"F**k man, it's the name of the game. I want to fight him. I want to fight him in Ireland. "I know it's not going to happen in Ireland but that is my dream. To go over there and be in that environment; that sort of chaos. That's what f***ing wakes me up in the morning. "I'll go out there and I'll stand [with him]. If he wants to retire, I can help him on his way out."Ever since Gaethje vacated his World Series of Fighting title, in May 2017, to join the UFC, fans have been anticipating a clash with McGregor. The Arizona native has 17 KO or TKO wins, to date, while 18 of McGregor's 21 career wins have been by KO or TKO. Gaethje was an All-American wrestler but the majority of his MMA victories have been secured through striking. "Both of us [me and Conor] have that skill where we just need to touch you one time," he said. "This is a crazy sport. Just go in there and roll those dice. That is the sort of chaos that I want in my life... Conor is a warrior so this fight might intrigue him." The walking MMA highlight reel says McGregor would struggle to live with his leg-kicks and wrestling and 'the last thing he wants is to be on his back and reaching for the sky'. However, if it gets a bout agreement signed, he is willing to just stand and trade with the Dubliner. https://youtu.be/i-UAQtdSoBw Nice promo there, Gaethje. Now just take a ticket and get in line with Cerrone, Diaz, Iaquinta, Holloway, Poirier, Ferguson, Aldo, Silva and the rest.
