5 Must-See Fights For Conor McGregor After UFC 257
2. Jorge Masvidal
If McGregor wants a bout that's going to be a challenge and also be a huge money fight, there's probably no better option than Jorge Masvidal currently. Although he lost to Kamaru Usman in 2020, that was following an exceptional 2019 in which Street Jesus baptised any welterweight willing to face him.
Considering his success at 170lb, it's hard to imagine Masvidal making a return to the lightweight division any time soon. While it might seem like both men being in different weight classes would stop the bout from happening, it might actually be one of the main reasons the fight is so attractive to McGregor in the first place.
McGregor seems to enjoy competing at welterweight and has found success in the division over the years. While there are some giants at 170lb, Masvidal isn't necessarily one of them. With the weight-cut not being a factor for McGregor, Masvidal not outweighing him by a huge amount and with pay-per-views buys likely to go crazy, it might be too tempting of an opportunity for the champ-champ to pass up on.
