Conor McGregor: Joe Rogan thinks Dana White's latest move will set up title fight

Joe Rogan believes he has worked out what Dana White has planned for Conor McGregor by analysing the UFC president’s plans for Islam Makhachev.

Rogan has been a bit part of the UFC product for decades now and has been a massive part of the comaniy’s massive growth since White took charge.

Speaking on his podcast the Rogan experience he said:

“If Dana said that Makhachev now has to fight Beneil Dariush before he could fight for the title, I think that sets up the Conor fight… that’s probably why he did it.”

Rogan was joined by Michael Bisping who was in agreement and also added that he believes a bout between McGregor and current champion Charles Oliveira would be a dream match.

“If there’s a person that you’d put him against in the top five to beat, it’s Charles Oliveira… Charles is hittable and Conor can still f****** hit,” said Bisping.

“He’s fast and Charles is hittable.”

However, Oliveira will have to successfully defend his title against Justin Gaethje at UFC 274 if a match against the Irishman is to be in his future.

Rogan, who commentates on UFC events, isn’t as positive about McGregors chances against Gaethje should he capture the gold on May 7.

“If Gaethje beats Oliveira, Gaethje vs Conor is a dangerous fight for Conor because who kicks your legs better than Gaethje,” said Rogan.

“His leg kicks are some of the best in the game and he also is a great wrestler too. Gaethje will kick your leg from inside a tie-up (wrestling clinch)”

The Notorious one’s last two UFC contests have ended in TKO defeats at the hands of Dustin Poirier.

More recently McGregor has flirted with the idea of purchasing Chelsea football club from the club’s owner Roman Abramovic.
