The King is back!

Conor McGregor has not fought in the UFC since his lightweight title victory over Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 in November 2016.

He lost a boxing match to Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas last August and was supposed to meet with White in Brooklyn before the UFC 223 melee.

Since they are meeting in Liverpool to talk about McGregor's future with the company, It's a sure thing that the Irishman will be back real soon.

Addressing the media on the outcomes of the potential meeting with Conor McGregor, UFC President Dana White said,

We’re going to sit down and talk about his future and what’s next, I have nothing to do with the legal issues, he’ll need to figure that out on his own, Obviously, he has to deal with [his legal situation] in June, I’m flying to Liverpool this weekend for a fight there, and he and I are going to meet in Liverpool.”

When Conor plans to meet Uncle Dana, there's always big money involved, the only question is where and how the money is being made.

This article analyses some of the most likely outcomes that may come off this meeting between UFC's biggest star and its president.


#3 The 165-Pound Division

The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), officially recognized the 165-pound division last year. But, no leading MMA promotions have actually adopted the new division as of now.

UFC president Dana White was never a fan of the 165-pound division because he believes that fighters who compete at 170 pounds, would try to cut even more weight creating larger problems.

Georges St-Pierre, in his last fight against Micheal Bisping, faced serious health problems making weight and expressed his interest to come down and fight.

With GSP looking for a fight with Conor, and Conor not wanting to go to the welterweight (170 Lbs), the new 165 division will be blessed to host Conor vs GSP as its prime fight.

If Conor's meeting with Dana has anything to do with GSP, this division will witness its inaugural fight real soon.


#2 Money Mayweather

Conor Mcgregor and Floyd 'Money' Mayweather are the biggest stars in their sports and, have a love-hate relationship going on between them.

The Irishman faced Money Mayweather in a super hyped boxing match last year and had a bitter loss. Now, maybe its time for the latter to reciprocate the favor and fight inside the octagon against the UFC's biggest star.

The fight doesn't make any sense as the outcome is evident even if Floyd really has a superior wrestling as he claims.

A rematch with Floyd Mayweather or an MMA bout with him can be the perfect case scenario for Conor, who will need a lot of money to pay of the lawyers and to give compensation for the mess he created.

Maybe the reason behind Conor rushing to meet Dana in Liverpool this weekend is to make a proposal for another big money fight with Floyd.


# Khabib Fight

UFC 223: Nurmagomedov v Iaquinta
It's Khabib Time!

It is Khabib time in the MMA world lately and it has been bothering the Irish camp for long, the double champ has unfinished business with the undefeated Dagestani.

Conor Mcgregor is a man with principles and who live by it, one of the fundamental qualities he has is his strong camaraderie. He has massive love and respect for his teammates and the people who stood by him when he needed them.

Khabib Nurmagomedovdev, by bullying Conor's best buddy Artem Labov has clearly hurt Conor's pride and ego.

The Irishman wants revenge and needs it fast, Khabib maybe undefeated, and has the best grappling in the world. But, if he fights with Conor the way he fought with Al Iaquinta for the title, things can get really bad for the Dagestani.

Conor is one of the best strikers in the UFC roster and has excellent awareness of distance and timing, his left hand can cause a lot of trouble for his opponent, and he may find it really hard to pass his days without landing that left on Khabibs face.

This by far is the most likely reason why Conor wanted to meet Dana in Liverpool, If things go according to plan for Conor, we may get to see one of the biggest events in combat sports history take place real soon.
