Topuria: "McGregor doesn't deserve to fight me."

UFC featherweight champion Elijah Topuria has assessed the likelihood of a fight with the promotion's top star Conor McGregor.

I wanted to fight Conor. Not anymore. McGregor seems to be mentally done with his career. How long has he been fighting, 2-3 years? Maybe if I see a good performance from him, if he gets back in the game seriously again.... Right now, he doesn't deserve to fight me. I'm the champion. He was a star and now he's a nobody. He's not even in the rankings!

If he comes back, gets in shape and gets on top, why not? But now I have more high-profile fights available to me - against O'Malley, Holloway or Makhachev. Now Conor no longer represents nothing of himself, only drugs and alcohol," - quotes the words of Topuria MMA Junkie.

Recall that on October 26 at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Topuria will hold a title defense against Max Holloway.
