McGregor wants exhibition bout against Nasukawa 'before this summer'
It appears Conor McGregor wants in on the Tenshin Nasukawa action.
One week after Floyd Mayweather's exhibition bout against Nasukawa, McGregor called out the RISE kickboxing featherweight world champion for another exhibition match, this time under MMA rules.
I wish to go to Tokyo to face Tenshin Nasukawa in a Mixed Martial Arts exhibition bout.

Before this summer.
Please arrange this, this instant.
Yours sincerely
The champ champ. @ufc @ParadigmSM
The former double champ is currently awaiting his sanction for the UFC 229 post-fight brawl in October. The Nevada Athletic Commission will meet on January 29 for a potential ruling.
Nasukawa appears interested in the fight, as well:
Meanwhile, former women's featherweight champion Cris Cyborg also expressed interest in a possible Japan card.
If we can not make the rematch @ParadigmSM I wish compete in an exhibition fight in Tokyo on the same event @TheNotoriousMMA will be competing in @ufc https://t.co/5qYQF3Vkq1
