Fantasy Fight Forecasting: 6 options for Conor McGregor's UFC return and his chances to win
Fantasy Fight Forecasting is making its return on this rare off week from the UFC schedule. I'll use this opportunity to examine the potential odds and opponents for the return of Conor McGregor , offering supplemental statistics and prognostications along the way.
McGregor was most recently seen inside the octagon opposite Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, where he sustained fight-ending injuries to his left fibula and tibia.
The famed Irish fighter reportedly is back sparring and can be expected to step back into competition later this year. Between his popularity and his polarizing nature, McGregor shouldn't struggle when it comes to potential suitors for the occasion.
Without further ado, here's a list of six potential matchups for McGregor with predictive analysis.
