Conor McGregor chasing world titles not ‘silver’ belts

Former two-division champion Conor McGregor will return to the Octagon on Jan. 18 in the main event of UFC 246 in a welterweight bout against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. It will be McGregor’s first fight since losing to lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018.

After Jorge Masvidal defeated Nate Diaz to win the BMF belt at UFC 244, he called out McGregor. UFC president Dana White has been reluctant to put the match together, but it’s a fight that interests McGregor. In fact, McGregor is interested in a lot of fights in the 170-pound weight class.

“Yeah, I’d face Jorge. I’m not going to 170 (pounds) just for Jorge. He hasn’t got really anything. I wasn’t really that happy how that ‘Bad Motherf***er’ thing ended. I think it’s unfinished. In my opinion, that bout is unfinished. It was only getting into a good bout. I believe we were robbed of rounds four and five in that bout,” McGregor said in a recent interview with MacLife.
