“Listen, you need to talk about what makes sense. Conor wants a fight with Habib. This is a lot of personal. McGregor is obsessed with revenge. He knows that then he was not one hundred percent ready, ”White quotes the Championship.
He noted that Nurmagomedov became much more popular after defeating McGregor in 2018, and their revenge will be the largest in the world.
“This fight makes sense, a duel for the lightweight title. We need to do a fight with Habib. It is also important for the heritage of Nurmagomedov. If he defeats Ferguson and then defeats McGregor, it turns out that he defeated the best in history, ”added White.
McGregor knocked out Donald Cerrone in 40 seconds in the first round of the UFC 246 tournament in Las Vegas. This victory was his 22nd career with four defeats.
Nurmagomedov’s next fight will take place on April 18. In the title fight, he will meet with Tony Ferguson.
Earlier, Cerrone admitted that McGregor surprised him.
