Speaking Tuesday with Ireland’s entertainment.ie to promote his upcoming documentary Conor McGregor: Notorious, McGregor spoke about his options for his next fight and revealed that a title unification bout against UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson appears to be the frontrunner for his next move.
“I’ve got everyone clawing at me, trying to get at me, and that’s from multiple sports, multiple organizations, multiple everything,” McGregor said. “It’s been like that for a long, long time, I feel, so it’s just another day for me. I know there are many contenders in the UFC. There are many boxing contenders as well. What interests me is certainly a UFC bout, certainly a defense of my lightweight title. There is a fighter with the interim lightweight belt. I feel that will be next. We’ll see how negotiations go.”
