Some good news for CM Punk fans

5- Conor McGregor vs. Eddie Alvarez for UFC 205

Alvarez next?

The biggest rumor of the week that went by was indeed the Conor McGregor vs. Eddie Alvarez one. McGregor, after his triumphant win against Nate Diaz, was expected to return to the Featherweight division to fight Jose Aldo, but from the looks of it, he might be headed to the Lightweight division to fight the champion, Eddie Alvarez.

Eddie meanwhile is sitting on a huge TKO win over Rafael Dos Anjos that lead to him winning the Lightweight championship. If McGregor is indeed fighting Alvarez, it is expected to be for the title, giving McGregor the title at two different weight classes if he does end up winning. The fight is expected to take place at UFC 205 with the only question being: will McGregor be forced to drop his Featherweight title.
