LAS VEGAS – Nik Lentz once thought that keeping his head down and winning fights was enough to succeed in the UFC. Then, he said, a fight with Conor McGregor was taken from him. Lentz (29-9-2 MMA, 13-6-1 UFC), who starched veteran Gray Maynard (13-7-1 MMA, 11-7-1 UFC) on UFC 229’s preliminary card, claims he once was in line for a fight with McGregor. But someone made sure that didn’t happen. “It was my time to fight Conor,” Lentz said backstage at T-Mobile Arena, which hosted his UFC Fight Pass-streamed bout
