That&#8217;s gotta happen, and when that does we can figure out how this whole thing plays out. Is Max [Holloway] moving to [1]55 [pounds]? Tony Ferguson&#8230; Obviously in the mix. So we gotta see how this thing plays out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, I do [think the rematch happens].

Well, that, unfortunately, hasn&#8217;t quite been the case.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, some may even say it&#8217;s gotten slightly worse as the champion awaits his fine and suspension for his post-fight antics at UFC 229 when he defeated Conor McGregor. Which is a problem in its own right.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Dana White saying the Nurmagomedov vs McGregor rematch is a possibility, he at least continues to mention Tony Ferguson, who many want to see get the next shot.
