Imagine McGregor vs. Diaz
Article By: Scott Zerr
Everybody, every single
MMA fan out there, is
waiting, probably salivat-
ing at the possible show-
down on the horizon be-
tween Donald “Cowboy”
Cerrone and new UFC
featherweight champion
“Notorious” Conor Mc-
Gregor.
Cerrone and McGregor
clearly have bad blood
emanating from the UFC’s
press conference a few
months back when the
Irish star verbally lambast-
ed just about everyone on
the stage. Now with Mc-
Gregor wearing a belt and
wanting to claim at least
one more, the potential
fight is halfway set.
But Cerrone has to make
good on the other half of
the equation, which will
require him taking the
lightweight belt from Ra-
fael Dos Anjos on Saturday
in Orlando.
So what happens if Dos
Anjos retains the crown in
the 155-pound division?
It’s not without reason to
expect that result out of
the Brazilian who has won
four in a row (including his
title-belt win over Anthony
Pettis), nine of his last 10,
and already holds a victory
over Cerrone coming in
2013.
Say Dos Anjos wins. There
are other fights for him at
155 including a rematch
