The only fight on many UFC fans mind consist of a potential mega fight rematch between Khabib Nurmagomedov and the Irishman himself, Conor McGregor.
McGregor who defeated Cowboy Cerrone in the first round of their recent bout, has been telling reporters even before the fight, he wants sweet revenge on Khabib.
We cant always have what we want in life and Khabib is supporting that narrative telling reporters on Tuesday, in his native homeland Dagestan,
“Why do I need that kind of money”
Further Khabib stated,
“There are so many organizations; let The UFC give it to them if they don’t know what to do with the money . But giving me $100 million for me to beat up that idiot again, I don’t think that’s rational”
Khabib has his focus on training in preparation for his April fight with number 1 contender Tony Ferguson.
There has been speculation, that if Khabib doesn’t potentially accept the fight offer from Dana White to fight number 3 ranked Conor McGregor later this year, he would have his title stripped.
There is plenty of time before then and as Khabib has stated, his focus is on Ferguson.
As mentioned in previous articles pertaining to a potential rematch with McGregor, the writing is on the wall for both the UFC and Conor McGregor. This fight is a cash cow.
Nevertheless, I think it would be solely, nearly impossible for Khabib to turn down 100 Million dollars from Dana White to fight McGregor for a mega fight rematch in Vegas later this year at the new billion dollar play pen the Raiders will grace as their home .
Stay tuned for more remarks from both camps on a potential rematch.
