The next in line is probably Tony Ferguson. I'm not sure I want to see McGregor vs Ferguson right now.
Kevin Lee is a great grappler but he's not on Khabib's level. He could threaten the takedown but Mac has learned his lesson to not underestimate the striking, plus Kevin would be stupid enough to stand and trade for the first round if he doesn't get the first takedown. His chin is questionable too, Ferguson and Barboza both rocked him pretty bad in their fights. I'd say second round KO for Conor.
Gaethje is probably a win away from contention.
IMO most likely to happen is McGregor vs Poirier 2. Although Poirier got starched in their first fight, the man has been able to build himself up and has gotten solid solid wins.
He got KO'd by Johnson a few fights ago and looked wobbly against Gaethje several times.
I'm not sure his chin could withstand the shots.
That's the next fight for Conor.
