I still think Connor would win but could be a good bout.

Connor was a slight favorite for a while and only a small underdog going into the fight if I remember correctly. I don't think people were undertaking McGregor and it was tough to tell what Aldo would look like after over a year out of the octagon. The way the fight ended we still don't know what Aldo's got, although we do know that McGregor had some world class timing and quickness.
