8 Possible Opponents For Conor McGregor At UFC 200
2. Rafael Dos Anjos
Rafael dos Anjos was Conor McGregor's original opponent for UFC 196. But a broken foot took him out of action just a couple of weeks before the fight was able to take place. RDA's broken foot should be healed in time for UFC 200, so his fight with McGregor may end up taking place then. While losing to Nate Diaz caused McGregor to lose some steam, he still does want to become the very first double-champion in UFC history. It's clear that he won't be winning the welterweight title anytime soon. So why not go for the lightweight title at the UFC's biggest show of the year? If you saw the Donald Cerrone fight, then you know RDA is a house of fire. He comes at his opponents fast, and he comes at them hard. He's an incredible athlete, and he has a lot of power behind his strikes. Prior to the Diaz fight, McGregor proved that he could take good shots just as well as he could give them. So it'd be interesting to see if he could survive a barrage from RDA, and become the UFC's first two-division champion.
