Khabib Nurmagomedov trashes Conor McGregor, shoots down possible rematch

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has big plans to add onto his legacy over the next few years but none of it involves a rematch against Conor McGregor.

Last October, Nurmagomedov silenced McGregor with a dominant performance at UFC 229 before finishing the fight in the fourth round with a rear-naked choke.

The lopsided performance that moved the undefeated Russian to 27-0 in his career didn’t stop McGregor from almost immediately pushing for a rematch. While McGregor still hasn’t fought since facing Nurmagomedov last year, UFC president Dana White said as recently as last week that a rematch down the road was still possible.
