Is this McGregor / Cowboy 2? Conor vs faded action star in a bounce-back fight. Lawler wouldn't be nervous about the spotlight, and I don't think he'd lose via shoulder strikes, but it still feels like Mac-centric matchmaking. I can't pick Lawler against most people these days, but I'll always watch him fight and of course I'd tune in for this.

Hendricks and MacDonald were never the same after their wars with Lawler, and Conor is at his best in open stance matchups. Plus I think it was the raw hand speed of Woodley that gave Lawler problems, which wasn’t really prime Conor’s game. I’d give 2016 Conor a chance 5% chance of getting Lawler out of there in the 1st round, and a 95% chance of Lawler permanently shortening Conor’s career with a brutal, prolonged beating if it got out of the first. Not all that interested in it now though bc I don’t want to live in a world where Conor has a win over Lawler, which I think is the more likely outcome next year.

Appreciate these little things while we wait for the big projects

Personally I think Conor's potential next opponents are either Chandler or Tony (both at 170). But I haven't thought about Lawler! Would be an easy sell @ 170 and close to a "tune-up" for Conor, god knows he needs it after that leg break. Hopefully it gets made sooner rather than later
