McGregor previously stated that he does not consider Ian the best boxer in the UFC, expressing confidence that he would tear him apart. The Russian, in turn, offered the Irishman to fight in any weight and according to any rules.
“No problem, kid, let's spar in Ireland. We will host you and your team at one of our shows at the cramlin boxing club. Then we'll decide everything, boy. God bless you," tweeted McGregor, who continues to recover from a broken leg.
