CHICAGO – Donald Cerrone said after his recent win over Al Iaquinta that he wanted either a title shot or a clash with Conor McGregor . If he beats Tony Ferguson at UFC 238, though, he said the options narrow down to one. A matchup between Cerrone (36-11 MMA, 23-8 UFC) and McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) has been a talking point for the better part of a year, but it hasn’t materialized. “Cowboy” has been accused of simply chasing a “money” fight, but he has explained in the past that fighting the Irishman doesn’t bring a significant additional financial gain . Should Cerrone beat Ferguson (24-3 MMA, 14-1 UFC) at UFC 238 on Saturday, however, “The Notorious” may come calling for a matchup. Cerrone reiterated what he’s said in the past about moving on from the matchup, and even if presented with a larger contract, would take a title shot if that was offered, instead.
