Is a Conor McGregot vs Khabib Nurmagomedov Rematch Going to Happen?
The rematch has been the talk of the town ever since UFC 229 ended. Given the controversy after it, the hype has only increased over the months. Add McGregor’s ‘retirement’ angle to it – and you have the perfect recipe for a great rematch.
Up until now, Khabib had only been saying that McGregor needs to return and pile up a few wins before he faces him again. Today, however, a new statement was made about the McGregor vs Khabib rematch by Khabib, who said that “we have not yet finished what was on October 6”. This gives a clear hint that there’s unfinished business and that there’s a major possibility of a rematch.
When is Conor McGregor Expected to Return?
Currently ‘retired,’ McGregor is expected to make a comeback later this year. This is likely to happen after the result of UFC 242 where Khabib faces off against Dustin Poirier. He is up for a McGregor vs Khabib rematch, but has also made unreasonable demands to return to the company!
