There are a host of entertaining options available for Conor McGregor after UFC 237 from Melbourne. One of those is McGregor vs. Ferguson, possibly for an interim title.
UFC President Dana White entertained the idea that former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion McGregor could end up Ferguson. It all comes down to what UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov decides to do for his 2019 plans.
Nurmagomedov is eligible to return to return as soon as April. This comes after getting his suspension from the NSAC following his actions in the UFC 229 brawl. However, Khabib has indicated he won’t compete until the one-year suspensions issued to his teammates for their roles in the brawl are complete in October.
Thus, while speaking with the media after UFC 234, the UFC President said that McGregor might end up facing Ferguson before Khabib does.
“Guys can’t sit out and wait that long when you have the title,” White said (H/T to MMAWeekly). “You can’t do it. So if that’s true and he’s going to do that, then we’d have to figure out something else and you start looking at whether it’s Conor McGregor and Tony Ferguson or one of these other guys. When opportunity knocks, answer the door. We’ll see how this thing plays out.”
Indeed we will. In the meantime, McGregor has offered to fight Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz, both of which would be high-profile fights.
So even though he hasn’t won since 2016, the possibilities are still many for MMAs biggest name.

Punishments have now been issued out to all involved in the post-UFC 229 brawl.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) issues out fines and suspensions to Conor McGregor, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Khabib’s teammates, Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Zubaira Tukhugov, for their involvements. While UFC President Dana White believes the NSAC was a little too harsh on his lightweight champion, he fully agrees with the sanctions handed out to Abubakar and Tukhugov (via MMA News):
“We’re working on that right now with him,” White said. “The one thing I absolutely agree with the athletic commission on that one.
“Bad enough the fighters are in there fighting, you cannot have the corner men jumping in and fighting and all the things that went on leading up to that fight with the corner and their teammates. That can never happen.”
Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Zubaira Tukhugov were each given one-year suspensions and $25,000 in fines. Khabib was given a whopping $500,000 fine along with a nine-month suspension for sparking the entire ordeal. As for McGregor, he will pay $50,000 and serve a six-month suspension.
Khabib has said he will sit out along with his teammates as they serve their suspensions. If that’s the case, the 155-pound champ will miss most of 2019. It’s unknown who “The Eagle” will fight upon his return, but Tony Ferguson seems like the most deserving candidate of the bunch.
As for McGregor, a fight with Donald Cerrone is really picking up steam as of late.
