After Conor McGregor vowed to never fight in the state of Nevada again, venues around the world are now queuing up to host 'Notorious'' future fights.
And Real Madrid reportedly want to bring the UFC Featherweight champion to the Bernabeu, with a spokesperson for the club saying they would "be glad if we could make a UFC event; our stadium can hold more than 80.000 fans." However, one of the conditions of the MMA promotion having a PPV event hosted at the home of the European champions would be that it takes place between the post-season of May and July.

Other major venues have been looked into for future McGregor fights, such as the Dallas Cowboy's monstrous AT&T Stadium in Texas, which recently hosted Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez's victory over Liam Smith in front of 50,000 fans and also attracted over 100,000 fans to this year's WrestleMania.
With Madrid a more affordable option for McGregor's army of loyal Irish fans, instead of them forking out over £2,000 for a trip to the United States, the UFC may fancy hosting a McGregor headlined event in the famous stadium, next Summer.
It is believed McGregor is looking to take some time off after his upcoming UFC Lightweight Title bout with Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, next month, which could mean a Summer fight is a real possibility.
