On a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the host broke down who might be next for Conor McGregor following his loss to Dustin Poirier in the main event of UFC 257, and why.

If you want to make a shitload of money before Conor fights someone else, you have the rematch, Rogan said. Here’s the thing. If Dustin fights Charles Oliveira and then Conor fights Michael Chandler – which is a possibility – what are the odds that Conor beats Chandler? I think Chandler is a favorite in that fight, which is very dangerous for your money.

If you want to make a lot of money, what you do is allow Conor to have some time off and then figure out a way to market this so you can explain a way that Conor can figure out how to beat Dustin. He did beat him in the first fight and he did rock him in the second fight. Dustin actually admitted that there was one point in the first round where he was hurt. But that might have been Dustin looking to set up the rematch.

Let me throw one more variable. What if the Covid restrictions are lifted, [do the trilogy fight] in Dublin, Ireland in a soccer stadium.

Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz III is a great option. It doesn’t offend anyone like myself, who is a purist. And Nate is not the kind of kicker that Dustin is. He’s much more of a boxer, which falls into Conor’s wheelhouse more. Nate is also insanely durable and he has a finish over Conor. Conor doesn’t have a finish over Nate Diaz.

UG, who do you think McGregor fights next, and is it the fight you most want to see, or not?
