McGregor is confident he will fight for the lightweight title

Former UFC two weight division champion Conor McGregor announced that he expects to have a lightweight title fight upon his return to the octagon.

"Hi guys! I will face the next UFC lightweight champion. Deal with it. Take off your rose-colored glasses and mark the Nate Diaz trilogy unfinished. This will also need to be dealt with. All the rest - after. Deal with it,” wrote Conor.

McGregor was injured during the third fight with Dustin Poirier, which took place in July this year. The Irishman was unable to continue the fight, losing by TKO.
