Conor McGregor's often called out but this might be the first time in his UFC career that he's been challenged to a fight in an alleyway.
The Irishman is expected to return to the famed Octagon in 2019 following his defeat to UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
A bunch of UFC fighters want a piece of McGregor including lightweight contender Al Iaquinta.

Just like McGregor, the American has also fought Nurmagomedov. But, unlike McGregor, he went the distance losing a decision.
Iaquinta has since returned to the win column by beating Kevin Lee in a wild scrap, and he's now gunning for a bout opposite McGregor.
"Conor, he was talking about an immediate rematch, but I think he's gotta fight somebody, and who else would he fight besides me?" He said.
The No.4 lightweight fighter added: "We have a common opponent in Khabib. I went the distance on a day's notice. And he had all the time in the world to prepare, and he tapped out when things got a little tough, especially after talking all that s***, I don't know....I think he's lost it in a lot of ways. I think he's trying to get it back now. Maybe that woke him up a little bit.

"I don't see him ever getting that title shot again unless it's just a money thing. It's a shame that he might get fights just because of the purse that he brings.
"Because he's totally non-deserving of anything near a title shot. I don't think he ever was.
You talk all that s***...you talk s*** about me, that (Khabib) couldn't finish me. And then, you go out there and get finished that quick? I don't know...he's such a little shyster.It's the same s***. He'll do anything for the dollar. It's such a shame.
"That money fight s***, it's all bulls***. F***ing meet me in the alleyway, I'll show you a money fight."

No messing.
