Conor McGregor UFC news: Notorious sends come and get me message as he prepares for comeback

"Come and get me," is the message from Conor McGregor as he awaits the announcement of his next UFC opponent.

The Notorious tweeted to his millions of followers today saying: "I’ve got shots to give. Come and get me."

It is the latest of his recent social media activity which has been building hype for his UFC return.

McGregor recently posted a sparring video and training photos to his Instagram.

The former two weight champion is aiming to enter the octagon in January 2020 over a year after his crushing loss to Khabib Nurmagamedov.

Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone is believed to be the favoured opponent for McGregor alongside Justin Gaethje and Cerrone is confident the Dubliner will eventually agree to face him.

Speaking to TMZ he said: "I think it's going to happen this time, I really do.

"I think Conor's side and our team both reached out and we're trying to figure it out; it's looking good.

"I've got just as much needle power as he does, it's going to be a huge fight. It's a fight everyone wants to watch."
