Frankie Edgar has said he will fight Conor McGregor at any weight class.
'The Answer' has been long linked with fighting McGregor - but the Irishman now looks more likely to face either Justin Gaethje and Dustin Poirier.
The Notorious has previously called out Edgar for his next fight and the American has said he's ready to fight the Irishman, reports The Mirror.
“I’ll fight Conor at any weight class. We can do 55, 70, he's gonna be bigger than me regardless of what weight we fight at,” Edgar said in quotes reported by MMA Weekly .
“He’s been saying he wants to fight me. I’m hearing he wants to fight me. And he has the control.
"I don’t know if the UFC is into it, but ultimately I believe Conor has the choice. If he really wants to fight me, we’ll fight.”
Gaethje, who stopped Donald Cerrone in his last fight, has branded McGregor "a coward" for talking up a fight with Edgar.
"Conor keeps saying he is going to fight but I don’t think that’s true. But if he doesn’t want to fight he’s calling out the likes of Frankie Edgar," Gaethje told ESPN.
"No disrespect to Frankie Edgar but he’s 30 pounds lighter than us and that’s a coward move.
"The man is a coward deep down. I know that, he knows that, some of us know that. And if I fight him I get to show the world that, and that’s what he doesn't want."
Former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion McGregor has stepped up his training in recent weeks and is plotting a return in early 2020.
He is desperate to earn a rematch with Nurmagomedov but must first plot a route back into title contention.
