Is Frankie Edgar getting snubbed again?
For someone with such a clear vision on what he wants to achieve in his career and exactly how he will go about achieving it, it's incredible how unwilling Conor McGregor is to spelling out his announcements in plain English.
The undisputed UFC featherweight champion sent an odd string of tweets on Monday afternoon, one of which seems to suggest he has already booked his next fight.
The Notorious revealed that he will fight back-to-back super fights, which may mean that he will be fighting for another belt after he takes on Rafael dos Anjos.

McGregor has already explicitly spoke about his intention to claim the welterweight title before the end of year, and with the huge UFC 200 set for the summer, perhaps a super fight against Robbie Lawler is on the cards.
It is important to note that this is purely speculation and the ambiguous nature of the the phrase "super fight" leaves it open for debate.
Some people considered Anderson Silva vs Nick Diaz to be a super fight, while others reckon it is only truly 'super' if its between two champions, for example George St Pierre v BJ Penn at UFC 94.
This latter definition could mean that McGregor was talking about UFC 194 when he, as interim champion, defeating Jose Aldo as well as his upcoming clash with Dos Anjos.
McGregor then moved onto one of his favourite subjects, the amount of power he has in the promotion.

He finished with a tongue-in-cheek message claiming that he has so much sway in the UFC, that he has already inducted himself into the Hall of Fame. He added that the details of "the event", presumably the next super fight, will be revealed soon.
