Over the last few months, the fight world has been abuzz about a potential showdown between lightweight stars Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Conor McGregor. Both fighters seemed to like the matchup, UFC President Dana White was apparently on board, and of course, every fight fan with a pulse was eager to see it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately,\u00a0it now sounds as though the fight has\u00a0hit\u00a0a\u00a0snag.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Both UFC commentator Joe Rogan<\/a> and Cowboy himself <\/a>have stated the UFC wants this fight to co-headline a pay-per-view, but that Conor McGregor has no interest in playing second-fiddle to anybody. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cConor won\u2019t fight unless it\u2019s a main event,\u201d Cerrone said in a recent interview with ESPN. \u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s an ego thing or a status thing for him. I don\u2019t give a s\u2014. I\u2019ll fight anyone, anywhere, and I stand by that all the time. I guess he\u2019s a prima donna and only takes main event spots, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe were all waiting on Conor for April, and he said he wasn\u2019t ready,\u201d Cerrone added later. \u201cI don\u2019t know how in one breath you can say, \u2018I\u2019ll fight anyone, anytime, anywhere,\u2019 and the next one say, \u2018I\u2019m not ready for that one.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m more annoyed that he went radio silent after putting it out. I get it, you want to stay relevant by putting it out there, but then you can\u2019t go radio silent. Sack up, b\u2014-. Sign the f\u2014ing paper.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the opinion of former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell, it would be foolish of the UFC to schedule a McGregor vs. Cowboy fight for a co-main event spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Liddell broke it down in an interview with TMZ:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
