Thanks to Conor McGregor, in part due to Frankie Edgar’s manager Ali Abdel-Aziz, the 165 division has been talked about more recently than it has in the last couple of years. When it was leaked he wanted a 165-pound title<\/a> during the UFC 222 late replacement back-and-forth<\/a>, few really believed it. However, Artem Lobov and later Dana White confirmed<\/a> McGregor was indeed in talks to step up and fight Edgar. Now Diego Sanchez has brought everything back in discussion and has the monumental fight he wants to debut the division.<\/p>\n

“Conor McGregor, come on brother. We need the 165-pound weight class. You have the power with UFC and Dana White to make it happen. First three division champion fight and winner goes down as the real greatest of all time. The sport needs this weight class. Georges St-Pierre talks 155-pounds, 165-pounds is realistic. Make it happen, Audie Attar. History in the making.”<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 Diego Sanchez on his official Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The thing is, Conor McGregor – money wise is the one that can put the most money on the table. However, legacy-wise, I don’t think he’s the guy. For me, legacy means more to me than the money.” – GSP #TheMMAHour<\/a><\/p>\n
