Who will Conor McGregor fight on his UFC return?
Considering the anti-climactic end at UFC 264, McGregor will aim to have a fourth fight against Dustin Poirier on his octagon return. However, Poirier, as the top-ranked fighter, will probably go up against the current UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira.
If the ‘Diamond’ wins the title, McGregor would probably need to claim two to three back-to-back victories before he gets a shot at Dustin Poirier. However, anything is possible with Conor McGregor.
