Conor McGregor‘s wish is evidently Jerry Jones‘ command … the Cowboys owner says he’s now “very open” to hosting the Notorious’ next fight at his palace in Dallas!
“I’m a real admirer of his,” Jerry said of McGregor on 105.3 “The Fan” on Friday. “He’s one of the neatest individuals I think I’ve met. Period.”
Conor said Wednesday he’s accepted a UFC fight with Dustin Poirier for Jan. 23 … and in his announcement, McGregor said he wanted the scrap to take place at AT&T Stadium.
And, when Jerry was asked about the possibility of making that happen … the 78-year-old said he was more than down to try to make it work.
“[Conor] is special,” Jerry said. “It would be quite a day for AT&T Stadium to have him.”
Of course, the UFC has yet to officially cross the T’s and dot the I’s on the fight … so selecting a location for the possible tilt is still a ways away.
But, if a deal is eventually made … it could pave the way for thousands of fans to watch the fight in person.
Jerry’s been operating Cowboys home games with roughly 25,000 people in attendance all season.
As for how Jones knows Conor so well … you’ll recall, he played host to the fighter at a Dallas game back in 2018 — and everyone LOVED the guy there!!
So, do we officially have a fight AND a location now???
Stay tuned …
