Henry Cejudo, an ex-UFC champ, challenged CONOR MCGREGOR to a lightweight match.
Over the past few weeks, UFC two-division champions have been tweeting at each other on Twitter.
Conor McGregor is getting ready to make his return in the Octagon
Cejudo, a retired fighter, is open to lifting weights to face the UFC's poster child - as long as he doesn't drink too much during the build-up.
Cejudo stated that he would make a deal with you during the Triple C & Schmo Show's latest episode.
"I will fight you up to 155lb if you're willing to drink. What's up?
"I don’t know man. We test his hand. It doesn't matter what it is, but Conor McGregor will be able to literally travel to 155 if he passes sobriety.

"I believe that it's even. That's a great fight. That's a great tactic for negotiation.
McGregor, 33, admitted that he had drank booze days before his 2018 grudge match against Khabib Nurmagomedov.
He told ESPN in January 2020 that he was drinking on the bleeding fight week with his last one.
The Irishman, however, has since gotten over his pre-fight boozing and has vowed that he will stay sober for his return fight later in the year.
McGregor posted a recent Instagram message: "For my fighter fans, I want you to know that I am enjoying my liquid."
"But I will soon be immersing myself again in full training with total abstention from all my wonderful creations Spirit and Ale."
McGregor still has to recover from the broken leg sustained in his fight with Dustin Pourier last July.
Recently, the Dubliner revealed that he is targeting a summer return from the Octagon. However, UFC president Dana White anticipates that he will return in the fall.

SunSport spoke with White this month. "We're looking into early fall, if all goes well."
"If his leg heals well and he is given the permission to start training properly, then he may be able to train in the fall."
