‘You gotta get a win’ — Brendan Schaub urges Conor McGregor to fight Tony Ferguson next

Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub thinks Conor McGregor needs to get back in the win column before the Irishman starts thinking about a title fight.

McGregor has spent a year-long stretch on the sidelines after breaking his leg in a nasty TKO loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 that saw the Dubliner carried out of the Octagon on a stretcher.

However, despite being injured, “The Notorious” has ambitions of fighting Kamaru Usman for the welterweight title and setting a new UFC milestone by becoming the first fighter in the promotion to win gold at three weight classes.
