justin is pretty much the bisping of LW so i could see it. then he'll spit shine the belt and hand it over to conor

Even with Conor swelling up (and hopefully not slowing down?) I don't see him doing much against the top 5 at LW. Honestly, I'd actually pay to see Conor vs Holloway 2 (rather than stream it for free.) - The Diaz fight also makes sense, since neither are really going to be title contenders (not money contenders; actual contenders) again. The talk about him fighting at WW is insane.. like.. I get it, Royce was amazing, it's possible, but in this day and age with all the advancements in training, that advantage Conor would be giving up, even more so when he can't compete in the LW, is just non nonsensical at WW.
But, people will watch so Conor will get what Conor wants; I wouldn't be surprised to see the interim belt defended before the actual one. But I have a feeling Conor couldn't take a fourth of the shots Ferguson did (I would insert that clip of Khabib catching him, but I'm sure you can picture it.)
