"I think UFC has to make the fight, Conor versus Nate Diaz 3, and after, me and Tony. "Because, my opinion, I think Tony Ferguson is the real champion. That’s why. "I don’t think, if I fight versus Tony Ferguson, this is an interim belt. Officially, yes. But people want to see me versus Tony Ferguson. I think this is a much better fight, for everything. If I beat Tony Ferguson and take the interim championship belt... Conor’s the official champion, but he’s not the people’s champion."https://twitter.com/DarrMurphy/status/920191832549658625 John Kavanagh and Owen Roddy, McGregor's coaches, are pushing for their man to see out a trilogy against Diaz but White calls all talk of an agreement being neared as 'internet bullshit'. Nurmagomedov believes McGregor's only other option, if the Diaz fight fails to materialise, is to unify the 155lbs division by taking on Ferguson. https://twitter.com/guicruzzz/status/920022628848619523 Interestingly, Barboza [the No.3 ranked lightweight] tweeted out that he has a December fight coming up but deleted it soon after. It would make sense, if McGregor does have a fight coming up, to place another lightweight bout on the card, in case of injuries. If there are any major announcements for UFC 2019, on December 30, we should find out before the end of the month. https://youtu.be/qpeEki_UG_I
