Former UFC champion in two weight categories Conor MacGregor, offered the current lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov $15 million for the second bout. This was stated by the uncle of the Russian athlete Alex Nurmagomedov.
- Is it possible to have a rematch with Conor?
- Not.
- Why?
- Khabib is not interested. He will not fight him for any money. Yes, I know that they are offering him a rematch. From the start, they offered him 15 million, if he agrees. But Khabib said no. Let Conor stand in line, let him fight with others. But Khabib wants to fight Ferguson, and then finish his career.
On October 6, at the UFC 229 tournament in Las Vegas, Nurmagomedov defeated MacGregor with a submission in the fourth round. After the fight, the Russian provoked a fight with the Irish team, and now he faces disqualification for a period from two to six months.
