Although many fans are claiming McGregor is taking the easy route back to title contention here, he needs to test his skills again and work his way back up the lightweight division first.
“We have nothing done, nothing is even close to being done, so I hate to even talk about this stuff and say it, because it might not happen. It might happen, but we’re looking at ‘Cowboy’” Dana White said.
Can Cowboy Defeat McGregor?
The short answer is YES. We haven’t seen much of McGregor as of late and Cowboy looked great up on a three-win fight streak up until his past two fights. He is a well-rounded fighter and is one of the best UFC fighters never to win a belt. Now on the tail end of his career, it will be a great pay day and deserved one for the loyal company man that he is. He is coming off two of the biggest fights of his career against Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje.
Now let’s sign the deal guys and get er’ done!
