Cowboy vs Conor:
Why would you be confident in Conor at all? I don't think I can remember Cowboy ever being rocked by a head strike and while Diaz has a terrific chin, I think it's also safe to say Conor's power at higher weight classes isn't wrecking guys like it is at FW. Conor could definitely land a body kick like Pettis did and finish Cowboy, but other than that I'm not sure his path to victory. Cowboy has improved his offensive wrestling a TON, and would be the naturally bigger guy. I think at some point he'd get Conor to the mat. In fact I don't think it would take that long. And from there it's a mismatch.
I cannot imagine laying any kind of juice at all on Conor if this fight ever happened. Not that he couldn't win it, but could not favor him. No way. At + odds would be on Cowboy for sure.
