Not long ago, in the main event of UFC 202, Conor McGregor stole a majority decision from Nate Diaz, avenging an earlier loss to the same man and reestablishing himself as one of the game’s best fighters with the win. The strange thing about McGregor, however, is that he’s spent the entirety of his UFC career fighting at weight classes that do not appear to be the ideal fit for him. At featherweight, where he won the divisional title, he faced a brutal weight cut. At welterweight, where he would go 1-1 with Diaz, he was clearly undersized. Yet now that he’s achieved his title goals at featherweight, and avenged his welterweight loss to Diaz, the Irishman appears poised to shift to the division that seems to be his best fit: lightweight.
