We’re three weeks away from a pivotal moment in the UFC’s lightweight division. In the UFC 223 main event, which takes place April 7 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. with a main card on pay-per-view, Khabib Nurmagomedov (25-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) will challenge interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson (23-3 MMA, 13-1 UFC). The winner apparently will become the undisputed 155-pound champ – which means current titleholder Conor McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) will be stripped of his belt once someone gets his hand raised. But considering McGregor hasn’t defended his lightweight title since winning it in November 2016, choosing instead to box Floyd Mayweather in a massive moneymaker, we wondered just how much confidence you all have that McGregor will manage to make his way back to the octagon sometime in 2018 to take on the Ferguson-Nurmagomedov winner, presumably in an effort to get his title back.
