I find it interesting that you mention no way Cowboy wins the LW title as if you think Conor will.

It's not a hard sell at all. The fans are behind Ceronne huge right now and he's a perfect B side to this fight. If you look at the top 15 LWs there are very few fights that will sell as much as this one. The only other reasonable matchups for Conor that are likely to sell as well are Justin Gaethje or Nate Diaz.
On the other hand, if you are interested in burying Conor with another (likely dominant) loss then we can add Khabib, Ferguson, GSP, and Holloway to the list.
