Donald Cerrone claims Conor McGregor turned down fighting him a number of times

Donald Cerrone has claimed Conor McGregor has turned down the opportunity to fight him a number of times.

The Crumlin man has been linked with fighting the American, but Cerrone insists that McGregor "won’t sign his end of the deal".

He told MMA Junkie: “That’s been so close so many times.

“The funny thing is, when Diaz fought McGregor, I just fought, and I was flying on that Sunday, and they called me and were like, ‘Hey, do you want the McGregor fight?’

“So he turned me down back then, turned me down three or four other times now. It’s crazy to me.

“His last fight, we were supposed to do it, and it just deteriorated. I don’t know, he just won’t sign his end of the deal.”
