Former UFC champion in two weight categories Conor McGregor in an interview to TMZ tabloid commented on his victory over the former rival Jose Aldo, and also said that he was close to signing a contract for the next fight.
"My mood and shape are amazing. Aldo’s fight? I’m very happy for him. His emotions after the battle... He went through so much in this crazy business that after such a bright victory I was very happy for him and his coach Andre Pederneiras. The whole Ireland was happy about his victory that night.
“It's not official, but we are very close to my next fight. I hope to return this year. New York is a delightful city. I would like to fight at MSG again, but I think the fight will be in Las Vegas," the Irishman said.
Most likely, McGregor will face undefeated lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. It should be added that Las Vegas on October 6 will host the UFC tournament 229.
