CONOR McGREGOR has demanded Ryan Garcia get a rematch with Gervonta Davis following their super-fight.
The UFC legend was in the house to watch the blockbuster boxing bout between two of the sport’s most popular fighters.
And Davis, 28, emerged as the winner when a sickening body shot in round seven left Garcia, 24, unable to continue.
The fight was staged at a catchweight of 136lb with the contract including a 10lb rehydration clause.
It meant they had to weigh in again on the morning of the bout – not exceeding the 10lb limit – and both did so under 145lb.
But McGregor wants to see the stipulation scrapped if the pair ever share the ring with each other again.
Visiting Garcia’s dressing room after the loss, he said: “He’s 1-0 on you, yous are the two biggest names in the division, I wanna see it again.
“I want to see it again now and I want to see it with no rehydration clause. I’m serious.”
McGregor, 34, added: “All the respect in the world to you.
“You’re the future. you’re the future of this game and I will be watching you all the way.”

Garcia made it to his feet after a left hand in round two knocked him down for the first time in the bout.
But he was unable to beat the count again when a liver shot from Davis, 28, landed on the money.
Garcia – whose last fight was at the 140lb super-lightweight limit – is holding out for a future rematch up in weight.
Speaking out afterwards, he said: “Obviously I’m disappointed after the fight. Tried my best, he caught me with a good body shot.
“I’ll come back stronger and yeah man, hopefully one day rack up a couple of wins and we can do a rematch, maybe at 140 or 147.
“But thank you guys for all the support, love you guys.”
