White: McGregor wants to fight Nurmagomedov

At the press conference after the UFC Fight Night 130 tournament Dana White said that meeting with former champion in two divisions Conor McGregor did not take place in Liverpool and will be moved to Las Vegas. The president of the company expressed his hope that he will manage to organize a fight between the Irishman and the current lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

"The future of McGregor depends on the trials that will begin in June. I'm sure this is exactly what McGregor wants to do. I'm also sure that Khabib wants this fight. If Conor is able to deal with his problems, then this duel can take place at one of the tournaments this year."

On June 14, an Irish superstar will stand trial in New York on the case of the infamous attack on a bus with participants in the UFC 223 tournament.
