Who Deserves a shot at The Irish King Conor McGregor?

UFC Lightweight Championship Fight

McGregor, MMA, UFc

While Conor McGregor has been MIA in the world Of MMA the UFC has not been with out some killer performances at the lightweight division. Which has the million dollar question on everyone’s mind who gets the chance at becoming the king of North. While many fighters come to mind I believe there is a select few that have the opportunity whether it’s because of skill or publicity.

The first match up that comes to mind is the current interim lightweight champion Tony “El Cucuy” Ferguson. With his active 11 fight win streak and very dominant performances through the past year it makes you wonder if it’s his time to be the champion? Is there someone more deserving than Tony?

Now when it comes to just a straight money fight and a fan favorite there is no question that Mr.Stockton slap himself Nate Diaz is the man of the hour. You can argue that Nate vs Conor McGregor is just a waste of time but their second meeting in August 2016 remains the highest-selling pay-per-view in MMA history at an estimated 1.65 million buys (UFC doesn’t release official numbers), so there’s little need to explain why this fight appears to be the clubhouse leader.

My personal favorite, assuming the guy can make-weight, would be a match up between Khabib “The Eagle” Nurmagomedov’s and the notorious Khabib who is a two-time Combat Sambo World Champion, a wrestler, and Judo black belt with some serious ground and pound. Can Conor hold his own against the MMA Russian Beast?

While we patiently await the Return of the notorious Conor Mcgregor, the lightweight division has no intent of slowing down. One thing is for sure is that the Irish man has more than his hands full with the list contenders in front of him.
