Conor McGregor after Donald Cerrone's win at UFC on ESPN+ 1: 'I'll fight you'

[jwplayer 8JIFBMmH-FLu19iir]

Conor McGregor is down to fight Donald Cerrone after a spectacular showing from “Cowboy” at UFC on ESPN+ 1.

Cerrone (35-11 MMA, 22-8 UFC) put on one of the finest performances of his career when he dismantled Alexander Hernandez (10-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) for a second-round TKO on Saturday night at Barclays Center in his return to lightweight.

Even prior to the card, Cerrone said he was interested in a matchup with former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC). However, he knew it would only come on the Irishman’s terms.

Well, it would appear “The Notorious” is all for it (via Twitter):

McGregor is coming off a fourth-round submission loss to UFC champ Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October. He is awaiting punishment for his role in the post-fight melee, which could come on or before his Nevada State Athletic Commission hearing on Jan. 29.

Once that’s all cleared up, a matchup with Cerrone could be next.
