Despite both fighters showing interest in facing each other, Dana White has stated a fight between Conor McGregor and Donald Cerrone is nowhere near close to happening.
Both fighters have exchanged words in the past, most infamously at the UFC’s ‘Go Big’ press conference in 2015. However it was after Cerrone’s most recent win against Alexander Hernandez at UFC Brooklyn last month that McGregor posted a tweet saying he would fight ‘Cowboy.’
It didn’t take long for Cerrone to reply to McGregor’s message, posting a picture on his Instagram account showing his interest in the fight.
