It was mentioned that he is semi-retired and would only comeback for an intriguing fight. Conor needs a tune up fight, had no problem calling Diego Sanchez. Meanwhile Joe Lauzon was from TUF 5 which was fought and won by Nate. Oddly enough, he never fought Nate but he has a win over Diego and Mac who are two TUF winners.
So I think Joe Lauzon would be a great fight and not to mention that Conor was supposed to fight Cole Miller until Cole threw a hissy fit about money or something and so lets see Lauzon vs McGregor.
Conor could win this fight with mid-difficulty if Joe does not activate his ground skills to wear him down and that would be a tough night for Conor 4 sure!
