Undefeated Russian UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov said that he would agree to fight the Irish superstar Conor McGregor only if he was offered a serious purse.
"An interesting situation. If they want to organize a money fight, then they will have to pay me well. I will not let them use my name, and Conor and the UFC will make big money if I get paid only $200,000. This will not happen.
“If they want me to fight for the purse specified in my contract - excellent. But in that case, give me Dustin Poirier. I will adhere to contractual obligations. But if they want to use my name and make big money – this will not happen.
“I hope that this fight will be arranged, because I want to change the face of this guy. I really want to meet him inside the cage - just me and him. I will destroy him, but not in the first round. I want to teach him modesty.
What happens if I meet him on the street in New York? A brawl. Without money. I never lost in street battles," Nurmagomedov said.
