Conor McGregor, aka 'Chump', was urged to fight Tony Ferguson in a 'winnable bout' for UFC's return by an ex-champion

CONOR MCGREGOR was urged to fight Tony Ferguson in a "winnable bout" for his UFC return.

The Notorious has now lost three of his four previous 155lbs bouts, most recently losing back-to-back to Dustin Poirier, former interim champion.

McGregor, 33 years old, seems to be preparing to jump back in with a top competitor in the stacked category for his comeback later in the year.

Henry Cejudo, a former champion in two-divisions, believes that the Irishman should face Tony Ferguson, who has lost four of his last four.

He said that he liked the fight between Tony Ferguson and Conor McGregor on a recent episode. Conor can win that fight, I believe.

"He can't be competing at this high-level level, he's going to get hurt."

"He's going to continue getting hurt, you know exactly what I'm talking about?"

Cejudo believes McGregor should fight ex-interim lightweight king Ferguson to get a tune up fight because of his inactivity over the past few years.

He said, "I think he goes up to Tony, and then perhaps, of course he's cash cow, give his whoever he wishes at 55 or 70. But I think he needs get his feet under him."

"At least f ****** win man. "Win a damn fight."

Cejudo regularly criticizes McGregor's training videos. He believes that there are many "flaws” in Mystic Mac’s game.

He stated that he critiques Conor McGregor's videos, and makes a living doing so. He has a lot of flaws, which is why it's so crazy.

"As great as he was in his past, there are still many flaws that remain that he isn't fixing." That chump is still my problem."

McGregor is now in the final stages in recovering from his horrific leg injury sustained in his fight with Poirier in July.

Although the pride of Dublin was hoping to make a summer return, UFC president Dana White said that he expects to see him back in action in the fall.
