In early June, one of the most famous MMA fighters announced his retirement. This is the third time Conor McGregor has done it. However, he has never taken such a long pause before returning. If Conor returns to sports, there will be no end of proposals. Who can McGregor meet, and who will make the big money on him?
Khamzat Chimaev
The Chechen-Swedish athlete burst into the UFC like a whirlwind, having two debut fights in 10 days and winning with complete dominance. Chimaev knows that the UFC loves noisy fighters and has already grappled with the famous Irishman on social networks. The parties exchanged insults, after which Chimaev challenged Conor to a duel. He seemed to agree. However, it is highly doubtful that this fight will take place in the next few years.
Khabib Nurmagomedov
McGregor himself would like to take revenge on Khabib Nurmagomedov. The Irishman requested several times for the UFC management to arrange for him a second fight with the Dagestani, each time bumping into a wall of misunderstanding.
If McGregor gets a meeting with Nurmagomedov, other top fighters who deserve it more will certainly express their displeasure. Nevertheless, a duel between the Irishman and the Dagestani is very likely.
Manny Pacquiao
On August 1st, McGregor tweeted a cryptic message “Tinatanggap ko.” In Tagalog, which is used in the Philippines, it means “I accept”. In this creative way, the Irishman hints at a possible fight with the legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao. The athletes have a common management team, and earlier McGregor had already offered Pacquiao the fight, according to the rules of boxing.
The Filipino is already 41 years old, so McGregor may have at least some chance of winning. Let’s see who makes the big money on McGregor.
