10 UFC Fights That Could Soon Break Records

10. Conor McGregor Vs. Nate Diaz III

If the return of Conor McGregor has done one thing, it has reminded everyone just how big a draw the Irishman really is.

Bear in mind the fact that McGregor currently holds four of the top five most bought PPVs in UFC history. So, it should come as little surprise to hear that 'The Notorious' one's recent comeback at UFC 246 managed to crank up ESPN+'s subscription number from 6.6 million to 7.6 million paid subscribers.

The power of the Mac.

So, what is next for the fighter who is currently calling Welterweight his home?

Well, if Dana White has his heart set on breaking that PPV buys record, two fights stick out as possible contenders. We'll get to the other one later, but for now let's focus on another eye catching clash which could come to fruition soon enough.

A rubber match for the McGregor/Nate Diaz feud from a couple of years back.

Diaz shocked the world by choking out McGregor at UFC 196, before McGregor returned the favour and won via decision at UFC 202. Surely, they need to settle who's the better man once and for all?

Factor in the current situation - Conor seemingly being quite happy to stay at Welterweight for the time being until Khabib is back on the agenda - and this fight becomes a bit of a no-brainer, really.

Would White risk his cash cow suffering a defeat before he gets a chance to make that aforementioned Khabib/Conor rematch?

If he does, we could have another record breaker on our hands.
