I think Ferguson would be a fun fight. He needs to relinquish the belt though.

His biggest fight will be trying to pull his head out of his ass.

Smarten up, crickets.

The hand picked opponents are done. Call out real champs, at real weights Conor. A career ending beatdown is exactly what will happen.

Call out Woodley. Call out GSP. Call out Bisping.

All three would beat him within an inch of his life.

And that is the hard fucking truth. And you all fucking know it.

Just like Eddie Hey? it's a fight, anything can happen and stranger things have.

Would I favour McGregor, no but it's not just skill and size it's also luck. Woodley won the fight from Wonderboy's stuff up in the 1st giving him a takedown. All it can take is a slip or a poke in the eye to change the momentum of a fight.
 
At 145: Aldo or Holloway, then Pettis or Yair.. Possibly Cruz, TJ or Cody if one of them wants to come up to 145 to fight Conor within the next year. Think he would lose a rematch to either Aldo or Holloway, close fight with Pettis, Yair and TJ but should win. Think Dom wins by UD, Cody wins by 2nd round TKO.

At 155: Khabib or Nate, then Ferguson or Barboza.. Possibly RDA, Melendez or Sage if he were to lose along the way. Think he loses to all I listed beside RDA and Sage. Think he and Barboza would be a close fight but Barboza doesn't have the chin imo.

At 170: Woodley or Wonderboy, then Lawler or GSP. Possibly Perry, Larkin or Cerrone if he were to lose but stay at 170. Think he gets beat by all I listed beside Perry. Think he and Cerrone would be close fight but not sure if Donald pulls it out.

Aldo: It's the rematch that needs to happen. Was an amazing moment, but can't help feeling we were robbed of an awesome fight. Been a year since he fought at FW, he needs to defend the title against Aldo and unify them.
Likelihood of next fight: 8/10
Likelihood of MG win: 7/10

Khabib: I think this is the fight that makes sense at LW, mainly due to Khabib's post fight speech. Casuals know of Khabib now and it's hard to argue with 24-0. Terribly stylistic matchup for Conor.
Likelihood of next fight: 4/10
Likelihood of MG win: 3/10

Ferguson: This is the most interesting fight to me. Ferguson has been on an absolute tear and 100% deserves a title shot, problem is he isn't a draw.
Likelihood of next fight: 2/10
Likelihood of MG win: 7/10

Woodley: No logical reason for this fight to happen. Would be huge for McGregor to challenge for a 3rd belt, but it would be underserved.
Likelihood of next fight: 3/10
Likelihood of MG win: 2/10

In short whoever McGregor fights next may be handpicked, but he's got a tough fight. Inb4 he fights Diaz.

Terrible maths
 
Fuck the 145 belt, I'd like to see him take a shot at Woodley. He would be a huge underdog imo, but who has ever been in this position before!?
 
Vacate FW. Leave Aldo and 145 behind. Conor has beaten the top two guys in the division right now. He can leave knowing he's retired from 145 as champ.

I don't think Woodley will happen. The guy is huge. Conor would be dwarfed by him, and Woodley is pretty athletic too. While this fight is a possibility I feel it's somewhat remote.

That leaves Ferguson and Khabib. I went with Ferg, due to his amazing win streak (yes, Khabib's is longer, but Ferg's last loss was almost a half decade and ten fights ago), being highly active, having a few stellar recent wins and also being something of a showman himself, I think this is the fight to make. Khabib is a very, very close second. Either guy getting the nod would be fine.

Agreed x's infinity. I also think they are holding this fight as an ace in the hole. Regardless of what you think it's a huge draw but these other fights and especially the Woodley fight will make more money right now and inevitably that's what this is all about in the end.

Agreed on Woodley as the next best option. It's the next rung up the ladder, especially since Conor keeps calling him a bitch. I think Tyrone will turn Conor to hamburger but I thought Aldo and Alvarez would do that too.

Can't argue any of that. I totally agree with your views on 55. The fight I want to see though is Woodley. This is probably going to be the only chance in UFC history to see a 3 weight champ if he could pull it off.
 
Aldo already has the interim FW belt, so let him play around with that while McGregor's doing historical feats and bringing in big $$$.
 
Woodley would be most fun, but Khabib would be most intriguing.
 
Damn this is a close poll. I thought Ferguson and Khabib would draw about the same but I also though WOodley would have much more support then this.
 
I want to see him fight MM for the belt at a catch weight of 165lbs. 3 division champ YEAH!
 
It has to be either Woodley or Ferguson. Khabib is not deserving conterder before he fight top 5 opponent.
 
Canelo.....















srsly tho, imo he fights khabib/cucuy winner.
 
I am sure by now everyone is settled on the winner Of ferguson and khabib.
 
Whichever is the easiest fight. He's facing killers now his own size. Pray for him.
