Conor McGregor needs at least one more win if he wants a rematch shot at Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Khabib smacked McGregor at UFC 229, and there’s been nonstop chatter about a rematch. While the Russian-born star initially ruled it out, it sounds like his people are slowly coming around to the idea if McGregor can get another win.

“The only way Conor McGregor can fight for a title is if he beats someone like Justin Gaethje. If he were to do that, it would be hard to deny him,” Khabib’s manager Ali Abdelaziz told ESPN about a potential rematch.

Listen, Khabib can talk all he wants, but we also all know money moves the needle in the fighting game. It dictates everything.
McGregor beat Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, and now it’s time for him to continue climbing up the mountain back to the top.

People want this rematch, which means there’s a ton of money to be made. Dana White is a business genius, and I have no doubt he’ll get a deal done.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s not a matter of if these two fight. It’s a matter of when they get back into the octagon.
