Conor McGregor Envisions Holding UFC Belts in Three Weight Classes by End of 2016

When Conor McGregor faces Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 197, he will attempt to add championship belt No. 2 to his trophy case.

While capturing lightweight gold is far from a foregone conclusion given dos Anjos’ recent track record, the “Notorious” Irishman is, in typical fashion, already dreaming bigger.

“I’m an active champion. I will fight in many weight divisions,” McGregor said during a press conference to promote UFC 197. “As it grows and all of this forms, I like the sound of that 170-pound title as well. I feel I can take down three gold belts.
