first off, conor doesn't have the ko power at LW like he did at FW....the only reason he was rocking or dropping guys at FW was because he was able to cut to that weight when the fact is he should've been at LW the whole time, he dwarfed the guys he fought at FW, only few were close but not the same size on fight night...basically conor beat up on smaller opponents, like a grade 8 student beating up grade 6 kids.
conor only beat a smaller, easy opponent in eddie to get his lw belt in the first place, there are many guys at lw that would most certainty have a chance at beating conor....because conor is fighting guys his own size he doesn't have the ko power that he displayed at fw when he was out weighing his opponents on fight night by quite abit.
kahbib ate his punches no problem without being phased, someone like tony who has a more diverse and better striking game, plus can execute subs would give conor problems....sorry bud but conor isn't going to walk through the lw division unless the the ufc cherry pick all his fights and give him tailor made easy opponents just so he can look good again.
First off conor doesn't deserve any rematches with kahbib anytime soon, if anything he should have to get through at least 2 other next in line opponents before another title shot...that would mean getting past someone like tony ferguson, and maybe someone like kevin lee. Only time will tell how good conor will be at LW, as far as I'm concerned he's looked like shit, did good against eddie an easy smaller opponent, but struggled and lost by finish from kahbib and didn't look good in the stand up where he should've been better, it was kahbib that landed the better strikes.
