Conor McGregor went head-to-head with rival Khabib Nurmagomedov back in 2018 in one of the biggest fights in the MMA history
Following his stellar performance in Riyadh, where he secured a split-decision victory over former champ AJ McKee, Ireland's rising star Paul Hughes has extended an intriguing invitation to none other than Conor McGregor.
"We want to see Ireland v Dagestan, we want to see Paul Hughes v Usman Nurmagomedov for the Bellator lightweight title. Let's go!" Taking it a step further, he suggested an ideal scenario where 'The Notorious' Conor McGregor could get involved, offering the famed fighter a chance for indirect retribution by cornering him against Khabib's relative, Usman Nurmagomedov.
"Someone clip this," Hughes urged the press during his post-bout presser. "Conor, I want you in my corner for that fight, 100 per cent, how cool would that be? We might need some extra security that night, Oscar talk to the man. We might need some more security but I'm down for it, I think it would be fun."
