UFC chief Dana White wants three more Conor McGregor fights this year as he discusses Mayweather, Masvidal and Khabib
DANA WHITE thinks it's going to be a busy 2020 for Conor McGregor as he targets three more fights for the superstar.
The UFC chief was delighted to see the Irishman, 31, return to the Octagon with a barnstorming win over Donald Cerrone.
And he discussed Notorious' next move after he took aim at Jorge Masvidal following his first-round demolition of Cowboy.
White said: "Lots of things make sense but I need to see what Conor wants to do.
“I want Conor to fight three more times this year. I want to see Conor vs Masvidal but I think Conor vs Khabib is so good for their legacies. That is the fight to make.
“Putting that fight in the new Las Vegas Raiders stadium would be good but it could go anywhere. We need to sit down and look at what makes the most sense.”
After the fight McGregor called out Kamaru Usman and third-ranked Masvidal, who were both ringside to see the drama unfold in Sin City.

McGregor said: "Anyone of these little melty fools can get it. All of them, every single one of them. It does not matter. I'm back and I'm ready."
But White revealed that McGregor is "obsessed" with securiong a rematch against Khabib Nurmagomedov.
He added: "Everybody wants to fight Conor.
“Conor said going into the Khabib fight he had personal stuff and injuries.
“He has been obsessed with getting the rematch but when you at this as Khabib, to be 28-0 as a world champion, and how he won the first fight and how famous he became, we are looking at Hagler vs Hearns and Ali vs Frazier."
Floyd Mayweather appeared to confirm he would face McGregor in 2020 by uploading a poster marketing a rematch to his Instagram.
