Conor McGregor's next fight will be against another non-title holder before he steps in to fight for the belt. A fellow featherweight contender, however, has responded to his call.
While Conor McGregor's next fight has no finality as of this posting, "The Notorious" has publicly announced his immediate plans through his personal Twitter account.
His first order of business is to fly to Brazil for the first time and catch the upcoming featherweight title fight between champion Jose Aldo and challenger Chad Mendes in their rematch on the 25th.
"I am looking forward to going to Brazil this week to see the Number 1 contender fight between Aldo and Mendes," McGregor tweeted. "Who gets to face the KING?"
McGregor is coming off a victory against top ten 145-pounder Dustin "the Diamond" Poirier at UFC 178 in late September. Prior to the fight, he promised a first-round finish, which he ended up doing during the actual contest.
While a number of fans believe that Conor McGregor's next fight should be a title shot, "The Notorious" had confirmed that his number one contender status would have to wait until mid-2015. He also confirmed that he, along with the UFC executives are currently looking for his next opponent.
"Because Aldo's body is weak and Mendes is 2foot nothing, they will not be ready to challenge me for the throne until mid next year," he wrote. Myself, Uncle Frank and the rest of La Familia are in the process of selecting another victim to eliminate in the meantime."
The brash Irishman continued to fan the flames, as he targeted the entire roster of the UFC's featherweight division.
"I demand all scared contenders bow before me and kiss each individual toe, in a public setting of my choice, for pardoning from execution. You've 24hrs to come forward and surrender your woman and all your belongings or you'll be hunted down and your head placed in my collection," he wrote.
Meanwhile, featherweight contender Dennis Siver responded to McGregor's comments, lambasting his trash talking skills in the process.
"@TheNotoriousMMA Nice suit u #lametrashtalker #OscarMcGregor #GoldDigger #Goblin @danawhite @ufc @lorenzofertitta," Siver tweeted.
