Conor McGregor has a lot of interesting options going ahead. He picked up an emphatic victory in his comeback fight against Donald Cerrone and looked impressive in the 40 second KO win. Dana White has already shared his opinion on who he should fight next. He believes that the best move for McGregor right now would be a rematch against current lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, Khabib is yet to face Tony Ferguson at UFC 249, and the outcome of that match would play a huge role for Conor McGregor going forward. Interestingly enough, he has also shown interest in fighting for the welterweight gold, and a fight against Masvidal or Usman is also possible.
