Michael Bisping: 'No way' Conor McGregor ever fights Khabib after UFC 209 fiasco

There's no news yet on Khabib Nurmagomedov's condition after being hospitalized due to a bad weight cut at UFC 209, but middleweight champion Michael Bisping thinks the undefeated Dagestani ruined his chances of ever fighting Conor McGregor for the lightweight title.

Nurmagomedov, who has faced weight cutting problems in the past and was 3.5 pounds over the lightweight limit against Abel Trujillo at UFC 160, was removed from his highly anticipated interim title fight against Tony Ferguson at UFC 209.

It was a devastating blow to 'The Eagle's' reputation, and his future as a lightweight contender is now in question.
