Conor McGregor might be holding the UFC featherweight division "hostage" but he's also causing turmoil at 170 pounds.
McGregor moves up to welterweight to face lightweight contender Nate Diaz March 5 at UFC 196, but he's already got serious plans for the division. If McGregor can top Diaz Saturday night in Las Vegas, he wants to challenge welterweight champ Robbie Lawler at UFC 200 in July.
Welterweight contender Matt Brown doesn't hate the idea one bit. He actually endorses it.
"I can understand [UFC] giving it to Conor," Brown said on the Great MMA Debate podcast.
