However, in order for the organization's leadership to consider the possibility of this confrontation, Edward needs to defend his title against the claims of Belal Muhammad in late July, and McGregor a month earlier to take on Michael Chandler in his return after a three-year hiatus.
"Let's give Conor a chance to be the UFC champion in three weight classes and give me a chance to take McGregor out. It would be great to have this fight in November in New York. If he beats Michael Chandler and I beat Belal, we can do it. New York, Madison Square Garden, let's go! It's a fight that needs to happen," Edwards said on The MMA Hour show.
