Conor McGregor urged to choose Jorge Masvidal over Tony Ferguson for UFC return

Conor McGregor has been implored to take on Jorge Masvidal, not Tony Ferguson, in his comeback fight this year after the Irishman teased a return to The Ultimate Fighter.

The legendary former two-weight world champion has been out of action for two years, but appears to be back to full health and nearing a return to the Octagon. On Thursday night, he teased that his comeback will be tied into an upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter, with old rival Ferguson emerging as his potential opponent.

However, former middleweight champion Michael Bisping reckons that McGregor should fight Masvidal instead, given his star-power and legitimacy at the weight. The two-time title contender has been on a losing streak of late but still commands a massive amount of interest from fans.
