8 Possible Opponents For Conor McGregor At UFC 200

6. Anthony Pettis

Shortly after Conor McGregor made it clear that he was planning on moving up to lightweight, Anthony Pettis warned him not to do so, saying that "155 is a totally different world." McGregor then dismissed the former lightweight champ's comments by saying "he's back on the Fight Pass events." Pettis has wanted a fight with McGregor ever since their little public exchange, and he could very well get it this July at UFC 200. Both men are some of the best and most creative strikers in mixed-martial-arts. So a fight between the two, especially if they both made a decision to keep it standing, would be a thing of beauty. Pettis has flirted with the idea of dropping from lightweight down to featherweight in the past, and a featherweight title fight against Conor McGregor would likely convince him to finally move down to 145 pounds.
