CONOR MCGREGOR accepted Michael Chandler's UFC 274 callout.
After his spectacular KO of Tony Ferguson, Chandler, a three-time Bellator lightweight champ, made a run for The Notorious.
The Notorious was quick to accept Chandler's call-out.
The UFC's poster child, who watched the stacked cards until the early hours of the morning, accepted the bout offer.
He tweeted: "I would have a nice knockoff this guy, without doubt about it."
"A firework spectacle. The 170 shout is also very appealing to me. Tipped him over.
"I am definitely open to fighting this man at some point in my career. It will happen after tonight.

"Congratulations Michael on your solid win and another barnstormer."
Chandler's call to McGregor, a MMA mogul, was preceeded by a message for fellow lightweights Justin Gaetheje & Charles Oliveira. It was a lively exchange.
He roared, "I'm ready for you to come back."
"The main event; there are not many MMA fans who don't want me to rematch Charles or rematch Justin Gaethje.
"If the UFC has a momentary lapse, and give the title shot someone else, I have one dude in my head.
"Conor McGregor: I'm the most entertaining lightweight in the world." You can be your worst and your best. I'm at 170lb.
McGregor, 33 years old, hasn’t been inside the Octagon since breaking his leg during his rubber match against Dustin Poirier in July.
Although the Irishman has shown a quicker recovery than expected, UFC president Dana White anticipates that he will return to the cage in autumn.
