Conor McGregor warns UFC lightweights

Conor McGregor made a move up the UFC featherweight rankings last Saturday at UFC 178 with a controversial KO win over Dustin Poirier, but the outspoken Irishman has other divisions on his mind as well. "I'm definitely open to fighting at lightweight no doubt," he said after UFC 178.

McGregor fought multiple times at lightweight before entering the UFC. Though he clearly feels that 145 pounds is a good weight for him to campaign at, "Notorious" says he also feels great at 155 pounds.

"I don't like making this weight. I like fighting at lightweight. I fought at lightweight many times in my career," he explained.

"I'm fast at lightweight. I come in refreshed at lightweight. It's a different camp. It's a different buildup when I'm fighting at lightweight than it is fighting at featherweight."

The rising star's coach John Kavanagh has said that he believes McGregor can eventually become a three-division world champ (featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight). Moving up to lightweight successfully seems a bit more reasonable than the 170 pound welterweight limit, for the time being, however.
