Conor McGregor still doesn’t have his next fight booked but if he ends up facing Justin Gaethje, the former two-division UFC champion would open as a sizable favorite.
As the entire mixed martial arts world waits out the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many fighters have started looking ahead towards summer dates in hopes that major sporting events will be booked again by that time.
Recently, McGregor’s longtime striking coach Owen Roddy suggested that a fight against Gaethje could be a possibility as the Irish superstar hoped to keep a busy schedule in 2020 after finishing Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in less than a minute back in January.
