Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov 2 is Dana White’s plan ‘in a perfect world’

Conor McGregor may have a dangerous bout with Dustin Poirier out ahead of him, and Khabib Nurmagomedov may never fight again, but that doesn’t mean that the idea of a rematch between the two men doesn’t still carry a lot of intrigue for fans and the UFC alike.

So much so that it seems to be one of the major pieces of the puzzle with which Dana White hopes to lure the ‘Eagle’ back into the Octagon. Nurmagomedov surprised even his own AKA teammates, following his submission victory over Justin Gaethje back at UFC 254, when he announced his sudden retirement from competition.
