"I lost my last fight, Conor lost his. We’re both from Europe, he’s a Liverpool fan, I’m a Liverpool fan. I’ve spoken in the past about how I want to sell out a stadium in my home town. He spoke about Croke Park but I think Croke Park will be for the final fight of his career, his retirement fight.
"But until then, he’s spoken about wanting to fight for the welterweight belt and I obviously want my rematch so if I fight Conor, then the winner could potentially get a shot at the belt after Colby and Woodley fight or Woodley and Usman fight.
"I’m still the number two in the division. Conor has fought at 170lbs before. Why couldn’t we get on? The two biggest stars in Europe, both experts in striking at one of the most iconic stadiums in the world.
"No arena is big enough. Anfield could hold 70,000-75,000 people.
"The site crashed when I was fighting at the Echo. It had 70,000 ticket requests. I’d sell it myself but with a powerhouse name like Conor, we’d sell that out in seconds."
McGregor has fought at welterweight on two occasions in the past but would be giving up plenty of size to Till, who is one of the larger 170lbers on the UFC roster.
Till has previously hinted at a move up to middleweight following a couple of failed weight cuts but his coach and nutritionist seem determined to have him continue at 170lbs for at least another year.
With Till staying at welterweight and McGregor unlikely to get another immediate shot at the lightweight strap following his defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov, who's to say Till vs. McGregor couldn't come to fruition?
Till added: "I know I’d have Conor. It’s not a question of ‘I think I’d have him’ – I know I would. What it’s about is me and him fighting in such an iconic stadium and the hype and eyes it would bring would just be unbelievable.
"I haven’t spoken to his camp at all, although I know them quite well. I know Owen (Roddy), I know Cian Cowley, Peter Queally, James Gallagher and I know Artem (Lobov) as well. This is just me being a straight shooter calling him out.
"He's going to want to do it, there's no way he's not. I don't see why he wouldn't.
"I think it could happen. I see no reason why it couldn’t happen.
"McGregor’s not afraid of a fight and neither am I. He’s a man of manifestation and so am I, so why can’t we manifest it into a reality."Former UFC fighter shot dead while out for evening walk
