The suspensions stemming from the Conor McGregor-Khabib Nurmagomedov brawl last October have been handed down, and now the UFC can begin to plan how 2019 will be handled.
UFC President Dana White told TMZ Sports that the rematch is what he is working toward. And while Nurmagomedov told Australian reporters he is not keen on the rematch (h/t TMZ Sports), the landscape shows that the onus is on McGregor to make this fight happen.
That's news no other lightweight contender wants to hear as they hope to grab gold.
