Conor McGregor UFC news: Tony Ferguson suggests Notorious fights Mark Wahlberg

Tony Ferguson insists Conor McGregor is not his concern - and has suggested the Irishman fights Mark Wahlberg.

The Notorious bizarrely challenged the Hollywood actor to a fight earlier this year for UFC shares.

He tweeted: "I’ve decided to challenge Hollywood actress Mark Walhberg next.

"A fight for all the shares!"

Ferguson has been linked with fighting McGregor, but now wants to face the winner of Khabib Nurmagomedov v Dustin Poirier, which takes place in Abu Dhabi this weekend.

'El Cucuy' told ESPN’s “Ariel Helwani's MMA Show: “No way man, the fans wouldn’t have it, they’d put up too much of a fight.

“It seems like he has several fights with fans and old men.

"Recently, he was trying to fight Mark Wahlberg. Maybe that’s the fight for him. The dude’s got a couple of things.

"He’s making his money, doing his thing. I don’t know if he wants to fight anymore. He is not my concern.”
