Brendan Schaub encourages Conor McGregor to fight Tony Ferguson next: "You gotta get a win"

Josh Evanoff - July 21, 2022

Brendan Schaub believes former UFC dual-weight champion Conor McGregor should fight Tony Ferguson next. ‘The Notorious’ has been out of the cage since his loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 last July. The fight saw him lose via TKO due to injury, as McGregor broke his leg. Due to the injury, the former champion has been on the shelf for over a year.

UFC star Conor McGregor is in incredible shape as he continues his road back to the Octagon following his leg break. Last summer at UFC 264, Conor McGregor suffered a nasty leg injury in his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier. Ever since then fans have been wondering when we’re going to see him back in the Octagon, with some even thinking he may retire altogether – largely because he doesn’t actually have anything left to prove.

Cole Shelton - July 15, 2022

Dustin Poirier is hoping the UFC makes Justin Gaethje vs. Conor McGregor for the Irishman’s return fight. Ever since McGregor suffered a broken leg in his trilogy bout against Poirier at UFC 264 last July, many have wondered when and who ‘Notorious’ will face in his return. McGregor has talked about moving up to welterweight and wanted Kamaru Usman, or potentially face Charles Oliveira for the belt, but for Poirier, he believes McGregor-Gaethje makes too much sense.

Conor McGregor has no interest in a boxing match with Jake Paul. ‘The Problem Child’ is set for a showdown with Hasim Rahman Jr. next month in New York. The bout is a big step up for the YouTuber, as he’s facing an established professional boxer for the first time in his career.

Michael Chandler calls for lightweight title fight against Islam Makhachev so Charles Oliveira can "sit out and wait" for Conor McGregor

Cole Shelton - July 6, 2022

Michael Chandler is eyeing a fight with Islam Makhachev for the vacant lightweight title next time out. The lightweight title was vacated when Oliveira missed weight for his UFC 274 fight against Justin Gaethje. Oliveira ended up winning the fight and Dana White said he would be one-half of a vacant title fight. Yet, he has recently talked about wanting to face Conor McGregor so Chandler says if the Brazilian really wants that fight, he believes he should face Makhachev for the vacant belt.

Harry Kettle - July 6, 2022

Conor McGregor has praised fellow Irishman Ian Garry following his impressive win at UFC 276 last weekend. Throughout the course of the last decade or so, we’ve seen Irish mixed martial arts rise to prominence in a big way – and the size of Conor McGregor’s role in that can’t be understated. He managed to influence an entire generation of fighters from Ireland and one of them, as you can imagine by now, was Ian Garry.

Former UFC welterweight Donald Cerrone was ready to hang it up long before he actually did. ‘Cowboy’ faced off against Jim Miller in a rematch at UFC 276 last Saturday night in Las Vegas. The second encounter would go much differently despite Cerrone winning their first bout by a knockout in 2014.

Conor McGregor claps back at Jorge Masvidal following accusations of cocaine use and ducking fights: “Me and your mom get along”

Cole Shelton - June 28, 2022

Conor McGregor has fired back at Jorge Masvidal for his recent comments. Masvidal has been vocal in taking shots at McGregor as he hopes that will lead to them fighting. The Irishman is getting close to returning and may return at welterweight given the size he has added on during the time off, which is why Masvidal is interested in the bout, but he claims McGregor doesn’t want it.

Dan Hooker reacts to rumored Clay Guida matchup: “How did I go from Conor McGregor to Clay Guida?”

Harry Kettle - June 28, 2022

Dan Hooker has given his thoughts on the rumours suggesting he will be squaring off with Clay Guida in his next fight. Despite being one of the most entertaining fighters of his era, Dan Hooker hasn’t quite had the success he would’ve been hoping for across his last few fights. In his last five he’s only managed to secure one victory across both lightweight and featherweight and following an unsuccessful return to 145 pounds in his loss to Arnold Allen, ‘Hangman’ appears to be gearing up for a lightweight comeback.

Max Holloway wouldn’t be surprised if Conor McGregor walks away from the sport of MMA. McGregor is undoubtedly the biggest star in the sport. He has broken PPV and live gate records for the UFC. Despite being in a funk as of late, his star power hasn’t taken a hit.
