In the featherweight division, Conor can choose to challenge Jose Aldo or many other excellent fighters in the 145 lb weight class. Aldo had his chance at UFC 194 and he was beaten in thirteen seconds. "Fighting Jose in a rematch would be boring," McGregor said at the UFC 205 post-fight press conference. The Brazilian didn't show any enthusiasm or drive to defend his championship belt, according to Fox Sports News. Also, Aldo made Conor wait for two years for a chance at a title fight with excuses and injuries.
On the other hand, Khabib Nurmagomedov, in the lightweight division, has been waiting patiently and he has earned a chance to fight for the belt.
He's a skilled grappler and a master puncher. This is the fight fans are talking about. Khabib said publicly, and on Twitter, he wanted to fight McGregor and called him a chicken! It looks like the lightweight division is where Conor McGregor wants to go.
Conor is also focusing on his personal life
McGregor announced after his fight with Eddie Alvarez that in May 2017 he would become a father for the first time with his pregnant girlfriend, Dee Devlin. He wants to wait until after the baby is born to decide whether to take time off or to get right back in the octagon. The pair has been together for over eight years, and she has been by his side through thick and thin. Like Conor, she's proud to be from Ireland and they travel the world together.
McGregor gives her everything she wants and admits; she keeps him going.
McGregor wants a piece of the UFC pie
Conor McGregor wants part ownership in the UFC. On top of his game and very aware of how much money he's making for the UFC company, he wants a share of it. He puts it all on the line with each and every fight, and he has earned two division belts.
The "Notorious" believes he deserves the extra income.
