Conor McGregor might have revealed his plans after his big trilogy against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Now that he is in the 155 pounds category for the second time in his career, McGregor is all set to challenge ‘Do Bronx’ for the UFC Lightweight Championship and claim the throne of the lightweight division again.

In an interview with Ariel Helwani at BT Sport, McGregor declared that he did not think of Charles Oliveira as a legitimate threat and admitted that he will beat the champion and create history after he is done with Poirier this 10th of July.

“Yeah, it’s Oliveira next,” McGregor told BT Sport. “We’ll dance with the Brazilians again, and I look forward to it. He’s timid. He’s going to crumble.” 

Dana White has said multiple times that the winner of the trilogy fight at UFC 264 will go on to face the lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira. Interestingly enough, the Brazilian will be there in Las Vegas when McGregor and Poirier will go for each other’s throats.

Conor McGregor in the lightweight division

If the Irishman wins against Poirier at UFC 264 and faces Oliveira for the lightweight belt, this will not be the first time McGregor fights in this division.

The last time McGregor fought in the lightweight division, it was against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 where Alvarez put his lightweight title on the line.

‘The Notorious’ won the fight in the second round via TKO (Technical Knockout); hence, becoming the first double champion in UFC history.

Clearly, McGregor is no stranger to winning matches and shining under pressure. Before facing Oliveira for the championship, McGregor has a tough task at hand at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier in Las Vegas.
