Conor has called out long-time foe Jose Aldo for a boxing match.
The pair have crossed paths once before back in 2015 at UFC 194. On that occasion, McGregor knocked Aldo out in 13 seconds to shock the world and become the UFC Featherweight champion.
The Irishman went on to win Lightweight gold and become the first double-champion in UFC history, while Aldo reclaimed his Featherweight crown a few months later. Talks of a rematch between the pair have cropped up occasionally, but a sequel has yet to materialise.

McGregor certainly wouldn't mind another crack at the man that made him a global superstar, and taking to Twitter, the Dubliner has challenged Aldo to a rematch under boxing rules.
"Me and Aldo should box," wrote the Irishman on Twitter last night.
Shortly after McGregor's post, Aldo responded to the challenge and told McGregor in no uncertain terms to keep his mouth shut.
In an expletive laden rant, Aldo said "Conor has a big mouth. He always talks a lot of s***. He's got a scheduled fight.
"Conor, shut your f****** mouth.
"We were supposed to fight before in the UFC. You run, and now you still talk s***.
While a scrap with Aldo may be a non-runner, McGregor has enough on his plate heading into the summer months of 2023.
The former two-weight champion takes on Michael Chandler later this year in his return to the octagon. It will be McGregor's first bout for the promotion since he suffered a serious leg injury in defeat to Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
