Conor McGregor claims he not only wants to fight Frankie Edgar in December, but that he’ll do it for free.

If you believe one or both of those things, then there’s more details to share.

Wednesday marked Edgar’s 38th birthday. The UFC social media team sent out a celebratory tweet, which McGregor then replied to with the notion he wants to fight “The Answer” in December (via Twitter).

Just moments later, Edgar (23-7-1 MMA, 17-7-1 UFC) responded to the former two-division UFC champ McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC), who hasn’t fought since a November loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 and has done little other than call for fights with no action since.

Edgar’s response was curious, though, as he claimed to have already accepted a showdown with the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion (via Twitter):

Just when it seemed like an interesting situation may be on the horizon, however, McGregor managed to pour cold water. He told UFC president Dana White to put together the matchup with a promise to donate his purse to charity attached (via Twitter):

It’s been hard enough to get McGregor in the octagon in recent years. It seems unlikely we’ll see him do it for free.

Conor just wants to keep his name out there so he can sell whiskey.

Conor wants the UFC lawyers/connections on his side cause he is slipping outside the cage.

This would be an awesome fight. When Conor was on top Frankie was one of the only guys he didn't shit all over verbally. I think they've had a mutual respect in the past but I could be wrong.

I think they should make Conor the Interim BMF champion and have him coach a season of The Ultimate Fighter against the winner of Diaz Masvidal. Make the fight at 155. Winner then fights Lightweight Champ.
I'm sure a lot of Edge Shaving Gel could be sold that way!
