6 Blockbuster Fights For Conor McGregor On His UFC Return

5. Edson Barboza

In a world where even mid-card level fighters are refusing fights given to them by the UFC, let it be known that Edson Barboza is part of a rare breed who is more than willing to provide a shellacking to anyone who fancies themselves as better than him.

Since his UFC debut back in 2010, Barboza has fought practically everyone the UFC has offered him and none of them have been boring fights. His mixture of Muay Thai and Taekwondo would match-up interestingly with McGregor's boxing heavy game, and since both men have the power to end their opponent's night in devastating fashion, this fight would be a shoe-in for a 'Fight of the Night' bonus.
