LAS VEGAS – When Irish featherweight Conor McGregor (13-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC), heard he was getting a new opponent at next month’s UFC Fight Night 26 event (formerly known as UFC on FOX Sports 1 1), he offered up an idea for UFC matchmaker Sean Shelby: top-ranked 145-pounder Ricardo Lamas (13-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC). “I wanted Rircardo Lamas,” McGregor admitted Wednesday at a press luncheon in Las Vegas. McGregor was originally slated to meet Andy Ogle at the event, which takes place on Aug. 17 at Boston’s TD Garden. When Ogle was forced to withdraw from the card, McGregor was in need of a new opponent.
