Conor McGregor may finally defend his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight title in 2018.
McGregor hasn’t competed in mixed martial arts (MMA) since Nov. 2016. He earned a second-round TKO victory over Eddie Alvarez to capture the 155-pound gold. The “Notorious” one opted to have a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather in Aug. 2017. The bout took the number two spot on the top pay-per-view buys list.
TMZ recently caught up to McGregor to gauge where his interests are in terms of fighting. “Mystic Mac” made it clear what he wants next:
“I think a true fight is what I want to do next. A real fight … MMA next.”
