Reigning UFC featherweight champion the “Notorious” Conor McGregor took on a daunting task when he accepted a bout opposite lightweight kingpin Rafael dos Anjos.
The scrap was scheduled for last weekend’s (March 5, 2016) UFC 196, and McGregor was attempting to become the first man in promotional history to hold two titles simultaneously.
Ultimately, dos Anjos pulled out of the fight just over a week out with a broken foot.
The “Notorious” one would end up taking on fan favorite Nate Diaz in a welterweight bout, two whole weight classes above his usual home at 145-pounds.
While his willingness to take on anyone at any time was on full display, the move proved to be detrimental to the Irishman, as he suffered a shocking second round submission loss to Diaz.
After the loss, McGregor will likely drop back down to featherweight to defend his title, but that doesn’t mean a future at 155-pounds or even 170-pounds is completely out of the question.
Let’s take a look at five changes McGregor must make in order to defeat bigger foes:
