Conor Benn wants Ryan Garcia next<\/h2>\n

Conor Benn was initially hesitant to call who he wants next during an interview on Friday. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhoever wants it may well get it,\u201d he told veteran sports reporter Stephen A. Smith.<\/p>\n

\u201cRyan Garcia can get it next,\u201d Benn added when pushed to select someone. <\/p>\n

Smith went on to ask Dana White if the WBC welterweight champion is the opponent he wants next for Benn.<\/p>\n

\u201cI agree with every little thing he said,\u201d the UFC CEO insisted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m within the business, right away, to make the fights people wish to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan Garcia claims he\u2019s fighting Conor Benn this summer<\/h2>\n

Ryan Garcia became a world champion<\/a> by outpointing 147lb titleholder Mario Barrios in February.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be in August,\u201d Garcia said of his next bout earlier this week. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re gonna have it in Vegas. <\/p>\n

\u201cHis name\u2019s Conor Benn, from the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re gonna eat that up.\u201d<\/p>\n
