6 UFC Opponents Conor McGregor Will Probably Face Next
1. Kamaru Usman
The UFC Welterweight Champion has the thing that McGregor loves the most - a golden belt around his waist, and the fact that Connor has never conquered this weight class only makes things more interesting for him.
Out of all the potential opponents, none present the level of danger The Nigerian Nightmare brings to the table. With punches that can easily knock anyone out and a ground game that no one on the division can touch, Usman tears through the ranks amassing a streak of 14 victories along the way. Such a track-record would make any fighter hesitant to step into the octagon with Kamaru, but it may just be the thing that attracts McGregor who thrives on pressure, challenges, and building his legacy.
Of course, McGregor is still ranked too low in welterweight to realistically get a title shot, but if he decides to stay at 170 and fight, let's say, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal beforehand, the opportunity is there. Usman himself didn't deny the interest he had in this fight, and that's no surprise because who would want to turn down a red panty night?
