With UFC 226 over and done with, the eyes of the MMA world now turn to the end of the year schedule for the UFC and the possibility of some major fights on the horizon. Perhaps the biggest of these fights is the potential blockbuster match-up between UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and former champion Conor McGregor.
McGregor and Nurmagomedov have been circling each other since their respective wins at UFC 205 in 2016 and now the timing looks right for the UFC to book one of the biggest possible fights in MMA right now.
