Team Khabib Now Willing to Accept McGregor Rematch
Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father and coach Abdulmanap has laid out what it’ll take to get Khabib vs. McGregor 2, and it’s a whole lotta cheese. According to Khabib’s father and head coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, his son is willing to budge slightly on his refusal to rematch [$80 million] Conor McGregor.
"We also need revenge against Conor,” Abdulmanap told RIA Novosti. “But give us $100 million. The day after the fight against Ferguson, give us that amount and then why not get revenge? I don’t know, maybe Dana White wants to arrange it (for that amount), he needs that fight.”
“Nothing surprising. I saw nothing new,” Abdulmanap said about Conor vs. Cerrone. “This is the 170-pound weight division, where the strongest fighters are gathered, regardless of weight category. Therefore, I think that absolutely nothing has changed in this weight. The current champion has remained on the throne.
“The top contender for the lightweight title is Tony Ferguson. If Conor wants to prove something at welterweight, then there are Kamaru Usman, Colby Covington, Jorge Masvidal -- these are the greatest fighters. McGregor and Cerrone in this weight aren’t even top ten."
