Part 5/8:

The Conor Factor: Out of the Race?
Timing and Marketability: Rogan proposes that Conor McGregor might need to take some time off, possibly with a high-profile fight against Nate Diaz in Dublin, Ireland, to rejuvenate his superstar status. This would position him outside the immediate title picture, allowing Oliveira, Poirier, Chandler, and Gachie to battle for the belt without Conor’s name complicating the rankings.
