Even in defeat, Conor McGregor’s star appeal continues to grow.

The 29-year-old stormed to the top of mixed martial arts when he won the UFC featherweight and UFC lightweight world titles.

Though he recently lost to Floyd Mayweather, there are a number of potential opponents for McGregor — in UFC and in boxing.

“I’m certainly open to hearing what [UFC owners] WME-IMG wants and what Showtime wants, and if they want me to come over to boxing then we can talk,” McGregor told reporters at the post-fight press conference.

“I’m open to all options,” he added. “I have many options in mixed martial arts. I could always continue in the boxing game.”

With that in mind, we have put together a list of 9 potential opponents for McGregor. Most are from the world of mixed martial arts, but a couple are from the sport of boxing.
