If Conor McGregor makes sudden comeback who should he fight next?

[Edmond's Accountant]

>Anderson Silva is too old


Actually it was the UFC who said Conor was too much of a manlet for Silva lol. Like legit said Anderson is too big for him.

O/T but I'm really shipping Gus and Ronda as a couple here.

hehe you really think Poirier is the same guy he was almost 7 years ago when that fight happened? come on he is way better at LW and might be the current best boxer at LW.

can agree with your Charles Oliveira take

Ferguson is still a big name and ranked high

Didn't Nate got dominated by masvidal? it was 3-0 before Masvidal TKO'd him. it was one way traffic and if you think Nate has something for Masvidal I have bad news for you. Conor fights so rarely anyway I don't want to see him fight the same guy three times.

It just makes no sense for Conor to rematch guys he has aldready beaten when he has the power to chose anyone at anytime at anyweight.
He wants to raise the bar with every fight and thats why everyone loves the guy.

Cerrone fight was really "raising the bar"

Cerrone fight was really "raising the bar"

Arguably even more impressive performance than against Alvarez for 155 Belt which experts like Chael Sonnen say is the best performance of all time.
Some casuals even thought the fight was fixed because Conor looked too good to be true.

I wish he would beat you up.

TS might be Conor.

Thankfully Cornrow had mercy on Diaz.

Conor vs Platinum for the interim BMF belt

After seeing the stunning performance Conor had in his 170 lbs fight against Cowboy Cerrone in UFC 246 its quaranteed his comeback fight is gonna be something special.
There are few options Ive heard frequently mentioned:

Khabib rematch if he gets a win against Gathje. They need to run it back at some point.
Anderson Silva at 176 lbs Catchweight. Both fighters agreed but UFC refused saying Silva is too old for that.
Floyd Mayweather rematch but this time in MMA. Conor would keep it standing to prove a point.

It doesnt really matter who Conor fights its still gonna do great numbers but those could break the PPV record.

Why do Khabib and Conor need to run it back at some point? lol

Next fight should be against Diamond but Conor has no interest in fighting a surging contender so maybe T-Ferg...

They have unfinished business and fans deserve to see this fight with both men healthy and sober.

 

[Reffson]

Who doesn't beat Cerrone these days?

Conor is probably a fringe top 10 lw at this point.

Pettis did not beat Cerrone. Gift decision.

 

[surgeyou1]

Fuck him the UFC and world in general is better with out that stain.

I miss him too bud

 

[Reffson]

If Khabib bows out of a fight with Justin, Conor should step in. If Khabib/Justin happens I'd like to see Conor vs. Jorge.

Cejudo at welter weight.

a shoulder kick wasnt stuning at all. conor didnt retire he doing this cause he a diva. conor vs khabib will happen an everyone will be laughing all the way to the bank.

conor was never fighting without a live gate dana even said so.

a tweet from conor to anderson silva also ment nothing. conor tweeted about 25 guys who he never fought.

 

[generalyum]

This fight would definitely not happen but it'd be cool to see him vs. Oliveira. High likelihood Do Bronx gets starched but it'd be entertaining to see the fight if it hit the ground

 

[snackgod]

Poirier would be a good fight for Conor, high ranked and very winnable

for dustin not conor.

 

[snackgod]

1) Poirier had nothing for Conor in their first fight the only way he might take that is if Dustin somehow won a belt.
2) Nowhere near popular enough and has no history with him at all. Thats wasted time of his prime years and I like Charles.
3) Just got dominated by Gathje. There is nothing to gain for Conor everyone would downplay that win no matter how flawless his performance is.

if Nate beats masvidal in their rematch then he might get some hype back and Conor might get interested.

conor added dustin to his growing list of fighters he wont fight. dustin name went after he put jorge name on that list 2

 

[snackgod]

He will fight Khabib next unless Khabib loses to Justin, which is unlikely.

Ali, Dana and Conor will not miss out on that opportunity.

conor vs khabib 2 with out a belt is jsut as big as for the belt. to be honest no blet works better for the ufc cause khabib said he only gone figh a couple mroe times an im sure hafter conor loses again he fake retire again.

 

[Conor_Is_Overrated]

Makhachev, Gillespie, Ferreira, something like that...
Oliveira though, Conor doesn't deserve him at this point.

 

[Istryker]

Mcgreor-Masvidal would make so much money
