Is it Going to Be McGregor vs Khabib After UFC 242?
McGregor vs Khabib is a rematch that people have been talking about for quite a long time – but while McGregor is trying his best to get this match confirmed, Khabib has constantly refused it. Khabib has said he doesn’t want to fight a man who keeps on losing. He challenged McGregor to pile up a few wins before challenging him again.
Nonetheless, a McGregor vs Khabib II is indeed going to happen sometime in the future and everyone from Dana White to the casual fans are confident about it.
