UFC commentator Joe Rogan has hinted that Conor McGregor will face Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 in Madison Square Garden in New York.
McGregor is currently serving a medical suspension after his epic five-round triumph over Nate Diaz in August, but Rogan teased listeners on a recent podcast that a deal was being done.
‘I know a little something that I wish I could tell, it’s a interesting fight, man,’ said Rogan when asked about the Alvarez rumour.
‘If it happens… allegedly at Madison Square Garden. If it happens… allegedly in a couple of months.”
‘But if it does happen, Eddie’s a big boy. He can grapple.
‘He’s a f****** grinder and whatever endurance issues Conor may have, he better iron those f****** out before you go to town with that guy.’
If McGregor is given the reprieve at 145 to fight lightweight champion Alvarez, he will be bidding to become first UFC two-weight champion.
