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.
