Conor McGregor has been warned that he may have to wait even longer for a welterweight title opportunity after Leon Edwards' upset victory over Kamaru Usman in August.
The Irishman has already been featherweight and lightweight champion simultaneously in the UFC, becoming the first fighter ever to complete such an accomplishment. But he has set his sights on further history by targeting the welterweight title and former champion Kamaru Usman when he returns to action next year.
However, legendary former title contender Chael Sonnen believes that Usman losing the title to Edwards at UFC 278 in a shock defeat has cost McGregor that opportunity. Heading into the fight, Usman was seemingly unbeatable and with a win would have beaten three of his top ten contenders on two separate occasions each.
