Conor McGregor looks set to make his comeback against old rival Tony Ferguson - but UFC fans aren't too keen on the matchup.
Former two-weight champion McGregor is expected to make his UFC return this year having not fought since breaking his leg in defeat by Dustin Poirier in July 2021. 'Notorious' has been linked with a whole host of potential opponents for his comeback fight including Michael Chandler, Jorge Masvidal and Ferguson.
Ferguson was once on a 12-fight winning streak in the UFC and even won the interim lightweight title in 2016. Despite his and McGregor's success in the division, a fight between the pair never materialised. Ferguson has lost five fights in a row but claims the UFC have offered him a spot to coach The Ultimate Fighter against McGregor, but fans think a fight between the rivals would be a big mismatch.
