Undefeated lightweight UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov said that a rematch with Conor McGregor is "possible," but only if he "wins 10 fights in a row."
"As for a rematch, to fight for a belt in the UFC, I remember I had something like nine or 10 fights. If he wins 10 fights in a row, then that's completely possible," Khabib said per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN).
For now, Tony Ferguson appears to be the next man up, but negotiations are still ongoing. One sticking point is the location, as Khabib refuses to work in Las Vegas unless the Nevada State Athletic Commission apologizes for suspending and fining the fighter for his role during a post-UFC 229 fight.
