GAA president Aogan O Fearghail says Conor McGregor is welcome to fight in Croke Park if he beats Jose Aldo in his UFC world title fight in Las Vegas on July 11.

O Fearghail's promise comes after UFC president Dana White said he wants Croke Park to stage the Dubliner's first title defence if he defeats the Brazilian UFC featherweight champion.

"Our stadium is here and available. I haven't seen an application but every application that comes is always welcome," Mr O Fearghail told The Herald.

"He's a young athlete who clearly has a world following. Certainly we need to discuss with Conor when he wants to fight and when he wants the venue."
