First, win the UFC featherweight title. Then lightweight. Then welterweight.
That is going through Jose Aldo, Rafael dos Anjos, and Robbie Lawler.
Aldo of course fell in spectacular fashion. The fight with RDA at UFC 196 on March 5 is delayed, due to injury. But in a recent interview with SevereMMA, McGregor talked about continuing the march.
Why not go up? replied McGregor, when asked about 170. They get slower and they get less free. They get stiffer. Even more stuck than the lightweight division.
As crazy as it sounds, UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub spoke recently with Joe Rogan, and said he thinks McGregor would beat current welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.
“I’m gonna say something crazy, Joe,” began Schaub, as transcribed by Mike Drahota for LowKick. “Are you ready for this?
“I think the toughest match-up possible for McGregor in the UFC is dos Anjos. I think the easier fight for him is Robbie Lawler. Robbie’s not gonna touch him. Not a chance. I think he f***s Robbie up, and I love Robbie! Style wise he f***s Robbie up.”
So what do you tink UG?
