Morning Report: If not GSP or Conor McGregor, Khabib Nurmagomedov looking at Dustin Poirier, Eddie Alvarez for title shot

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.
