It seems that everybody wants a piece of Conor McGregor as a ton of people in the UFC expressed their desire to fight him. In fact, even UFC Bantamweight Champion, TJ Dillashaw, says that he wants to do a champion vs champion Superfight with McGregor.
Chad Mendes losing to McGregor dealt a huge blow to Team Alpha Male and it seems that Dillashaw wants to take revenge for the sake of Mendes when McGregor knocked him out.
Fox Sports reported that in an interview with Submission Radio, Dillashaw admitted that he wants to fight McGregor in a champion vs champion superfight. He further states that he wants to do the fight soon because he doesn't believe that McGregor would be a champion for long.
"I don't think he's gonna last that long. I would like to do it now if I could, because I don't think he's going to last and be champion forever," said Dillashaw.
Dillashaw stated that McGregor would eventually lose soon as he notes that Mendes showed a lot of holes in McGregor's game. He added that he doesn't believe that McGregor would be able to beat Frankie Edgar or Jose Aldo.
"He's definitely going to get beat. I think Mendes showed the holes in his game, and I think people will take advantage of it. I think Chad Mendes beats him, I think Frankie Edgar beats him. You know, I don't know if he's going to beat [Jose] Aldo after watching that," Dillashaw said.
Dillashaw also stated that he believes that Chad Mendes would have beat McGregor if Mendes had a full training camp.
"I mean, he got 10 days to train for a guy that's been training for three months for a title fight, you know, and Chad always had to work really hard to get in peak conditioning shape anyways because of the way he's built. So it was hard to even think that Chad would have enough cardio to last five rounds," he said. He went on to say, "I know he has the skills to do it, and he showed that in the fight. He was dominating the two rounds until the very end of the second round, and I still feel like it got stopped a little early."
Until that fight happens though, McGregor should fight Jose Aldo for a title unification bout.
According to MMA Junkie, Aldo admitted that his injuries have healed and that he is just waiting for the UFC to schedule his fight with McGregor.
