4 Opponents for 'Notorious' Conor McGregor after returning from suspension
UFC 229 was quite the pay-per-view UFC event.
It left UFC with two of their top fighters out of action, with Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov suspended indefinitely. However, the two might be facing even harsher fines and suspensions when the UFC, McGregor, and Nurmagomedov go up before the Nevada Athletic Commission for judgement.
The post-fight brawl's repercussions were felt around the world as the fans reacted to their favourite fighters acting in such an unprofessional manner. The brawn has been analysed from every possible angle and blame assigned by all the 'expert' fans out there.
At this point, however, one thing has been forgotten in the chaos following the event.
UFC 229 was supposed to be Conor McGregor's return fight in the UFC. Thanks to the events following the fight, the return has been put on hold for a while. However, eventually, McGregor will be allowed to return to the Octagon once more. And when he does, UFC and fans will be faced with a critical question.
What next for Conor McGregor? Who does he face next?
In this article, we will be looking at 4 possible opponents for Conor McGregor to face next. Any of these fights would be a good match for the 'Notorious One'.
#4 Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone
Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone recently won a critical victory at UFC Denver over Mike Perry. The victory saw him come out of a recent slump he had been facing. The win also came in front of his family.
In the post-fight presser which followed, Cerrone made it clear to the fans that UFC had a big match already planned for him. Later he went on to hint that the planned bout was against none other than Conor McGregor.
Since then Dana White has issued a disclaimer saying that nothing is fixed as far as Conor McGregor is concerned ahead of his hearing with the Nevada Athletic Commission.
