Morning Report: Joe Rogan ‘guarantees’ Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Floyd Mayweather would sell ‘at least 1M PPV buys’

After inciting a brawl after UFC 229, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor were temporarily suspended until the Nevada Athletic Commission could investigate the matter. Later this week, the NAC is holding a hearing where they are expected to submit their ruling, after which, both fighters should be eligible to compete one again. McGregor seemingly has his sights set on a battle with Donald Cerrone but Nurmagomedov, at least publicly, has been weighing his options. The most obvious choice is to once again try and fight Tony Ferguson but the most lucrative is a fight that is stirring up some controversy among the MMA fanbase, a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather.
