Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov have one of the most bitter rivalries in MMA history. However, Conor seems to have become more mature than what he used to be in 2018.

With many speculating Khabib may fight Conor one more time to end his career at 30-0, Conor has commented on it. He said he will respect Khabib’s personal wishes, but also added the caveat that this rivalry is not over.

“I don’t really care. He did not say that, Dana said that. He said he’s not. Let’s just get through the fight. All these men are up here despite the challenges. It is a tough business and the things happening in his personal life, I don’t wish him any harm.

“Things happened in 2018 and a lot of time has passed, but the world knows this fight isn’t over. This war isn’t over. The sport needs it to happen, the people need it to happen. I’m not gonna chase it if he doesn’t want it. I’ll keep my calm and move on.”

Conor McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov II: Is this feasible?

If Khabib breaks his retirement to come back, there are only 2 fights that are worth it. The first would be a super-fight with Georges St-Pierre and the 2nd would be a rematch with Conor McGregor.

While many would expect Khabib to repeat his strong win from the first fight, it would still be the biggest fight the UFC has seen.

Conor will put his legacy on the line in a rematch. If the scorecard reads 2-0 in favor of Khabib, Conor’s legacy will be negatively affected. However, both men’s bank accounts would be absolutely stuffed after a rematch.

If Khabib wants one last fight to get 30-0 on his record, Conor would make sense. He can make a massive amount of money in one fight and can use the money for his various business venture. It makes sense. However, whether he is willing to break his word like that is another matter altogether.
