Conor McGregor has his eye on a third UFC championship, and that would be against one Kamaru Usman (20-1).

Oddsmakers at SportsBetting.ag have made Usman the big -700 favorite.  McGregor would pay $450 on a $100 bet.

McGregor (22-6) hasn't fought since he suffered a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 last July. The fight ended in the first round, when McGregor broke the tibia and fibula bones in his left leg. He underwent surgery that same month and has been recovering since.

"Myself versus Usman for the 170-pound title in my comeback fight is the one I'm eyeballing at the minute," said McGregor, in an interview released on his YouTube channel, "MacLife." "Why cut the weight? I've already won the 155-pound title. I got myself to a lightweight frame, but you know, I'm big now. I feel big. I feel strong. I feel healthy. I've got good energy. I'm coming back from a gruesome injury. I don't want to be depleting myself. There should be no need to deplete myself.

"And I feel confident against Usman -- a jab-happy, sloppy, orthodox wrestler with no submissions whatsoever. What's he going to do? Where's the danger here? I don't see danger. ... No one has ever obtained three titles in three divisions like I will do if we make this fight."

Such a fight would be considered lopsided but guaranteed money for the books.  Fights featuring McGregor have proven to be record shattering in recent years.
