Former two division UFC champion Conor McGregor is expected to fight former Bellator Lightweight Champion Michael Chandler once the upcoming season of TUF concludes.

McGregor feels that if he can get past Chandler, then he should get a crack at the UFC Welterweight Title.

“Yeah, I’d like [a welterweight title shot],” McGregor said on The MMA Hour (transcript via Steven Marrocco of MMA Fighting). “So I would like that.”

Leon Edwards is the current UFC Welterweight Champion and he defends the gold against former champion Kamaru Usman this Saturday Night in the main event of UFC 286.
