Conor McGregor’s next test in the UFC may be the lightweight division

“In case you’re curious, a more optimistic estimate for McGregor – say, a $5 PPV cut and 1.5 million PPV buys – would equate to almost $622,000 per second ($8 million total)”.

Conor McGregor was declared the victor by knockout and crowned featherweight champion Saturday against Jose Aldo during UFC 194 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

“So, there wasn’t even a fight, right?”

“I’ve put in a hell of a lot of work this year, it’s been a insane, crazy year for me”. Respect to a great champion in José Aldo. McGregor slipped the right hand and threw the counter left that dropped Aldo instantly.

“He was a brash young man, he still is a brash young man, and he was already predicting the stuff he was going to do”, remembers MMA fighter Chris Fields of SBG who has trained with McGregor for all that time.

“It would have been nice if the contest had stretched out a little bit longer, just for all that it’s been through, but I still feel the same process would have happened”, he said.

It was not soon after the fight when McGregor took to the mic with his “Mystic Mac” gimmick, declaring he foresaw the first round victory. “$72 million?” McGregor said in a post-fight press conference, as quoted by Bloody Elbow.

“If I go up to that lightweight division, there’s no way in hell that I’m vacating my belt”.

Aldo (25-2) is now on a one-fight winning streak.

“I think we need a rematch, and that will be my fight”. Checking out the video below and how fast the match went, it may be a hard one to call.

If McGregor decides to do so, Edgar would most likely face the former featherweight champion, Jose Aldo. “Not only me, but my career speaks for itself”. “It’s a sport, we have to accept. Not only from wins you live your life”.

Asked if he will be looking for a rematch, he said, “Of course, if god wills it, now, firstly I want to get back to gym and come back stronger”.

Boom, he’s back. We’ll see what Conor decides to do, if he decides to make the weight, not make the weight, whatever.
