The Brazilian and McGregor were meant to fight seven years ago but due to a foot injury, he was unable to take on the Irish fighter.
After his victory last night, he attempted to bait Notorious out for a bout.
He said: “I am the guy with the most hours in the Octagon.
“Seven years ago, I was defending my title against Donald Cerrone in this very same arena.
“Guys like Usman, Francis Ngannou were on that prelim card, and here I am still winning fights.
“I think I have the right to call somebody (out).
“I wanna call out Conor McGregor.
“Seven years ago, I earned this fight by beating Donald Cerrone.

“He came up a division, we were supposed to fight, I broke my foot (and the fight got cancelled), but now here I am.”
McGregor wants to return to the Octagon next year and is a long-standing rival of Dos Anjos.
It is not the first time he has been called out by the Brazilian, including earlier this year.
