Looking ahead, Lockhart considers potential matchups for McGregor, favoring fights that reignite his competitive edge without risking overexposure or burnout. He suggests that rematches, such as with Khabib or Diaz, remain high on the list due to their emotional and stylistic significance.
He advocates for strategic pacing and realistic planning, emphasizing that fighters like McGregor need to rebuild endurance and sharpness beyond the immediate post-fight hype. The goal, he states, is for McGregor to be "sword-sharp" in future rematches, avoiding long layoffs and distractions like Hollywood pursuits or media obligations.
