Makhachev's manager: "A fight with McGregor is quite possible"

Dmitriy Kel June 10, 2024, 5:30 a.m.

Renowned manager Ali Abdel-Aziz, who represents UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, revealed under what circumstances star ex-titleholder in two divisions Conor McGregor could get a fight with his client.

"Let's say Conor knocks Chandler out in the first round. And because McGregor is a huge MMA star, whether you love him or not. And Conor tells the UFC, 'I want a title shot.' And then he's going to be Islam's opponent. Makhachev won't say no to that kind of fight. Because fighters fight for money. Not just for legacy.

This fight is entirely possible. But Conor needs to put aside bottles and drugs," Abdel-Aziz told Submission Radio.
