What is next for Conor McGregor in the UFC?

McGregor has been recovering from a leg injury since UFC 264. The Irishman recently returned to boxing training and is eyeing a return to the octagon later this year.

The 'Notorious' megastar has issued consistent callouts to lightweight champion Charles Oliveira. Despite being on a two-fight skid, it seems possible the Irishman could return straight into the title picture upon his return.

Fans and experts have also advocated for a fight between Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal next. Both fighters have an exciting stand-up style. A showdown between the duo would almost certainly be a barn-burner.

There are also other exciting matchups for McGregor upon his return. A trilogy fight with Nate Diaz is something that many fans have wanted to see for a while now.
