Add UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw to the list of fighters who want to share the octagon with Conor McGregor at some point in the future.

Dillashaw (11-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) said he knows a matchup with the interim UFC featherweight champion is currently an unrealistic proposition, but that could change as time goes on.

McGregor (18-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) has a budding rivalry with Team Alpha Male where Dillashaw trains. The 135-pound titleholder hopes that rivalry leads to an eventual showdown with “The Notorious.”

“I’m sure everyone would love this fight, but I would love to fight Conor McGregor after he fought my teammate and beat my teammate (Chad Mendes),” Dillashaw told MMAjunkie. “I would love that fight. He’s the interim champion of the world, I don’t know when him and (Jose) Aldo are going to fight, that’s probably going to be next, but I would love to fight that guy as well.”

McGregor stopped Dillashaw’s teammate Mendes by second-round TKO at UFC 189 to win the interim UFC title. Plenty of words were exchanged prior to the contest, and the end result was McGregor living up to his pre-fight prediction of putting Mendes away in the second round.

Mendes took the fight on short notice and pushed McGregor to the limit for two rounds before he was caught by a fight-ending series of strikes. Although Mendes didn’t get his hand raised, Dillashaw said “Money” exposed numerous holes in McGregor’s game that could be capitalized on.

“My biggest worry was Chad’s cardio for that fight; he had the skills to beat that guy, I just hoped his cardio would hold up,” Dillashaw said. “Chad has had a little bit of issues with his cardio when he has a full camp. He took this fight on 10 days. I was hoping he could push through it, but he still showed big holes in Conor’s game. Chad with a full camp would have won that fight.”

The victory over Mendes set up a massive title unification matchup with featherweight champion Aldo, which was originally meant for UFC 189 before “Scarface” was forced to withdraw due to a rib injury.

While McGregor waits for Aldo to recover, he will coach “The Ultimate Fighter 22” opposite Urijah Faber, who is another one of Dillashaw’s teammates. The reality series begins filming this week and Dillashaw said he’ll travel to Las Vegas to assist Faber shortly after Saturday’s bout with Renan Barao at UFC on FOX 16 in Chicago.

“After my fight I’m probably going to go out there and help Urijah for a couple weeks; I want to help some of the guys and help motivate,” Dillashaw said. “I’m interested to see how it goes down. I’m sure it will be very interesting knowing who Conor is. I’m sure he’s going to talk a lot and it’s going to make some good TV. It’s going to be entertaining to see.”
