With Robbie Lawler out of UFC 205, a huge name is now considering a fight with Donald Cerrone

We're all very used to Conor McGregor holding matters up.

Whether it's press conferences or title pictures, 'The Notorious' is, well, notorious for delaying proceedings. It seems that he's currently holding up two weight divisions as he considers whether he wants to return to featherweight to defend his title or take a stab at Eddie Alvarez's 155lb belt. It means that fights cannot be booked for Alvarez and interim 145lb champion Jose Aldo until McGregor makes up his mind and it must be dreadfully frustrating for top contenders in both weight classes. Khabib Nurmagomedov is certainly in that category as he awaits a title shot at lightweight. The undefeated Russian enjoyed a successful comeback from his most recent injury when he trounced late stand-in and promotional newcomer Darrell Horcher in April. His perfect record leads many to believe that Nurmagomedov is the uncrowned king at lightweight but he may miss out on the next title shot if Mr McGregor fancies it. Talk is rife that the UFC is looking at McGregor vs. Alvarez as a potential headliner for UFC 205 in Madison Square Garden. And if that is the case, and Nurmagomedov is overlooked for the title bout, then he wants to take on Donald Cerrone. Cerrone was scheduled to clash with former welterweight champion Robbie Lawler in New York, in what would be one of the most fan friendly stylistic match-ups in UFC history. The bout agreement was signed by both men but Lawler has since withdrawn from the fight, freeing up a slot opposite 'Cowboy'. And whether it's at lightweight or welterweight, Nurmagomedov wants that fight. https://twitter.com/TeamKhabib/status/774812914117124096 https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/774779384200921088 We wouldn't be angry to see it booked.
