Nurmagomedov Sr. wants a rematch with McGregor to be held in Moscow

Andrew Karlov | Published Oct. 3, 2019, 4:43 a.m.

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, father and coach of Khabib Nurmagomedovsaid that rematch of "Eagle" against Conor McGregor should be held in Moscow.

"MacGregor if he wants, Moscow is waiting for him. He also said that he has fans here more than we have. We want to take him to Moscow, please - we are waiting.

"But before McGregor we need to deal with Ferguson. Because Ferguson has 28 fights as well Khabib, and he has series of 12 victories in UFC, like Khabib.

"There was no such series of victories, and there was no so big fight in UFC's history. So I think that Madison Square Garden is an appropriate arena for this fight, but we will not fight earlier than March."
