Good fighter but very overrated by UFC/himself ala Chael. He really hasn't fought anyone with a name and he lost to a guy who didn't even make it into TUF. Look on his wiki page to see what kind of comp hes been facing. After Brando (assuming he wins) he needs to be matched up with a top 10 guy.(someone like Poirer or maybe Lamas)

^ This.

Conor is a charismatic and great (but overrated) fighter that has the potential to make some noise in the division. He hasn't really been tested though and will need to beat a top 5/10 fighter before we can call him legit. Conor is fighting a dangerous opponent in Brandao, so it will be interesting to see how he does this Saturday.

i dont THINK he's as good as he claims to be. However, he's perfect for the UFC to push. They dont have any real stars left and he can at least work the mic. I could see him being the type of guy that will bring in ratings/buys.

He's obviously pretty talented (especially on the feet) but I can't call him legit until he faces a good wrestler. The UFC might not want to make the matchup, but a fight against a Lentz or Guida type would be a great test for him.

you can tell in the pre-fight scrum something is up. Someone that flaps his gums as loud as connor does usually get the hotshot treatment so for dana of all ppl to be like :whoa: "lets see him beat brandao, then a top 10 then a top 5" leads me to believe either they know something we dont or they want to bisbing him
