Conor McGregor is reportedly in talks for a fight with Justin Gaethje this summer.
The Notorious has a number of options for his next bout after his 40-second demolition of Donald Cerrone last month.
But ESPN's Ariel Helwani reports that McGregor's representatives are in talks with the UFC over a fight with Gaethje.
Prior to his win over Cerrone, the Dubliner said on the possibility of fighting Gaethje: "He is on the list.
“Maybe I’ll face him next, you know? He has it coming to him.
“I mean laugh at how Justin is behaving. He’s a funny guy. He’s been taking it very to heart, you know? And I know the feeling when you do that.
“So maybe I’ll get through Donald and I’ll have a quick turnaround against Justin.
"So maybe that’s what will happen. But Justin is on the list, no doubt.”
Gaethje has previously accused McGregor of avoiding a fight with him.
Meanwhile, Floyd Mayweather has fired a warning to McGregor that he will "whip your ass again" if the price is right as he fuelled talk of a rematch.
Undefeated boxing superstar Mayweather is plotting a 2020 comeback as he works with UFC supremo Dana White.
He officially retired with a 50-0 record after stopping McGregor in the 10th round of their money-spinning crossover fight back in August 2017 and they have been tipped for a rematch this year.
Mayweather has now vowed to hand the Irishman another defeat - as long as he is rewarded with another huge pay day having landed over £200million for their first fight.
Mayweather told TMZ Sports: "Man if they pay I'm there to play.
"And if they're paying cash Conor, I'll whip your ass... again.
"I do what I do everywhere, I pick up money I get paid to tell my story."
Mayweather claimed earlier this month that he barely prepared for his fight with McGregor.
"All I did was do pushups and situps. That's all I did. Pushups and situps, box a few times, hit the bag a few times. Because, actually, the training camp was in different places," he told Drink Champs.
"I would do a training camp in Vegas a few days. Sometimes I wouldn't go to the gym for a week.
"I took it serious. Like I said before, I wanted to have some fun in the fight. I wanted to entertain the people."
McGregor made his return to the Octagon last month, beating Donald Cerrone in Las Vegas.
Dana White has suggested his eyes are on a rematch with Khabib Nurmagomedov in UFC but he could yet be tempted by another money-spinning bout with Mayweather.
Mayweather's uncle, Jeff Mayweather, last week claimed talks are already underway after he claimed he would fight McGregor and Khabib in the same day.
“There have already been talks with Floyd and Dana White about making a deal," Jeff Mayweather told VegasInsider.com.
“Floyd is no longer the top of his sport, but he’ll beat both of them. He could beat both of them back to back, one in the daytime, one in the nighttime – it doesn’t matter, they’d have no chance, it’s easy for him.
“Floyd said one in the daytime and one in the night, it’ll be something that’s never been done before. Double pay-per-view, expensive a** buy.”
