Jon Anik has proposed three blockbuster options for Conor McGregor\u2019s long-awaited UFC comeback fight.<\/p>\n
McGregor\u2019s next fight is the talk of the town these days, and everyone has an opinion on it. The Irishman has not fought since July 2021, when he suffered a defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in their trilogy.<\/p>\n
Conor’s scheduled return at UFC 303 in 2024, set against Michael Chandler during International Fight Week, was ultimately cancelled due to a toe injury.<\/p>\n
There seem to be several options for Conor McGregor, and Anik has shared his opinion on it.<\/p>\n
He was asked if Nate Diaz was the best option for the Irishman, and while the UFC commentator agreed, he said the Stockton star doesn\u2019t appear keen on a trilogy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it is the biggest fight. I think it makes a lot of sense but I think Nate Diaz was on Theo Von recently and maybe was suggesting that that\u2019s not the fight that he is looking for and I think that\u2019s a little bit refreshing,\u201d Anik said during an episode of Submission Radio.<\/p>\n
Anik suggested two more names other than Diaz, and the two names in his mind were Charles Oliveira and Max Holloway.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would really like to see that [Max Holloway vs. Conor McGregor] but the Charles Oliveira fight makes a lot of sense as well. And as I am commentating the BMF title fight with Charles Oliveira and Max Holloway, the whole time, Rogan and I are thinking, \u2018wow,\u2019 not, \u2018man, this is boring, this is grappling, these are bad [expletive deleted],\u2019\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo me, Charles and Conor for the BMF belt makes a lot of sense, Holloway makes a lot of sense, but yeah, the biggest fight is for Nate, even if Nate\u2019s not of a competitive nature for it right now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Conor McGregor poses with his belt. \u2014 IG\/TheNotoriousMMA Jon Anik has proposed three blockbuster options for Conor McGregor\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":581285,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[27448,64,63,17500,4736,786,89772,1395,14852,785,85,787],"class_list":{"0":"post-581284","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-anik","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-charles-oliveira","12":"tag-conor-mcgregor","13":"tag-fighting","14":"tag-jon-anik","15":"tag-max-holloway","16":"tag-mcgregor","17":"tag-mma","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-ufc"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581284\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/581285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
