We\u2019re going through a couple [of] things, I think it\u2019s going well. But the fight is not finalized yet. That would be a good date for Khabib to come back,&#8221; Abdelaziz said on The MMA Hour (transcript via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2019\/5\/21\/18632908\/ali-abdelaziz-talks-max-holloway-vs-frankie-edgar-gives-updates-khabib-nurmagomedov-cody-garbrandt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MMAFighting<\/a>). Khabib, he gave me \u2014 he wants to fight September, December, and April. These are the three dates he gave me. I let the UFC know. Poirier is a great opponent. You have a lot of lightweight fights coming up. [You] have [Donald] Cerrone and [Tony] Ferguson coming up. You have this guy Conor [McGregor] \u2014 but it\u2019s funny because if Conor went out there and got a win, he might over-leap all these guys again.<\/p>\n<p id=\"BYHtg7\">\u201cIt\u2019s a promotion, right? At the end of the day, [McGregor] wanted a rematch. We said no. Khabib said no, he said it publicly: \u2018No, he\u2019s not getting a rematch. You\u2019ve got to go out there and just get a win.\u2019 \u2026 Everybody knows that\u2019s the biggest money fight you can make, and the UFC\u2019s a company to make money. Conor got a rematch every time he lost, right, outside Floyd. But in a way, I don\u2019t think he deserves it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There is currently no word on whether or not Conor McGregor will fight again. But, if what Abdelaziz is saying is true, the 30-year-old will need to get a win before he gets a title shot again.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Conor McGregor can earn himself another title shot?<\/p>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i> on 5\/21\/2019.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All signs point to UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov taking on the interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier next.
