The former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor is returning inside the Octagon in the fight against former interim champion Dustin Poirier. A lot of things are riding on the result of this fight, even the future of the Flyweight division; this also includes a potential rematch of Conor with Khabib Nurmagomedov.
UFC president Dana White is planning to meet Khabib Nurmagomedov at Fight Island and convince him to come back for one more fight. In his latest appearance on Shout! Podcast, White says “When I fly out there, Khabib’s going to be there, too,”
“So I’m going to meet with Khabib while I’m there. In a perfect world, if Conor wins this fight, I would love to see the rematch with him and Khabib. It’s the fight that makes sense.”
The first time when Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov faced each other they produced the largest PPV buys for UFC i.e. around 2.4 million buys. If they will face each other again the magnitude of this fight is going to be on another level.
Dana White isn’t taking Poirier out of this fight
It is certainly visible that the idea of booking Conor vs Khabib 2 excites Dana White also but he isn’t taking Dustin Poirier out at any point. White knows very well that to get Khabib, Conor needs to pass Dustin Poirier which isn’t going to be an easy task.
White added, “Poirier has wanted this fight so bad since the first one, and obviously neither one of these guys are the same fighters they were the first time they fought,”
“It’s a very interesting fight. Conor’s been off for a while, but if you look at his training right now he looks damn good. He’s in great shape. Poirier’s in great shape. Could be a fun one.”
