Donald Cerrone has called out Conor McGregor and told him to 'sign the damn deal' ahead of a potential fight between the duo.
McGregor announced last week that he is preparing for a return to the UFC in Las Vegas on January 18.
Cerrone is set to be the favourite ahead of Justin Gaethje.

"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.
"It's going to be a fun fight, he's a great fighter, I'm not taking anything away from him. Sign the damn deal, man. Let's get this done."

McGregor announced his comeback during a press conference in Russia last week while promoting his Proper Twelve whiskey.
The 31-year-old has not fought since he was defeated by Khabib Nurmagomedov in a fiery contest back in October 2018.
The altercation that occurred following the fight led to a six month ban for McGregor alongside a $50,000 fine.

McGregor hasn't won a bout via knockout since he beat Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 in November 2016.
Cerrone on the other hand hasn't won since January this year, with defeats to Tony Ferguson and the aforementioned Gaethje in recent months.
