"There are a lot of options and some might not be in this sport."

What on earth did the above remark mean? A stint in the WWE? An acting gig? A switch to boxing?
Who knows what's next up for the enigmatic McGregor?

UFC president Dana White insists there are only two options on the table for his most valuable cash cow and, unsurprisingly, neither of them relate to former WBA light-welterweight champion Amir Khan.

In the wake of the Irishman's triumphant rematch against Diaz, Khan jumped at the chance to insert himself in the discussion.
After congratulating McGregor on the win, the Olympic silver medallist asked 'The Notorious' to get in touch with him to get the ball rolling on a potentially lucrative boxer vs. mixed martial artist super-fight.
