Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion Conor McGregor, much like he did after winning the featherweight title at UFC 194, will leave the 155-pound division in a holding pattern to do ... pretty much whatever he wants.
That includes playing daddy, as “Notorious” will welcome his first baby in 2017.
Promotion president Dana White was forced to reclaim the featherweight title McGregor won from Jose Aldo, despite what you may have seen from the newly-licensed pugilist in this viral video.
“Conor is the best,” White told FOX Sports Live. “He’s got no fights, he’s taking 10 months off, he’s having a baby, and everybody’s still talking about him. He’s the best at it, nobody’s better.”
Maybe, maybe not.
With McGregor handling his business outside the cage, Tony Ferguson is expected to collide with fellow top contender Khabib Nurmagomedov for the right to fight for the division title next summer.
Assuming “El Cucuy” doesn’t do something crazy like this.
