Helwani: McGregor is planning 3 fights next year

A well-known journalist and MMA insider Ariel Helwani in his recent interview said that the former UFC champion in two weight categories Conor McGregor plans to fight three times next year.

"So he [Conor] wants to fight three times next year. That's a pretty lofty goal, but he believes that when he is active, he is not distracted, he does not get into trouble. He is fighting on January 18. Then he intends to return in the spring or summer and fight against Masvidal or Diaz. And then, in the end, he wants to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov in Moscow, if he still is a champion..." Helwani said.
