Yair Rodriguez has called out Conor McGregor for a miracle fight.
He took to Twitter and had a very creative way to call out the Irishman for a fight.
“’St. McGregor’ @thenotoriousmma make me the miracle. The miracle of facing the biggest fans in this world. Mexico vs Ireland.” – Yair Rodriguez.
Yair Rodriguez is coming off of a decision win over Jeremy Stephens at UFC Boston a few weeks ago. Before that, he had the no-contest to Stephens and a last-second knockout win over Chan Sung Jung. His only blemish in his UFC career is a TKO loss to Frankie Edgar.
The Mexican also has wins over B.J. Penn, Dan Hooker, Alex Caceres, Andre Fili, and Charles Rosa among others.
Conor McGregor, meanwhile, has not fought since his UFC 229 loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov. He has since claimed he is fighting on Jan. 18 but the opponent has not been announced. It is rumored it will be against Donald Cerrone.
Yet, Rodriguez has called for the fight, but whether or not he would move up to lightweight for it is unknown. It seems highly unlikely McGregor will return to featherweight as he has had trouble making that weight before.
Whether or not Yair Rodriguez is the opponent for McGregor is unknown.
