Dana White: Conor McGregor banking on Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson not happening

Conor McGregor has ambitious plans for 2020 and a big part of his agenda for the year will revolve around the demise of one of the most anticipated fights of the year.

As he prepares to face Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone this weekend at UFC 246, McGregor has already stated that he wants to stay busy with a much more active schedule than he’s had in recent years.

If he’s successful in his first fight back in 15 months, UFC president Dana White says that the Irish superstar isn’t thinking about a showdown with “BMF” champion Jorge Masvidal but rather he’s banking on the upcoming fight between lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson falling apart.
