For all intents and purposes, Conor McGregor has accomplished nothing inside the UFC octagon in five years. And yet, he thinks he’s a legit lightweight title contender. McGregor, of course, is a master of keeping his name in the headlines, and his latest statement that he can come back from his broken leg and fight “whoever the f*ck has that LW title” raised eyebrows. Perhaps McGregor’s next fight is dependent on the outcome of next week’s UFC 269 title fight between champion Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier, who’s up 2-1 on McGregor in their trilogy after back-to-back wins, but nothing changes the fact that McGregor is 1-3 in his past four fights, with his only victory coming at welterweight against a past-his-prime Donald Cerrone. Still, is there a scenario in which it would make sense for McGregor to get a title shot in his UFC return? Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Matthew Wells, “Gorgeous” George Garcia and Brian “Goze” Garcia answer that question with host John Morgan.
