'Wonder Boy' has been on quite a streak recently. He is undefeated in ONE Championship with his last two wins coming by way of first-round knockout. Andrade is now ranked in the top five in his weight division.
The 24-year-old fighter competes at 145lbs and McGregor's last bout was at 155lbs. So, 'Notorious' would need to cut weight or Andrade would need to pack on a little more to make this fight happen.
McGregor was a two-division UFC champion and had a blockbuster boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2017. In his more recent bouts, he took two losses via TKO to Dustin Poirier.

Fabricio Andrade and everyone wants to fight Conor McGregor
Fabricio Andrade is not alone in calling out Conor McGregor. ONE titleholders Superbon Singha Mawynn and Thanh Le have both recently called out the Irish fighter.
Superbon is the top-ranked pound-for-pound kickboxer in the world. He is the reigning ONE champion in kickboxing at 155lbs. In a recent interview with the promotion, he said:
“I’d like to fight with McGregor because he is famous, but he is not that good. I think I can easily defeat him. Yes, he's good at some level, but not at the top of what he's doing. I think marketing and persona promotion makes everyone overestimate him. He’s overrated. If we fight with striking, not a ground game, I can definitely beat him.”
Thanh Le is on a five-fight knockout streak and holds the ONE featherweight title. He was recently asked about a McGregor match on Instagram to which he said:
"I would look like this again [referring to the picture below]. And he would look like this too, except with his eyes closed."

If Andrade wants a fight against the former UFC champion, it seems as though he will have to get in line.
