On November 12, in the main event of UFC 205, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor will challenge Eddie Alvarez for the organization’s lightweight title.

With “The Notorious” slated to take on Eddie Alvarez for the UFC lightweight title next at UFC 205, which takes place on November 12, there is a possibility we see the trilogy fight take place for the UFC lightweight title.

With that being said however, McGregor ultimately ended up signing to fight Nate Diaz in a rematch at UFC 202 in August, which McGregor won via majority decision.

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has earned the reputation as not only one of the best trash talkers in the business, but also as someone who is extremely good at gaining a mental edge over his opponents. McGregor has been able to carefully find weak spots in his opponents mental psyche, which he then uses to get them emotionally invested in the fight, making them more likely to be overly aggressive and reckless come fight-night.
