Ilia Topuria calls out Conor McGregor for a fight in Spain

'El Matador' has often spoken about his desire to bring the UFC to Spain, and in his post-fight octagon interview at UFC 298, he took the mic to call out Conor McGregor as his opponent of choice for a card in his home country.

Speaking to Joe Rogan after knocking out Alexander Volkanovski in the second round, Topuria said:

"Dana, Hunter, it's showtime, It's time to send the UFC to Spain. And Conor McGregor, if you still have some balls, I'll be waiting for you in Spain."

Check out the clip here (2:39 for Topuria's comments):

McGregor himself is a former featherweight champion and found most of his success in the UFC at 145 pounds.

Since then, the Irishman has moved up multiple weight classes, so it's unlikely the fight comes to fruition as things stand. That being said, Topuria has also fought at lightweight in the past, meaning there is a possibility, albeit a slim one, that the two end up facing off in the future.
