Conor McGregor Is NOT Getting The Next UFC Lightweight Title Shot, Huge Title Fight Announced

But Dana White and Co have other plans for Oliveira​, matching him up with rightful top contender Justin Gaethje.

The blockbuster bout between Oliveira​ and Gaethje will headline the upcoming UFC 274 card scheduled on May 7. 

It will be Oliveira​'s second UFC lightweight title defence following his victory over Poirier at UFC 269.

He's on an impressive 10-fight winning streak having beaten the likes of Kevin Lee, Tony Ferguson and Michael Chandler. 

As for Gaethje, he earned his shot at UFC gold after out-pointing Chandler in a war. 

It will be his second official UFC title fight having lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov for the undisputed crown. 

So, McGregor will have to claim a win before potentially challenging for the 155lbs belt. 

And if Oliveira​ is still in possession of the strap, then Chael Sonnen likes McGregor's chances. 

"Charles Oliveira-Conor McGregor is a fascinating matchup. It is very problematic for Oliveira," he explained.

"Conor McGregor is as good of a striker as this sport has ever seen.

"Oliveira is a very dynamic striker who showed some real wrestling prowess in a couple of contests but in other contests didn’t."

McGregor hasn't fought since last summer when he lost to Poirier. 

​The 'Notorious' held the UFC lightweight title in 2016, but was later stripped due to inactivity. 

His last UFC title fight came in his defeat to arch rival Nurmagomedov.
