Dana White 'a little confident' he can talk Khabib Nurmagomedov into UFC comeback

[Peli]

“I think his dad wanting him to get to 30-0 is in the back of his mind, and he wants to achieve that because he knew his father wanted it,” White told BT Sport. “But we’ll see. Him and I are getting together next month and talk. He might not want to fight, I don’t know the answer to that. But I’m a little confident that I can talk him into it.”

..
White confirmed McGregor-Porier 2 won’t be for an interim title, but he should know more about the stakes once he speaks with Nurmagovedov.

“No interim title, I’ll know next month,” White said. “I’ll know when Conor and Poirier are fighting, when he’s (Nurmagomedov) going to fight again, so it all times out perfectly.”

Dana knows he's a whore like the rest of them. Despite what his fans want to believe, if you offer him enough money his morals will disappear and he will come back.

Yawn

Shouldn’t he be busy trying to set up Jake Paul vs. Chris Camozzi.

It all depends if Duck St Pierre wants to fight or just do interviews

30-0 incoming

No interim... lol

Conor’s probably so jealous that Khabib is the big dog in the yard now... LMAO

Khabib runs your career Conor... get on your knees and beg for a rematch!

khabib does seem to be different.

Not sure he can be bought to fight again if he doesnt want.

But if I had to bet, he fights again.

The fight to make is with Oliveira. Dana knows it.

 

[Mesos]

Well at least hes not doing another interim belt. Glad UFC cut back on them for a while there was freaking interim belts all over the place

what about Dana old saying if a fighter is thinking about retiring he should retire and he isnt going to try and persuade them. guess he forgot about his little saying

Because he knows he's ducking the rematch and didn't really want to retire

Dana contradicting himself is nothing new and we all know it.

If he only never changed his stance on the "no WMMA in the UFC" then the cards would be so much better today.

Odd comment. Every interview I see with Khabib is 50% questions about Conor. You seem a little upset about it.

 

[wwkirk]

The 30-0 target seems like a legitimate motivator.

 

[joeson]

Dana is going to give him an offer he can't refuse...oh wait, the Fertita's sold the UFC. NVM.

 

[GaryEric]

All this mommy and daddy shit is retarded

 

[Dragonfly7814]

Dana is a scumbag for using Abdulmanaps death as a tool to promote a fight. I hope Khabib says eff off

 

[mikesparrow]

Yeah, sure little boy... Khabib is soooooo scared of Conor...

 

[fortheo]

What rematch? RDA?

He still needs at least one big win.
