However, as per Lightweight contender Al Iaquinta, McGregor isn’t deserving of another title shot and never has been.
In case you didn’t know…
At UFC 229, Khabib Nurmagomedov successfully defended his UFC Lightweight Title against Conor McGregor in a highly awaited but more of a one-sided fight.
Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor in the fourth round of their fight thanks to a nasty neck-crank submission.
The heart of the matter
While speaking with TMZ Sports, Al Iaquinta, who recently broke into the Top 5 standings in the UFC Lightweight Division following his win over Kevin Lee, stated that he doesn’t feel McGregor should get another shot at the UFC Lightweight Title unless it’s just a “money thing”. (H/T: Bloody Elbow)
Additionally, Iaquinta noted that McGregor’s next potential opponent should be non-other than ‘Raging Al’ himself.
What’s next?
As of right now, Conor McGregor’s future in the UFC is still uncertain and his next fight or opponent inside the Octagon is yet to be confirmed.
As far as Iaquinta is confirmed, it’ll also be interesting to see who UFC picks out next for Iaquinta.
