Conor McGregor is already looking to make history next month when he challenges UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 196. A win will give McGregor the notoriety of becoming the first UFC fighter to ever hold simultaneous titles in two weight divisions, but the Irishman has a knack for upping the stakes. And really, what better way to do that by throwing a third title into the mix?
McGregor's head coach, John Kavanagh, said in a column penned Thursday for Irish outlet The 42 that while no concrete plans are in place for McGregor after the dos Anjos fight, he wouldn't be shocked if the rumblings about McGregor moving up to welterweight to challenge for a third UFC belt end up coming to fruition.
