The former UFC double champion can do whatever he wants. Conor McGregor is back in business and will take on Michael Chandler at UFC 303. Ahead of the fight, UFC legend turned analyst Michael Bisping has laid down the potential fights for the ‘Notorious’.
According to Bisping, if McGregor wins his next fight he can fight Islam Makhachev, and Leon Edwards for their titles. On top of it, Bisping also mentioned Max Holloway as another title opportunity for Conor McGregor.
Islam Makhachev is going to wrestle him all day long and take him down. Leon is gonna stand with him…. Max Holloway….Conor McGregor has a win over him, Holloway wants to revenge…There’s three title fights available for Conor McGregor. As if this guy hasn’t already got enough.

It is well known that everybody in the UFC wants the ‘red panty night’ fight against McGregor. Each one of the fighters Bisping mentioned, has either called out or agreed to fighting McGregor. As the biggest superstar in the history of the promotion, McGregor can never run out of great options.
McGregor was out of action for three years after he broke his left leg at UFC 264. However, his inactivity didn’t hamper his popularity at all. The hype around his return against Michael Chandler is massive and the PPV has already broken the all-time record in sales. Moreover, as far-fetched as Bisping’s claims may sound, they are not that far from reality.
