Conor McGregor made his triumphant return to the UFC Octagon in January by defeating Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone via first-round TKO at UFC 246.

That victory came 15 months after his last fight, a fourth-round submission loss to undefeated lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229.

If McGregor had his way, he'd get a rematch with Khabib sooner rather than later, per UFC President Dana White.

"I would have to say Conor vs. Khabib," White said in a Reddit AMA (h/t ESPN MMA) when asked what rematch he would like to see the most.
