“I don’t know what the marketing and matchmaker plans are. Anything can happen. Previously, management has repeatedly met him. The UFC loves McGregor because he brings them money. Of course, they will make concessions to him, ”Makhachev told RT.

The fighter also noted that, although his conflict with the Irish remained in the past, he would not want to meet him outside the ring.

“I don’t think that our meeting with McGregor will be limited to simple, friendly communication. Of course, there will be a conflict. So it’s better for us not to cross with Conor, ”Makhachev added.

Islam said earlier that it would have agreed to fight with the Irish if the UFC representatives made him a similar proposal.
