If you think UFC featheweight Conor McGregor has accomplished a lot in just four fights in the promotion, wait until you hear what he's got planned next. The Irishman has already all but been�promised a title shot, next, against the winner of this month's championship rematch between�Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes.
In a recent interview with�SevereMMA, McGregor predicts when he'll win the title, where he'll defend it, and announces some division-hopping plans for afterwards. "I?ve skipped the queue and now I?m the world title contender, I?m number one contender. My next fight is most likely going to be for the title. After that there will be no catching me,? he exclaimed," McGregor began.
?I?ll win the belt, maybe I?ll defend it in the Aviva [Stadium] and then I?ll challenge for the lightweight belt, then who knows? That?s definitely in my plans, you better believe that."
For all us Americans out there, Aviva Stadium is a 50,000 seat soccer stadium in McGregor's home of Dublin, which would make it the largest live spectator event in UFC history. So, McGregor ain't planning small.
As for lightweight, McGregor said that a move up in class is all but inevitable.�?If a 155 fight came up I will take it. I?m only gone 26, I?m not going to be making featherweight my whole career, it?s a tough cut. I do it and I do it professionally, but it?s tough," he explained.
