Lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez is itching for a fight with UFC Superstar Conor McGregor.
Last night, Alvarez took to Twitter to call out the Irishman to meet him at UFC 205 in New York.

Conor’s coach John Kavanagh replied to Alvarez’s tweet.
I don't sleep. I wait.

Then Conor decided to add more fuel to the fire by telling Alvarez to beg him.
Beg me

Unfortunately Dana White nixed the idea of an Alvarez-McGregor fight a few hours later on Twitter by saying that Alvarez will fight Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 205.
not true it's @TeamKhabib

Hopefully Dana reconsiders because Alvarez-McGregor would be a much more exciting fight than Khabib-Alvarez.
