Conor McGregor wants his next fight to be a rematch with lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, according to UFC president Dana White.

Speaking to TMZ Sports after the Irishman's 40-second victory over Donald Cerrone on Saturday, his first fight back in the Octagon after 15 months, White said McGregor is eyeing another clash with Khabib:

"Conor wants Khabib. Conor always has a lot of options. He wants Khabib, that's the fight he wants, and we'll see what happens. ... I think Khabib makes sense, too."
