Ever since Donald Cerrone defeated Al Iaquinta in the UFC Ottawa main event last weekend, there’s been renewed interest in a lightweight firefight between the fan favorite gunslinger and former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

While this Cerrone vs. McGregor fight is still purely hypothetical, the Cerrone side of things is working hard to change that.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Twitter on Thursday, Cerrone’s manager took to Twitter in an attempt to goad Conor McGregor into a fight by listing some of his client’s incredible incredible accomplishments.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mother_Function\/status\/1126317893455630337<\/p>\n

“I wouldn\u2019t want to fight him either @TheNotoriousMMA,” Cerrone’s manager wrote.<\/p>\n

Donald Cerrone stirred up interest in this Conor McGregor matchup shortly after he defeated Iaquinta in Ottawa, explaining that he’d accept a fight with the Irishman if he can’t get a title shot instead.<\/a><\/p>\n

“If Conor wants to fight, f*ck yeah, let\u2019s go,” he said. “Especially in July, I\u2019m ready, let\u2019s turn and burn, baby. \u2026 Who knows? I\u2019m gonna be sittin\u2019 at home in a couple of months, bored, like, \u2018F*ck. Fine. I\u2019ll fight whoever, let\u2019s go.\u2019 But I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White also seems to be on board with this matchup<\/a>, admitting it makes sense for the two fan favorites.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Cerrone fight makes sense,\u201d he said on the Jim Rome Show<\/a>. \u201cThere\u2019s a couple different options out there for him. He [McGregor] was talking about the Cerrone fight at one point. I don\u2019t really know but that fight makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you think we’ll see Conor McGregor and Donald Cerrone in this Octagon together this year?<\/p>\n
