RE: Dustin Poirier may be next for Khabib Nurmagomedov
I think you may be correct. I don't see the Conor fight being made anytime soon with all the recent rumors coming to light. Such as UFC adding a 165lb division with the new tv deal they have rumored to secure. Plus the rumor of Floyd vs. Conor special rules match in the UFC.
If the 165 lb division rumor is true, I bet Conor lobbys and gets first crack at becoming the first ever UFC 165 lb champion. Possibly showcasing Conor vs. Nate Diaz 3.
I actualy didn't think of that man, but I think after everything that has gone on, we just have to see him and Conor fight now, it's been blown up so much, it's the fight to make.
I agree but Conor is all about money and belts. He picks both over a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov.
If The rumored TV deal between UFC / ESPN and NBC is true then I am almost certain we see Conor fight for the 165 lb belt next.
While I think we would for sure see him give that division a go, I don't think the UFC would want to miss out on the possible massive payday that is Khabib McGregor.
