Ray Longo Wants Iaquinta to Fight Conor McGregor Next

In the wake of the biggest win of Al Iaquinta’s career, his head coach Ray Longo, has revealed Conor McGregor is next on his personal wish list.

Iaquinta faced Kevin Lee in a rematch in the main event of UFC on Fox 31 on Saturday and showcased his impressive all-round game in securing a unanimous decision victory over five rounds. “Raging Al” has now won six of his last seven fights with the sole loss coming earlier this year against undefeated lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov on one day’s notice.

Longo was a guest on a recent episode of “The MMA Hour” and told host Luke Thomas he wants his fighter to face off against Irish superstar Conor McGregor next.
