Conor McGregor has been told the smart move for his UFC comeback would be to ease into action with victory over Tony Ferguson.
The Irishman has recently returned to MMA training after over a year out with a broken leg that he suffered in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier. Despite not fighting in all of that time, and losing two fights before his lengthy sideline spell, McGregor remains a huge name who has been called out by multiple champions.
But without a win since January 2020, McGregor will likely have waited three years to register a victory when he finally returns to action. Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub believes the best course of action for the Irishman is to organise a favourable match-up with his long-time rival to get back in the win column before taking on the likes of Michael Chandler or Kamaru Usman.
