8 Possible Opponents For Conor McGregor At UFC 200
7. Eddie Alvarez
While Eddie Alvarez may not be the most appealing opponent for Conor McGregor in terms of name-value, a fight between the two would almost certainly be an instant-classic. There's some bad-blood brewing between Alvarez and McGregor because of the UFC featherweight champ's behavior during the UFC 196 pre-fight press-conference, where McGregor slapped Nate Diaz's hand. Alvarez suggested that McGregor should be heavily fined for his behavior, while using some pretty abrasive words to describe "Mystic Mac's" actions. As of this moment, Eddie Alvarez is the number one contender for Rafael dos Anjos' lightweight championship. So maybe McGregor and Alvarez can get it on at UFC 200, with the winner getting a shot at RDA later this year.
