As for whats next for Connor...man IDK. But he really has raised the bar for MMA. Simple gameplans, fantastic skill sets, great mental warfare, great execution under pressure, incredibly active, great at selling himself and the fights, great business sense.
We've seen elements of all these in different fighters, but no one has quite put them all together like he has. It really is quite special.
Hope the new wave of fighters that follow learn from this.
I think he might take some time off, and then we'll get Connor vs Nate 3 for the lightweight belt. UFC 209. Then he might go down and finally defend that 145 title - if Jose is still around it will be him, otherwise its Holloway. I think Khabib and Ferguson might have to wait a while.
