Khabib Nurmagomedov: People only want to see McGregor rematch for the drama

Khabib Nurmagomedov is still not interested in a rematch with Conor McGregor, as ‘The Eagle’ feels fans are only interested in the inevitable drama surrounding the match-up.

Prior to their lightweight title bout at UFC 229, which saw Khabib submit McGregor in the fourth round, ‘The Notorious’ threw a dolly through the window of a fighter’s bus and, after the fight, ‘The Eagle’ leapt over the cage and attacked Dillon Danis in the stands, triggering an all-out brawl inside the Octagon.

Speaking to TMZ Sports in a recent interview, Nurmagomedov said a rematch would be good for ratings and money but said the outcome would be the same.
