While Conor McGregor continues to push for a rematch against lightweight kingpin Khabib Nurmagomedov, Ultimate Fighting Championship color commentator Joe Rogan maintains that one of the main dynamics of their first matchup is unlikely to change.
Nurmagomedov and McGregor previously fought back at UFC 229 last October with the “The Eagle” securing multiple takedowns and dominating his opponent for most of the fight before eventually submitting him in the fourth round. As the fight ended, Nurmagomedov jumped the cage to confront McGregor’s team and a brawl ensued, leading to a number of suspensions and fines handed out by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) including a nine-month ban to Nurmagomdeov and a six-month ban to McGregor.
