Ali Abdelaziz, the manager for UFC stars Justin Gaethje and Khabib Nurmagomedov, said Conor McGregor won't interrupt the expected lightweight title clash between the fighters he represents.
Nurmagomedov was scheduled to defend his lightweight championship against Tony Ferguson at UFC 249 but was forced to withdraw because of travel restrictions associated with the coronavirus pandemic. Gaethje stepped in and secured the interim title Saturday night.
Although McGregor has attempted to force himself into the championship conversation in recent days, Abdelaziz told TMZ Sports in an interview released Thursday that's not going to happen.
