Rematch for what? Before last fight he talked, talked but when we were inside the cage he don\u2019t do nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor first fought on October 6, in the main event of the record-breaking UFC 229 pay-per-view. On that night, Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor by fourth-round submission to retain the UFC lightweight title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the fight, the pair and several members of their respective teams engaged in a post-fight brawl, both inside and outside the Octagon. The parties involved in this chaotic post-fight scene are currently awaiting discipline from the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Their hearing is currently scheduled for January 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khabib Nurmagomedov is quick to remind that, until this situation is squared away, there will be no fight. Once that&#8217;s settled, he can begin seriously looking at the options for his next opponent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnyone. Anyone,\u201d Khabib said. \u201cBut we have to wait for court. . . We\u2019re just waiting for Nevada Athletic Commission on January 29. I have a call. We will see.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khabib Nurmagomedov is currently a jaw-dropping 27-0 overall, with wins over McGregor, Al Iaquinta, Edson Barboza, Michael Johnson, Rafael dos Anjos and many others on his impressive resume.
