There is still talk of a rematch between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor despite ‘The Notorious’ being currently retired.
Khabib submitted McGregor in the UFC 229 headliner in 2018 to retain his lightweight title but McGregor has been very vocal about a rematch and is confident he would avenge his loss to the undefeated Dagestani.
If McGregor did return to the Octagon, reigning UFC light heavyweight champion and pound-for-pound No. 1 Jon Jones would put his money on Nurmagomedov — purely due to the fact that ‘The Eagle’ can dictate where the fight goes with his wrestling.
