 20+ lb to WW and having a massive frame advantage over Conor.Conor would love to do it. Conor walks around 80 kilos (177lbs) and he'd still be cutting a bit at '77'," said Roddy.

Nope
didn't you listen? He broke his foot and could only do half of his usual work load, so getting off the weight was harder.
