5 potential opponents for Conor McGregor on his UFC return 

#1 Khabib Nurmagomedov

Khabib is undefeated in MMA competition.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is undefeated. He’s also, unfortunately, perpetually injured thanks to the caveman training techniques at AKA. Nevertheless, the Eagle never backs down from a challenge and Conor himself has previously asserted that he’d love to face the Russian in the latter’s homeland.

Should Conor choose to fight Nurmy, rather than facing the winner of the UFC 216 bout right away, the Eagle would be more than willing to welcome McGregor to Mother Russia in the mother of all MMA showdowns (pun intended).

To say that Khabib has great grappling would, in and of itself, be a severe understatement. The man mauls people once he gets them to the mat. He can submit you, should he choose to show mercy or give you a facial reconstruction (Bear style!) with a hellacious barrage of Ground & Pound.

Choose your poison.

Conor McGregor, beware! Monsters lie in wait for you, licking their chops at the prospect of facing a damaged fighter, what with the insane war and late-fight beat-down you received at the hands of one Floyd Mayweather Jr.
