When Conor McGregor returns to the cage \u2014\u00a0if\u00a0<\/em>Conor McGregor returns to the cage \u2014 two of his best options in terms of opponents are current UFC lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov, and former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nurmagomedov and St-Pierre are two of the most dominant fighters in MMA history. St-Pierre has lost just twice in 28 fights, and avenged both of those losses in decisive fashion. Nurmagomedov, meanwhile, has never lost a fight, and currently sits at a flawless 26-0 overall.<\/p>\n

Despite the incredible dominance of both men, McGregor’s striking coach Owen Roddy feels there are chinks in both of their armor. He feels that, with the proper game plan, McGregor could expose those flaws and emerge the victor against both stars.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery fight is exciting, it\u2019s like, \u2018How do we approach this guy? What\u2019s he going to come up with? What threats does he have and where are his flaws?\u2019\u201d Roddy explained toMMA Fighting\u2019s Mike Sheridan<\/a> this week (transcribed by\u00a0Dan Hiergesell for MMAMania<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll find the threats and look at how to nullify them,” he added. “Then we look at the flaws and see how we capitalize on them. It\u2019s not just me, it\u2019s a team effort: it\u2019s John [Kavanagh], it\u2019s Conor \u2014 Conor has a huge input on what shots he uses. He\u2019s such a smart fighter. People think he just goes in and lands the left hand, but it\u2019s everything before \u2014 he\u2019s leading people into that position and he\u2019s very good at doing that.”<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn is very good at what he does, I\u2019m very good at what I do. If we\u2019re fighting wrestlers Sergey [Pikulskiy] comes in and he\u2019s a phenomenal wrestling coach. And Dillon [Danis] will be there. It\u2019s a phenomenal team and we have all angles covered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you think that, with the help of his team, Conor McGregor could take out Georges St-Pierre and Khabib Nurmagomedov?<\/p>\n
