Ali Abdel-Aziz, the manager of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje, said that Khabib will definitely have a fight against Gaethje in the next outing, but not against McGregor. According to Abdel-Aziz, money will not be a decisive factor.
“Khabib will never betray Justin Gaethje because of Conor. Even if he makes more money on this fight,” Ali said.
Gaethje won the right to fight Nurmagomedov, defeating Tony Ferguson and winning the title of interim UFC lightweight champion.
