Donald Cerrone dominated Alexander Hernandez and won by technical knockout at 3:43 of the second round at UFC Brooklyn. With his beautiful performance on his return to lightweight, 'Cowboy' made Conor McGregor respond to the challenge undertaken in the past. Through his social networks, the Irishman congratulated him and accepted a fight with the veteran.

“For a fight like this Donald, I will face you. Congratulations,” wrote McGregor.
Even accepting the duel, the Irishman remains preventively suspended by the Nevada Athletic Commission after the widespread fight at UFC 229. In order to return to the octagon, Conor will undergo a committee trial to analyze his participation in the confusion.
After being defeated by Khabib Nurmagomedov, McGregor asked the UFC to give him a title rematch. However, he agreed to have a fight before facing his archrival again. A victory over Cerrone could put him back in contention for the lightweight belt.
For a fight like that Donald, I'll fight you.
Congratulations— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) 20 January 2019
