If Nate wins I think he gets a title shot at 155, if Conor wins there's no way he goes back to FW and he gets a shot at 155. He vacates the belt and they make Holloway vs Aldo or Cruz goes up and faces Aldo.
As long as he's with Rousey I think he'll stay employed.Travis Browne is gon fight Werdum he's looking to get dropped by UFCthat would be 3 straight L's if he loses and I doubt this is going decision

With the arena not being filled and a possible back to back losing streak. I don't see Conor having much of a leg to stand on if Nate wins. Even if Conor wins his fan base isn't supporting him like they used to. So

That's a fair assumption but I think 2 more L's consecutively especially if they both don't go to decision will end his stint

Nate prolly gets an instant title shot at LW if he wins. Hearing that he was approaching 200 lbs made me wonder if he might try to stick at WW again, he chained a couple of wins before getting out wrestled last time (what he did to the Irish Hand Grenade was way worse than how he clowned Johnson)...but his best bet is 155 imo.
Conor losing, I'd still suspect he only goes down to 155. They'd need something to push him again, so I'd expect a fight against a tough but beatable 155'er (think Dunham or Pearson). Really though, I think the smartest play would be to take the opportunity to have a Euro card with Conor vs Duffy the rematch.
Conor wins, easily gets a LW title shot imo...or maybe RDA with all their trash talk. Beating Nate would give him drawing power again for sure, but hopefully it'll be the end of his 170 work.
Nate on that loss would probably be best served going back down to LW himself and taking on a top 10 guy to set him up a win or two away from Conor/Nate 3 at the actual proper weight and Dana praying that it's a title fight. Nate vs Poirier would be cool, or maybe throw him at Michael Chandler for a hype fight regardless of winner.

Do you know how flakey UFC fans are? if Conor beats nate with a full training camp it will trump their previous fight and the bandwagon will be in full swingWith the arena not being filled and a possible back to back losing streak. I don't see Conor having much of a leg to stand on if Nate wins. Even if Conor wins his fan base isn't supporting him like they used to. So
Ps grand master Dana just put the breaks on woodley's aspirations in calling his shot, his reason was "duty" so it looks like he's facing wonderboy next. That hendo/bisbing fight looks really bad now where is the duty for Romero or jacare

Flakey sure. But also its the prices that venue is costing bank to fight there. UFC prices are no joke in certain areas

According to Dana, Wonderboy is next for Woodley.
Wonderboy getting that belt.
Wonderboy getting that belt.
He's going to be HW Leonard Garcia. As long as he's piping Ronda they will never cut him

I think he's trying to down play what GSP just did. Enrolling himself into usadalmao, I remember when Michael Page fought Nashon, you said he couldn't deal with a wrestler in the UFC because he couldn't finish him
yet wonder fought a decision with Nashon yet you are confident he can deal with a much better wrestler
not only do you lack mma knowledge, you on some
lets take the ban bet, I got woodley
thompson look good against Hendricks who was off roids and looked slow against the roidless rory who obviously has low testerone and needs roids to even compete at this level, and now has his career ended by USADA lmao.

I don't know why people are so confident Stephen is going to win, Tyron is not gonna be an easy fight. I think Woodley retains.
