Real Champs fight top contenders and defend their belts. McGregor wants no part of either one of these guys. Ferguson or Lee will actually defend the belt when they win it. Ferguson is on a 9 fight winning streak against 155 lb guys. Do you think that McGregor would have agreed to fight Khabib like Ferguson did?
McGregor is a paper Champ that hand picks his battles. Diaz is not the top contender.
RE the Diaz fight. If Diaz is not training and planning to take McGregor down early then that is idiotic. He has a clear advantage on the ground. To McGregor's credit he is usually able to hurt guys early while standing but he loses his punching power later in the fight. If Diaz gets the fight to the ground early then he probably submits McGregor or wins the fight in the later rounds.
