Hot off the heels of a blistering performance at UFC 246, Conor McGregor has indicated that he would be interested in pursuing more fights at 170 pounds.
The former UFC Lightweight champion dismissed UFC president Dana White’s analysis that Conor fighting at welterweight was “a bad idea.” In response during a press conference following his knockout of Donald Cerrone, McGregor stated, “I enjoy this division. I like this division. I don’t think they’re that big.”
Comments from head coach John Kavanagh echoed the sentiment. When asked who he’d like to see Conor face-off with next on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour, Kavanagh suggested a name being called for by many fans, but with a twist.
