Conor McGregor made his long-awaited return to the UFC ottagon, but nothing went according to plan after he was defeated by Khab Nurmagomedov in Las Vegas.

The Irish returned to the UFC after two years, but he was completely damaged by Nuragomedov, who in the fourth round forced McGregor to his throat, and then the latter surrendered.
The final result triggered chaotic scenes as Russian potential jumped out of the cage and clashed with McGregor's team, until the Irish was attacked in the ottagon by Nurmagomedov's team.
After this incident, it was rumored that the UFC could take over the title Nurmagomedov, broadcast IndexOnline.

Despite the loss of McGregor remains an attractive star to organize confrontations, and some options are open to it.
So, what's next? Let us see.
Khab Nurmagomedov
After losing at the weekend by Nurmagomedov, McGregor was more inclined for a return to the Russian.
McGregor wrote on Twitter Sunday: ” Good Face. I can't wait to revan”.

For now, chief of The UFC, Dana White, has flatly rejected such a revan, yet in the future you are unaware.
Tony Ferguson
If McGregor wants to continue challenging the UFC, then that would be the most logical context to have.
The duo has a pronounced rivalry among itself, yet not as intensified as between Nuragomedov and McGregor.
If the Irish man were to defeat Ferguson, then he would gain the right to face Nurmagodov again.
Floyd Mayweather
McGregor was said to have won $100 million when he faced Mayweather last year. He stopped in the tenth round, but made a pretty good show.

Mayweather went on to his record with 50 wins, zero losses, and insisted he retired, even though money could play a key role in a confrontation between the two soon.
Anderson Silva
Prior to confronting Nuragomedov, McGregor was asked about his future opponents and one of the surprising names he mentioned was among the biggest UFC history.
Brazil has dominated the middle weights from 2006 to 2013, and in a period, it had 16 consecutive victories. However, the best days of 43-year-olds are behind him, as in the last six confrontations, he has suffered four losses.
Pension
Likely, this is less likely option than coping with Silva.
But, this could happen for McGregor, who financially remains well, as even after the loss by Nuragomedov was paid quite well.
Why should he risk his long-term health in sports after that? His love of sport is great. /Periscopi/
