UFC Featherweight Title contender Conor McGregor believes he's going to run roughshod through the featherweight division, and thinks he'd do the same at lightweight.
Well, UFC Lightweight Champ Rafael dos Anjos doesn't think that's going to end well for McGregor if it happens, ripping the out-spoken challenger on Twitter.
Hey @TheNotoriousMMA for a guy who has no defense you talk a lot. If you come to 155 you will be finished by at least 5 people in one round
Penick's Analysis: If McGregor gets past Aldo and eventually makes his way to lightweight, it's possible he'd be competitive there. That said, while he's big for a featherweight, he wouldn't be as big in the lightweight division, and there are some guys who might be very bad stylistic matchups for him there. Of course, it's another one of those conversations that won't be relevant until McGregor actually attempts the move.
