Idk if Paulie loses to Conor. I expect when this sparring video gets released it'll be more competitive then Conor + Dana said. And lets not forget Paulie was out of shape + going 12 rounds out of shape when thats unheard of for sparring.
I think its a viable option for Conor & perhaps even the best one as I love Tony Ferguson's & Kevin Lee's (who's trained by Dewey Cooper from Floyd's gym & has sparred with Floyd) chances to beat Conor & I have zero doubt they will if they get Conor down as they are both f#cking killers on the ground & are fighting for the interim belt Conor holds & thus will fight him next unless Dana throws together a Conor vs Diaz III fight real quick. That fight is Oct. 7 so if Conor wants to avoid either of those guys & go for his MMA fight vs Diaz or someone else they need to line it up before Ferguson vs Lee as I suspect they will unless Conor decides to box again.
I think the move for Conor is lining up Diaz in the next couple weeks for December, fighting Paulie in the ring in the first quarter of 2018 & the flipping back to MMA to probably get merked vs Ferguson or Lee. The Conor reign is coming to a close, but he should be able to maximize his upside & while he may not be a title holder in the UFC much longer he'll still have good options for a long time to come that'll surpass most guys + in the ring options if he can actually beat Paulie. If he fights & loses to Paulie I think his boxing career would be over doe.
