Al Iaquinta: Conor McGregor was never deserving of a title shot

With the record-breaking numbers that UFC 229 did, a rematch between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor is almost inevitable. McGregor does intend to avenge his loss, and has no problem fighting the next in line to get there.

But for Al Iaquinta, McGregor is not warranted a title shot, and should never have been.

“I don’t see him ever getting that title shot again, unless it’s just a money thing,” Iaquinta said.

“It’s a shame that he might get fights just because of the purse that he brings. Because he’s totally non-deserving of anything near a title shot.
