Now that Khabib Nurmagomedov is the UFC undisputed lightweight champion, a lot more possibilities have rightfully opened up. While “The Eagle” himself prefers a fight against Georges St-Pierre, one of the names that have been constantly thrown his way is that of Conor McGregor’s.
During his UFC 223 post-fight media scrum, Khabib told reporters that he is expecting a massive fight with “The Notorious”, and for that very reason, he hopes that a world tour would be set for promotional purposes.
“I hope he’s gonna fight. We have to fight,” Khabib said (transcript via MMA Fighting).
