10 MMA Fighters You Want To See Knocked Out In 2020

1. Conor McGregor

You either love him or you hate him and if it's the latter then you're probably going to agree with his placement on this list.

Conor McGregor isn't in the fight business to make friends. He's in it to earn money and build an iconic legacy.

He's earned that money by selling himself as the walking/talking top superstar of MMA and he's created an illustrious legacy by taking down the majority of those who have been placed before him.

Yet, it's that loudmouth audacity which has made him not just the biggest money fight in all of MMA, but also the biggest target in the UFC.

Everyone, literally everyone in the company wants a piece of McGregor and wants to be the fighter to bounce the Irishman's head off the mat in 2020.

Jorge Masvidal, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Tony Ferguson, Kamaru Usman or possibly even the 'Notorious' one's next opponent, Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone, could all be the guy to do it in 2020.

In terms of people arguing that McGregor still has hordes of supporters who want to see him succeed upon his return, he definitely does. But, you can bet that - after his antics in the Nurmagomedov fight and his recent troubles outside of the Octagon - there'll be droves of MMA loyalists hoping that the cocky figurehead of the UFC will be beaten out of the spotlight in 2020.
