Conor McGregor wants homecoming UFC fight in Dublin against Khabib after beating Donald Cerrone inside one minute – The Sun

CONOR McGREGOR wants a UFC homecoming fight in Dublin after making his comeback against Donald Cerrone.

'The Notorious' capped off a stunning return to the Octagon by defeating 'Cowboy' inside the first minute.

UFC President Dana White wants McGregor to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov next in what would be an explosive rematch – and even suggested it could happen in London.

But McGregor, who sported an Irish flag on his way to the Octagon tonight, rubbished the idea that the fight could happen in the UK instead of Ireland.

He said: "If there's a stadium show happening in Europe it's happening in Ireland, it's not happening in the UK.

"I love the UK greatly also but it's not happening in the UK.

"If there's a stadium show earmarked for me in Europe, bring that motherf***er to Ireland, I've been asking that since the beginning.

"I'm going to go backstage with Mr. Lorenzo Fertitta, drink whiskey and talk football stadiums.

"I'd be more than excited about that if we could do that.

"I'd love to compete in Ireland as well, I would love to compete in my hometown.

"How amazing would that be?"

McGregor looked back to his best on his return to the Octagon as he defeated Cerrone in just 40 seconds in a devastating display.

The Dubliner did serious damage with shoulder strikes to the face of 'Cowboy' before dropping him with a head kick.

After the fight McGregor celebrated with his long time partner Dee Devlin as well as the rest of his family.

And he also shared an embrace with Cerrone's grandmother Jerry after she came into the Octagon to console Donald.

The win gives McGregor knockout victories in three different weight classes and he proclaimed 'etch my name in history' after his stunning display.

He said: "The UFC can strip fighters and give other fighters make believe belts in order to replicate my champ champ status.
