McGregor is currently recuperating from the broken leg sustained in his loss against Dustin Poirier.

SunSport exclusively revealed that the 33-year old is on track for his return to action ten weeks after undergoing surgery.

He has been linked to a number of prominent MMA fighters, including Nate Diaz, Justin Gaethje and Rafael dos Anjos.

Jake Paul, a YouTuber, has been trying to fight the two-weight champion in the squared circle.

Superbon, a kickboxer signed to ONE Championship, is eager to match his skills against McGregor in future.

Superbon's ONE Championship compatriot Rodtang Jitmuangnon will face ex-UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johns in a mixed-rules bout in December.

The rules for the first and third rounds of Muay Thai will apply, while rounds 2 and 4 will follow MMA rules.

Superbon also stated that he was ready to follow Rodtang's and Johnson's lead.

Sportskeeda quoted him as saying: "Well, it's quite new for me because I have never seen this type of mixed rules fight before.

"Rodtang excels in Muay Thai, while DJ excels in MMA so they have the skills they need.

"If there is a chance, I'd be interested." Although I don't know the exact date, I would love to participate.

"I haven’t tried MMA yet – but if I were to ask me who I would like to fight, Conor McGregor because I believe I can beat him down!"

McGregor is currently on holiday in Italy, having taken his family to Rome during their American stay.

As he enjoyed a walk in the Eternal City, he was accompanied by four security officers.
