I still don’t get how Conor gets hate for taking this fight.
He was on his way to the LW title and RDA pulled out. Conor could have sat out and waited. He took on a short notice fight against a bjj black belt that was tied with Maia for 2nd most UFC subs. This fight took place two weight classes above his previous fight. Nate has really only had issues with leg kickers, and cardio wrestlers in the past. Conor is neither of those. Nate is a good southpaw boxer with an iron chin, ridiculous cardio, and very good subs.
It was a dangerous fight and it showed come fight night.
If anybody not named Conor took this fight they would have been praised for it.
