5 Must-See Fights For Conor McGregor After UFC 257

5. Tony Ferguson

While it might seem like decades ago at this point, we're not too far removed from the trio of Khabib Nurmagomedov, Tony Ferguson and Conor McGregor being the main guys in the 155lb division. All three were the hottest commodities at lightweight and a fight between any combination of them was tantalising for all MMA fans.

With Khabib retiring, we won't get to see the fight between him and Ferguson. However, with Ferguson and McGregor both coming off of losses, this might be the perfect opportunity for the UFC to make a bout between two of the most dangerous 155lbers to ever step foot inside the Octagon a reality.

Although it was nice to see that there was no animosity between McGregor and Poirier during the lead-up to their fight, it did seem like The Notorious perhaps lacked that spark due to the niceties. There will be none of that friendly behaviour with Ferguson, which might provide extra fuel for McGregor's motivation to get back to top form.
