If Rafael dos Anjos wants to finally face Conor McGregor, “Notorious” is all for it.
But first, McGregor will take on Dustin Poirier.
Dos Anjos topped Paul Felder this past weekend and let it be known that he would like to finally have his bout with McGregor. the Two were scheduled for UFC 196 several years ago, but things fell through.
“Dustin first, but I’m down for it all,” McGregor posted on Twitter. “Throwback to this classic lol. Look at Dana (White) hahahaa. Vintage MMA entertainment.
“El Chap!”

Dos Anjos made his case during a post-fight interview.
“If Khabib (Nurmagomedov) is really retired, it will leave the division wide open,” he said. “I think me and Conor is the fight to make.”
