McGregor won the first one, so this will likely put an end to the rivalry between the fighters.

You’d think Dana White and the UFC will really be hoping that Conor McGregor can take care of business this time around. The sport is simply more intriguing when McGregor is competing for belts.

While he might not be the fighter he once was, we’ll see if Conor McGregor can silence his critics on July 10th. It should be a lot of fun.
