UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is willing to give Conor McGregor a rematch if the Irish MMA star gets by Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n

Nurmagomedov and McGregor fought in 2018, in the main event of UFC 229, which went down as the most successful pay-per-view in the organization’s history. In that fight Nurmagomedov defended his title against McGregor with a fourth-round submission victory.<\/p>\n

Since then, McGregor has repeatedly expressed interest in a rematch, while Nurmagomedov and his team have been hesitant to grant the trash-talking Irishman that opportunity.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a recent press conference in his native Russia, however, Nurmagomedov changed his tune a bit.<\/p>\n

Nurmagomedov is currently scheduled to defend his title against Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 on October 24. If he wins that fight, he’s hoping to fight Georges St-Pierre next.<\/p>\n

However, if St-Pierre isn’t available, Nurmagomedov says he’d be willing to fight McGregor or Tony Ferguson next\u2014so long as they’re able to get by Dustin Poirier first.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I don\u2019t fight St-Pierre, I\u2019d fight anyone who beats\u00a0Dustin Poirier<\/a>\u00a0next, whether it\u2019s\u00a0Tony Ferguson or McGregor, after I fight Gaethje,\u201d Nurmagomedov said (via RT Sport<\/a>). \u201cThat\u2019s if I don\u2019t fight Georges St-Pierre. If he comes back to the UFC and agrees to fight me, I\u2019m fighting him. Why? Because the last time he lost was 2007. My career started in 2008. Together we\u2019ve been undefeated for 25 years. I\u2019m talking in terms of time, not fights. I don\u2019t think the UFC will get another chance to make a fight like that, definitely not in the next 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Georges St-Pierre is next,” Nurmagomedov added. “If not, let Conor beat Poirier, or have Tony beat him, then I\u2019ll fight them. Why? Because right now Poirier is the next contender. We already fought and I beat him, then he came back and beat a top-five guy [Dan Hooker]. So if Conor and Tony beat Poirier, I\u2019ll fight them if I don\u2019t fight Georges St-Pierre.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you think we’ll see a blockbuster rematch between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor down the road?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
