If we take into account the 155-pound ranking of the UFC, a fight between Conor McGregor Y Rafael dos Anjos It has never made more sense.
McGregor slid down to sixth in the rankings after experiencing his first career TKO loss at the hands of Dustin Poirier in the head fight of the UFC 257.
Dos Anjos, meanwhile, was set in seventh position, defeating by unanimous decision Paul fields in the stellar five rounds of UFC Fight Night Las Vegas 14 in which it was his return to the division.
Speaking to MMA Junkie, the former champion of the category, who had a scheduled fight with McGregor at the UFC 196 that would never end up happening, he thinks it’s not a good match for the Irishman considering how complete his arsenal is.
“I’m definitely a bad match for Conor, especially because of my style, my kicks, my left-handed stance, and my grappling and fighting skills. I think the results of our last fights will make our paths cross again.
Although McGregor was finished by Poirier in the second round, he is convinced that he has a chance of realizing a trilogy in which the division title is at stake, so a potential fight with ‘RDA’ – which on the surface looks winnable. for the Irish – it will only depend on the plans that the UFC has in hand.
