He could unify his undisputed UFC lightweight title with the interim lightweight title now owned by Tony Ferguson.

In his opinion, there&#8217;s &#8220;no question&#8221; that the Irishman will ultimately return to MMA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cAs it relates to mixed martial arts, I think Conor has been clear that he wants to come back and fight for the UFC. So there is no question that is going to happen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWho that [opponent] is going to be and what is next is still to be determined. We are just starting to talk and explore all the options.\u00a0But Conor is a draw. He does record-breaking gates and pay-per-views.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While Attar would like to see McGregor fight Ferguson, who is another one of his clients, he believes the trilogy fight with Nate Diaz could also happen.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cTony came out victorious,&#8221; Attar said. &#8220;I represent Tony so I was really happy for Tony to accomplish that.\u00a0You have the trilogy fight with Nate Diaz.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And then, of course there are McGregor&#8217;s options in the boxing world.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;You even have boxers like Manny Pacquiao knocking on the door,&#8221; Attar said.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All in all, Attar simply believes that McGregor has earned the right to choose what comes next.
