Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the top contenders for Conor McGregor's UFC lightweight championship, but the 29-year-old is unsure whether he'll ever have the opportunity to challenge McGregor.
"I don't think he gonna come back," Nurmagomedov said of McGregor, alluding to McGregor's prolonged absence from the Octagon, per TMZ Sports. "When's the last time Conor compete in MMA? Long time. He's boxing guy."
Nurmagomedov is set to fight Tony Ferguson for the interim lightweight title at UFC 223 on April 7.
