In his typical fashion, Conor McGregor has not been coy about his lofty goals. Now that he is the undisputed UFC featherweight champion, he wants to lay claim to the lightweight belt… and defend them both. While that is unheard of in the UFC, it’s something that UFC president Dana White is open to exploring. RELATED > The Conor McGregor Show Took Center Stage at UFC 194 “Conor has said he’d like to win the 155-poundbelt, and fight four times a year, and defend both belts,” White said on Wednesday night’s edition of UFC Tonight. “If anybody can do it, Conor McGregor can. He’s done everything he’s said he would. I’m interested.” Although a fighter would typically have to vacate the current championship if he or she wants to move up a weight class to fight for another belt, White believes that McGregor is someone that could manage defending two belts concurrently.
