Conor McGregor Reveals One Condition He’d Be Willing To Fight In Co-Headliner

Conor McGregor reveals the one condition that he would accept a co-headliner spot at a UFC pay-per-view event.

McGregor lost to UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in the headliner of UFC 229 from Las Vegas, Nevada. Following the fight, the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion made it clear that he’s going to fight again. Since then, it has been delayed due to him being suspended by the NSAC.

He’s been linked to a showdown against former title contender Donald Cerrone for a showdown on July 6th as part of International Fight week in Las Vegas.

However, it appears that fight may not be happening. One reason this fight and McGregor’s return has been delayed is due to the UFC offering them the co-headliner spot.

While speaking with fans in Chicago over the weekend, McGregor revealed that he would be fine with serving as the co-main event. The catch is the UFC must give him his rightful shares in the company.

“I’m ready to fight,” McGregor said (H/T to MMAFighting). “I’ve said that, no problem. If the UFC wants me to slide into that co-main event and help, what that is, me sliding into the co-main event, it’s boosting their brand over fighter rhetoric that they have. There’s no problem with that. But if they want me to push that – and I have no problem pushing that – give me my rightful shares in the UFC company. That’s all I ask. You can put me on the first fight of ESPN+, no problem. So let’s see how it goes.”
