He just has to take care of a certain German later this month.

The news Conor McGregor has been waiting to hear was confirmed last night.

This juicy carrot has been dangled in front of him.

McGregor fights Dennis Siver on January 18 in Boston and if he wins that, a featherweight title fight is up next for The Notorious.

However, White has warned people not to get too carried away: “Everybody just assumes (McGregor) is going to walk through Siver.

“Nobody thought he’d beat Dustin Poirier. Now, everybody thinks he’ll walk through Siver. I don’t ever count the chickens before they’re hatched, man. Believe me.

“Anything can happen in this sport. We’ll see what happens.”

Sorry Dana, but we are already dreaming of McGregor v Aldo at Croke Park this summer.

Hat-tip to ESPN.
