Father and trainer of UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedova Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov in a fresh interview explained why Poirier became his son's next opponent, but not McGregor.
"Why did we choose Poirier, not McGregor? You see, we paid this time around 750 thousand dollars. We destroyed him, he quit. So we don't need him, there is a new fighter that deserves to fight, and it's Dustin Poirier. Let the Irishman win one or two bouts, and then we'll fight...", said Nurmagomedov Sr.
