While in conversation with the media during the UFC 246 press conference, Conor McGregor offered fans some insight into the prospects of a fight against Jorge Masvidal.

The Irishman was asked to pick a fight for himself between Kamaru Usman and Masvidal. He responded by selecting 'Gamebred' as they shared a similar fighting style.

McGregor argued that 'The Nigerian Nightmare' shares characteristics that are similar to Khabib Nurmagomedov's, prompting his decision to pick the Miami native.

Here's what he had to say about the prospects of a fight against 'Gamebred':

"I'd say probably the more exciting of the bout[s] would probably be myself versus [Jorge Masvidal]. From a stylistic standpoint, [Kamaru Usman] kind of has the similar style of [Khabib Nurmagomedov], you know, the sniff the jockstrap style."

Check out a clip of McGregor's interaction with the media below:

UFC 246 saw McGregor feature in a welterweight bout against Donald Cerrone in the main event of the pay-per-view. The Dubliner managed to put 'Cowboy' away in the first round via TKO.

The fight marked the Irishman's return from a lengthy hiatus following a title fight loss at the hands of former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229.
