Donald Cerrone Addresses a Potential Conor McGregor Fight

Speaking to reporters in a post-fight media scrum after his win at UFC on ESPN+ 1 (via MMAjunkie), UFC fighter Donald Cerrone discussed his win over Alexander Hernandez. Below are some highlights.

Cerrone on a potential fight with McGregor: “He dictates everything, man. I can say yes. Well, I can’t say I’ll fight anybody anymore, because now I told my team I’ll take it easy. I want a top-five guy. Conor’s (No.) 2. That equals top-five to me. He’s the master of talking (expletive). I’m sure he’ll try and get under my skin. It will be fun.”

Donald Cerrone on when he’d like to fight again: “March, April, May – the sun’s out. I can bring my boat and RV to (Las) Vegas. I’m sure it will be in Vegas, or Ireland. (Expletive) yeah. Let’s go.”

After Cerrone won his bout, former UFC champion Conor McGregor tweeted out, “For a fight like that Donald, I’ll fight you. Congratulations.” However, McGregor is still waiting to get his issues stemming from the post-fight brawl from his fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov worked out. A fight with Cerrone could not be made until such time.

For a fight like that Donald, I’ll fight you.
Congratulations.
