McGregor’s 2020 Hit List Continues

The UFC’s first event of 2020 was headlined by Conor McGregor. The Irishman blasted through Donald Cerrone in just 40 seconds.

In January, speaking to TheMacLife, McGregor seemed interested in facing Gaethje.

“He is on the list,” McGregor said. “He is on the list. Maybe I will face him next. Maybe I’ll face him next. He has it coming to him. … He’s a funny guy. He’s been taking it very to heart. I know the feeling when you do that. Maybe I’ll get through Donald and I’ll have a quick turnaround against Justin. Maybe that’s what will happen. But Justin is on the list, no doubt.”

According to BloodElbow.com “It’s unclear exactly when the fight could go down, though their annual July card with the fan expo seems like the most logical place for it. Again, this isn’t a confirmed plan right now – in fact, it’s more of a rumor at this point – but it would be a very good fight for the fans.”

If McGregor can get past Gaethje expect him to face the winner of Khabib vs Ferguson. We previewed the round betting odds for Khabib vs Ferguson here.
