Fans hoping to see former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor fight Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone next are about to be disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFC President Dana White recently told ESPN’<\/a>s Brett Okamoto that the promotion is moving on from the rumored matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Yea, so the fight just didn’t happen,”<\/em> explained White. “You know Conor\u2026 What Conor McGregor really wants is to fight Khabib. That’s the fight Conor really wants.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conor McGregor was submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov in the main event of UFC 229<\/a> this past October in Las Vegas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dana White continued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“So, let Conor McGregor figure out what’s next. But in the meanwhile, ‘Cowboy’ was just in my office, and you know him. He wants to fight. He’s ready to fight again.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Cerrone most recently competed at January’s UFC on ESPN+ event, where he finished Alex Hernandez<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“So we are looking at another opponent (for Cerrone).”<\/em> Dane White concluded. “We are looking at maybe him and ‘Raging Al’.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al Iaquinta has been calling for a fight<\/a> with Tony Ferguson<\/a> in recent days, but maybe a showdown with “Cowboy<\/a>” will be enough to lure the Long Island native back into the cage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Conor McGregor, asked when fight fans could anticipate the Irish stars return, Dana White responded with the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’ll see Conor fight probably in the fall.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
