145 - beat every worthy challenger. Mollywhopped the former champ in 13 seconds, dominated the other guy fighting for the paper championship

155 - a division people thought was "stacked" is anything but; destroyed the former 155-lb champ, so-called top contender and horrible style matchup feigns illness at the thought of having to fight the GOAT, other so-called top contender has the head movement of a light pole and so no one even cares to see that fight

What do you guys think Conor should do next?

Forgot to mention he also clearly beat Nate, who is a natural 155er

I think Barbosa would tool Conor badly

Oh I disagree, in fact I have picked Conor to win in every instance he has done so, and fwiw, he has done so in mostly impressive fashion. But I see Barbosa as having the skill and ability to really mess Conor up with his style and speed. That said, a fight is a fight and McGregor has excellent power, accuracy and fight savvy.

I don't think so, Barboza does not fight as well moving backwards......imo

If he were to allow that then sure, I could see your point but...he could use that to chop down Conor's mobility and stay away....to be honest, I haven't watched enough of him to state my opinion with absolute authority but Barboza (thank you for the spelling :) has excellent fundamentals and punishing speed with those kicks. It's a difficult thing to prepare for.

I believe Conor is good but nate was a handful for him twice.......
There are still other match ups I'd like to see before I give up on the division

I think Ferguson needs to fight Vannata again, with the winner fighting Conor. I think Lando has at least a very good chance of winning that rematch, seeing as he worked Tony in their first, short-notice fight until he eventually gassed himself out.

There's also the third Nate fight, but it's not time for that fight yet

It's just my opinion and limited view of what I've seen or seem to remember

I would be interested in seeing how Conor handled those kicks because they will hurt

I don't care, but a belt needs to be defended. I don't care which one, where or how. Even if it's against my nan. I want a belt defended.

lol cmnh is cute.

IMO Conor has proven that not many guys are bad matchups for him. Even Khabib might very well get eaten alive on the feet. What is the real test and what slows down everybody's momentum is entering the meat grinder of the LW division fighting hungry contenders back-to-back-to-back which is a part that Conor is allowed to skip.

Barboza is one of my favorites of all time in mma and he would seriously threaten Conor with his kicks because Conor's stance is awful for checking kicks but his defense is not stellar and he can get KTFO at any moment too.
