Enligt Dana White har lättviktsmästaren i UFC, Conor McGregor, uttryckt intresse att möta Khabib Nurmagomedov på hans hemmaplan, Ryssland. Genom MMAJunkie.com sade White följande.
You know what Conor told me? He said, ‘I want Khabib in Russia. Isn’t he (expletive) awesome? He’s like, ‘I want Khabib, in Russia.’ He’s awesome. Conor McGregor is a (expletive) unicorn. There’s nothing like him. He’s working on boxing Floyd Mayweather and then he’s talking about fighting Khabib in Russia right after.
Men innan en sådan match kan ta plats vill White att Tony Ferguson vs Nurmagomedov tar plats först.
Those guys (have) got to fight. It would have seemed a lot worse if those two guys fought (at UFC 209), and they were all sitting around waiting. It didn’t happen. That fight still needs to happen. So this thing could time out perfectly.
White prisar McGregor för hans entusiasm att vilja göra ’vågade’ drag inom kampsportsvärlden.
Those are the kind of things that make that kid a (expletive) superstar. I’ve got guys telling me, ‘I don’t want to (expletive) – I don’t want to fight this guy, and I don’t want to do this.’ (Conor says), ‘I want Floyd Mayweather then I want (expletive) Khabib in Russia.’ How do you not love him? How do you not love Conor McGregor? Amazing.
McGregor gick sin senaste match mot Eddie Alvarez under UFC 205. En match där irländaren kunde erövra UFCs lättviktsbälte.
