Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor has proven to be the biggest draw in the history of mixed martials arts.<\/p>\n
Despite suffering a fourth-round submission loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov in his highly anticipated octagon return<\/a> at UFC 229<\/a>, Conor McGregor’s stock is still sky high.<\/p>\n A fight with the Irish superstar is a huge deal for anyone on the roster.<\/p>\n Just ask former UFC middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva, who recently responded to “Mystic Mac” by issuing a challenger to fight at a catchweight of 180-pounds<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201c<\/em>I accept the challenge for Conor McGregor. I think UFC President Dana White needs to think about this. Because it\u2019s two big guys in this sport. Two big names \u2013 yes, absolutely, two big legends. And, why not?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Silva continued<\/p>\n \u201cI think 180 for me is good,\u201d<\/em> Silva suggested. \u201cI think for Conor too. Because it\u2019s a super fight, it\u2019s not about weight class.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Despite “The Spider’s” interest in a potential super-fight with Conor McGregor, oddsmakers<\/a> currently have the Irishman’s bitter rival Nate Diaz<\/a> listed as the favorite to be his next opponent.<\/p>\n Odds for who Conor McGregor will fight next (@betonline_ag<\/a>):<\/p>\n Nate Diaz +150 — Odds Shark (@OddsShark) October 23, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
