The feud between McGregor and Nurmagomedov escalated to new levels in recent days, with Conor taking shots at Khabib’s wife and the undefeated Russian calling the Irishman a “rapist”.
UFC President Dana White recently stated that the promotion has reached out to both Conor and Khabib and let them know that their recent actions on social media were unacceptable.
While nothing has been made official as of this time, it appears that the UFC is beginning to entertain a Khabib vs McGregor rematch.
As for Tony Ferguson, the former UFC interim lightweight champ was last seen in action at October’s UFC 229 event, where he scored a TKO victory over former division champion Anthony Pettis.
