5 Reasons why Conor McGregor should move up to Welterweight

#1 New challenges at Welterweight

McGregor,

would make for a great fight

Conor McGregor's coach John Kavanaugh has often asserted that the former does intend to fight Nate Diaz in a rubber match to complete their trilogy. However, until McGregor's loss at UFC 229, all signs pointed towards the Irishman fighting Diaz in their third fight in the Lightweight division as opposed to their first two bouts that took place at Welterweight.

Well, now that McGregor may benefit more by marketing himself in a fight at Welterweight, it only makes sense for him to compete in the Diaz trilogy fight at 170 pounds -- just like their first couple of fights!

Moreover, there are several new challenges for McGregor are Welterweight, including Darren Till and Stephen Thompson -- both of whom are excellent strikers, and match up excellently as regards striking styles with McGregor. In other words, the possibilities are endless for "The Notorious" Irish combat savant in the 170 pound weight-class.
