Henry Cejudo has claimed he would be willing to bulk up to fight Conor McGregor at 155lbs if the Notorious can 'stay sober'.
Both are legends of UFC and were double champions - with only four people in the history of the promotion holding two belts at once.
McGregor is still the UFC's biggest draw despite a run of defeats and a prolonged injury
McGregor held the lightweight and featherweight belts at the same time, while Cejudo was bantamweight and flyweight champion.
The upper limit of bantamweight is 135lbs and the Triple C says he is willing to jump up two weight classes to fight the Irish MMA star.
Cejudo is retired from the sport, after defending his bantamweight title against Dominick Cruz in May 2020, but said he is willing to come back. Although, he does have certain conditions.
On Twitter, he wrote: "Hey @TheNotoriousMMA let's make a deal. I'll fight you at 155 pounds on one condition-- You have to stay sober.
"If you can do that, I'll agree to measure at 5'4" or under and start the fight on my back. Also Keith Peterson can't ref. Fair?"
Cejudo seeming to make reference to claims made by Dominick Cruz in 2020 that referee Peterson smelled of alcohol and cigarettes during their clash.
Cejudo may make a comeback in the UFC
McGregor is making his way back from a nasty leg break, which he sustained during his trilogy clash with Dustin Poirier.
Dana White revealed to talkSPORT earlier this month that we will likely see him back in the Octagon in the Autumn.
And he may even get an immediate shot at the lightweight title, with current champion Charles Oliveira facing Justin Gaethje on May 7.
