IF Mcgregor wins who should he fight next
Assuming he wins which title should he defend first and against who?
shareAssuming he wins which title should he defend first and against who?
shareOnly 3 possible options...
McGregor just became A legend and Superstar like we've never seen before tonight...
He's not going to look to defend the belts and fight number 1 contenders like other champs do...
now its about Superfights and the biggest possible fights.
IMO the most likely fight is GSP....
GSP wants to come back, and wants a superfight, Conor Vs GSP is simply the single biggest fight The UFC could ever put on...I'd bet thats what happens next.
the other most likely option is Conor Vs Diaz 3 at LW for the belt...thats a MASSIVE fight...their first 2 fights did record numbers, The trilogy would be even bigger considering how great the 2nd fight was and now that Conor is the LW Champ
The 3rd option is a long shot...But if the UFC tries to force Conor to give up the FW belt, Conor is gonna fight it and may even decide to fight at FW next so he can keep it...if that happens, Theres only one fight that makes sense and that Conor Vs Pettis...
Conor has absolutely no interest in fighting Aldo again, that fight simply is never going to happen again(even though Aldo deserves it)...Conor truly believes he'll beat him again, so he's not interested and He also believes Aldo would pull out again, Its also the least biggest fight Conor could take, Theres is just no movement or interest in An Aldo rematch, It would obviously do good because of Conor, but any other fight Conor takes against any other opponent would do better...
The Problem with Pettis vs Conor though is, Halloway is probably going to beat Pettis thus killing Pettis Vs Conor...If Halloway does win, Conor wouldn't be interested in Halloway either(He already beat him and Halloways not a big name)
So Conor Vs Pettis is An option but IMO a very unlikely option, a lot of things have happen for it to take place...
If Conor and The UFC insist on His next fight being at FW...Its either going to be Against Pettis or Not at all...
He's not fighting Aldo or Halloway, If Pettis beats Halloway I could see Conor going back down to defend his FW belt against a huge name like Pettis and An Exciting fighter like Pettis...

Conor just got called out hard by Khabib. If Conor fights at LW it'll be against him. I'm sure Conor is pissed off at being called a chicken and having Ireland dissed in the process.
Plus, Khabib just dismantled Johnson...I mean seriously he took that shot in the first then just destroyed Johnson. It's hard to take away, even with the time off, what Khbib has done. He's the highest ranked...plus he made a good point. Ireland 6 million Russia 105 million...who does the UFC PR machine want to impress more? lol
I doubt Conor is pissed at anything right now, but I agree that that's the fight to make. Casuals just got introduced to Nurmy in the best way, and they can push the undefeated angle.
It's either that or Diaz... Think it's safe to say Aldo doesn't get a shot unless he moves up...
==================
Sex with animals? There's no time, man!
Winning a belt has never meant you are a champion to me. I like to see at least once defense, I would hope he defends the belts or it would truly be a waste and devalue the belts.
I think Khabib has earned the shot.
145 belt will probably never be defended, which is a shame because Conor was quick to rematch after his loss to Diaz. Aldo deserves that chance.
