Following a report that Donald Cerrone is front-runner to face Conor McGregor in his next UFC bout, “Cowboy” is calling on the controversial star to sign the contract.

Recently McGregor claimed that he’s going to return to the Octagon on January 14th, but he stopped short of naming an opponent. It was then reported that Cerrone had the lead, in terms of who is most likely to fight McGregor next.

More recently, Cerrone spoke with TMZ Sports, and while doing so, he called on McGregor to sign the contract.

Cerrone is coming off a stoppage loss to Justin Gaethje in September, while McGregor hasn’t fought since last October, when he was submitted by lightweight champ, Khabib Nurmagomedov.
