Who Should Conor McGregor Fight Next? 5 Possible Opponents

With McGregor itching for a return to the Octagon, Donald Cerrone would be a great dance partner. Both fighters are massive fan-favourites and have a long history. Cerrone is a highly decorated veteran who despite his amazing career has never managed to win a title. He currently holds the record for the most wins in UFC history. His professional MMA record stands at 36-11-0, 1 NC.

'Cowboy' claimed his place at the top of the ladder after decisively beating top lightweight contender Al Iaquinta via unanimous decision. The MMA veteran also dispatched the upstart Alexander Hernandez at the start of the year which drew praise from The Notorious. Although Cerrone isn't the titleholder that McGregor craves he is still a top dog who draws in big crowds.

'Cowboy' is the fighter on this list who is most deserving for the opportunity of a lucrative bout with the talented Irish warrior. Cerrone is also in a title eliminator fight with Tony Ferguson, so if Conor beats either of those it would surely pave the way for his desired rematch with Khabib Nurmagomedov.
