POTENTIAL CONOR MCGREGOR SHOWDOWN'S

Dustin & Cub

Both these guys met at UFC on Fuel TV 7 last year, it was a bout where we would find out who was the better striker. Conor McGregor has a similar build & fight style as Poirier & Swanson, so it makes sense that he wants to fight the weaker of the two (Poirier) next.

What separates these three is Conor's superior striking, so these potential bouts work in McGregors favour, as its a guaranteed striker vs striker bout.

Chad & Denis

Now here's potential match-ups the UFC will want to avoid, as they could derail Conor McGregors title ambitions. Chad Mendes & Dennis Bermudez, two powerful FW's with good wrestling backgrounds, they could finish McGregor on the ground.

Mendes had a rematch with Aldo cancelled recently, he should be screaming out for a bout with McGregor & his rankings in the division should be able to push a potential McGregor vs Poirier bout to the side.

Chad's striking has vastly improved in recent years & this would give him confidence & going into a fight with Conor, if Mendes relied on his wrestling background & fought smart he easily gets a decision against McGregor.

With Bermudez fighting Guida next i’ve excluded him from the poll but, Mendes, Poirier & Swanson are all available to fight.
