One of those that was impressed was the former UFC lightweight champion, Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his continual looking for &#8216;big&#8217; &#8216;money fights&#8217;, since <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/conor-mcgregor\/ufc-229-results-khabib-nurmagomedov-stops-conor-mcgregor-video\/\">his most recent defeat at UFC 229<\/a>, Conor McGregor has seemed <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/coach-says-conor-mcgregor-vs-donald-cerrone-fight-might-be-in-the-pipeline\/\">more open to other options<\/a> and he made that clear after Cerrone&#8217;s victory when he mentioned him by name in a tweet that immediately followed the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UFC President Dana White is, of course, on board with the idea of this fan-friendly matchup as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;d like to see Conor fight this Summer, those two want to fight each other; they\u2019ve both earned it,\u201d White told <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"MMAjunkie (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sUJ-CIx9kIQ\" target=\"_blank\">MMAjunkie<\/a> following the UFC 234 pre-fight press conference in Australia. \u201cCowboy\u2019s fought anybody we\u2019ve ever put against him. We throw this young killer Hernandez at him, Cowboy\u2019s the underdog and he goes in and does it the way he did it, then Conor\u2019s fought <g class=\"gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"5\" data-gr-id=\"5\">everybody<\/g>. If these two want to fight, I\u2019m down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for another one of the UFC&#8217;s biggest stars, Daniel Cormier had one hell of a 2018 but there are a lot of question marks going into 2019 as Cormier has been vocal about it being his last year competing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, despite Cormier&#8217;s plan to retire by his 40th birthday in March, White sees other possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s on a timeline, DC&#8217;s hurt,&#8221; White said. &#8220;He was talkin&#8217; about retirement, you know me, I&#8217;m the first guy to say when somebody needs to retire\u2026 That guy doesn&#8217;t need to retire, he&#8217;s the man. I think he&#8217;s probably got three fights left in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In a perfect world, which we know this isn&#8217;t a perfect world, I think you see Brock [Lesnar], I think you see Stipe [Miocic], and hopefully Jon Jones. And those are his three [and] he&#8217;ll go out with a bang, man. Then he&#8217;ll probably retire.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How many of these potential matchups do you think we&#8217;ll see this year if any?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\"><em>BJPenn.com<\/em><\/a><em> on 2\/7\/2019<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald &#8216;Cowboy&#8217; Cerrone has officially returned to the lightweight division.
