Det pratas just nu mycket om den forne dubbelmästaren Conor McGregor och vem hans näste motståndare kommer att bli.
Tidigare såg en match mot Donald Cerrone ut att bli av, men McGregor ville inte gå match i co-main.
Det pratas även om att McGregor har blivit erbjuden ett möte mot boxaren Paulie Malignaggi i Bareknuckle.
McGregor uttrycker dock fortfarande stort intresse för att gå en returmatch mot Khabib Nurmagomedov, för att ta igen förlusten under UFC 229.
Det här hade McGregor att säga:

McGregor: “There was dispute in this last fight. I slapped his brother and cousin around on top of the cage. He tried to jump out and run. This is not over. So there’s dispute, there’s got to be a rematch. pic.twitter.com/PLDcxavMWV

If you do it time after time and year after year, that’s when the motivation kind of dips, that’s when the dedication kind of lacks, and that’s when people creep up. That’s what I feel has happened here, I didn’t give him his respect, I marched forward, I didn’t give a sh*t, I got caught with that overhand. If I switched on, I would not get caught with that overhand in any form of combat. I’m very confident, very eager, very in shape, let’s keep it going.
Imagine almost dropping someone cause he almost got me, but he didn’t drop me. I got to my feet, threw shots, threw a knee, and he shot for a takedown. Imagine almost dropping someone with a picture-perfect shot, a picture-perfect punch, and then shooting for the legs. You almost got the fight done and you shoot for the legs, stand up and fight.
McGregor nämner dispyten mellan de två, som till slut urartade i ett stort bråk mellan de två teamen efter deras möte.
Han menar att detta är en stor anledning till att de måste mötas igen.
When there’s dispute, there must be a rematch. There was dispute in my last one, I slapped his brother and his cousin on top of the cage, he [Nurmagomedov] tried to jump out and run. This is not over, so there’s dispute, there has to be a rematch.
McGregor förlorade via submission i den fjärde ronden när de två möttes i oktober förra året.
Vad tycker ni om det McGregor säger? Vill ni se ett returmöte mellan de två?
