3. Tony Ferguson

One of the most feared fighters on the UFC roster, Ferguson seems to have resolved his personal issues and is eager to once again make a statement inside the cage. Booked in to face the veteran Donald Cerrone at UFC 238, Ferguson has a history with McGregor, frequently calling out 'McNuggets' on social media.

Widely considered as one of the best lightweights of all time, 'El Cucuy' has a crazy fighting style which makes him a challenging prospect for McGregor. Ferguson throws looping solid punches and pressures opponents into closing the distance. He then catches them off-guard with tight front headlocks. Ferguson also evades takedown attempts with his trademark roly polys.

If McGregor wants to show real intent, dispatching Ferguson would be the perfect step towards reclaiming his belt. El Cucuy was previously signed to the same management label as McGregor but has since joined Ballangee Group, seemingly paving the way for an ultimate showdown with the Irish warrior.
