The well-known coach Javier Mendez believes that at the moment the greatest purse for the UFC star Conor McGregor will bring a fight with his ward Khabib Nurmagomedov.
"The question is whether McGregor will sit down at the negotiating table. Everyone knows that Conor is a good businessman. Now he will not be paid more for any fight than for the fight with Khabib. The next right step for him in terms of finances should be a fight with Nate Diaz. The two main money battles for McGregor are with Khabib and Diaz," Mendes said.
McGregor did not appear in the Octagon since November 2016.
