Conor McGregor has been one of, if not the quickest rising star in the UFC. Having a 4-0 record in the UFC, with his recent win coming over formerly ranked #5 Dustin Poirier<\/a>, McGregor’s name has been thrown in for talks of the next title shot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘Notorious’ has no doubts about what he wants to do next however, with a new ‘UFC: The Fighting Irish’ billboard hanging in Dublin, McGregor wants a title shot against the winner of Aldo vs. Mendes II in Ireland. He then plans to defend the belt, and then move up in weight to fight for the lightweight belt.<\/a><\/p>\n

He spoke to SevereMMA<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you do what you say you\u2019re going to do look what happens? I\u2019ve skipped the queue and now I\u2019m the world title contender, I\u2019m number one contender. My next fight is most likely going to be for the title. After that there will be no catching me,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a 155 fight came up I will take it. I\u2019m only gone 26, I\u2019m not going to be making featherweight my whole career, it\u2019s a tough cut. I do it and I do it professionally, but it\u2019s tough.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll win the belt, maybe I\u2019ll defend it in the Aviva and then I\u2019ll challenge for the lightweight belt, then who knows? That\u2019s definitely in my plans, you better believe that,\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be in the summer. I\u2019ll win the belt, possibly in January or February in Vegas and then I\u2019ll defend it in the Aviva in June or July. It\u2019s definitely in the Aviva next summer.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
