Owen Roddy wants to see Conor McGregor fight Donald Cerrone next

Conor McGregor’s striking coach would like to see the former UFC lightweight champion fight Donald Cerrone in his next fight.

McGregor was given a six-month suspension by the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) Monday for his involvement in the infamous brawl that followed his fourth-round submission loss to current champ Khabib Nurmagomedov last October. “The Notorious” will be eligible to return to the cage April 6.

With a potential McGregor return looming, his coach Owen Roddy hopes his next opponent is “Cowboy,” who stopped up-and-comer Alex Hernandez via TKO earlier this month at UFC Brooklyn.

“It’s a fan favorite fight,” Roddy told MMA Fighting’s Eurobash podcast.
