Conor McGregor – Khabib Nurmagomedobv talks World Cup Final appearance
UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has revealed he didn’t confront Conor McGregor at the World Cup Final as he didn’t believe there was any point in causing a scene.
“I thought I’d meet McGregor at the Luzhniki Stadium,” Nurmagomedov told Championat. “But even if we meet now, we still will not be able to find out who is stronger.
“If there was a cage in the middle of the arena, it would be more interesting. And now something to find out on the street and so on. We are not at that age and not in that position.
“It would be ideal if there were no one around. Or vice versa – to the full stadium, in the middle of the cage, and in it – we.
“In general, I see no reason to approach him now. We are hospitable people. Let the football look, enjoy Russia.”
Conor McGregor fight update from Khabib Nurmagomedov
Nurmagomedov has revealed there’s been no development in booking his grudge match with ‘The Notorious’ but he’s hopeful of facing his predecessor at the summit of the UFC‘s lightweight division before the end of the year.
After discussing McGregor’s presence at the World Cup final – where France ran our 4-2 winners over Croatia – ‘The Eagle’ said: “We, I think, will meet this year in Las Vegas.”
“I think only Conor can make (this) decision.
“If he wants to lose and make money, he has to say, ‘Yes, I’m going to sign this contract and come back.’
“Because people forget about when he fight last time.”
