“I think regardless of the result, I think I should probably face both of these men. I would like to face both of these men. I would like to face Tony Ferguson. We managed Tony, he was well looked after. He is one of the highest-paid non-champions in the game. there’s history with Tony. Of course, the rematch. We must make the rematch, I am pushing for the Moscow bout. I would love to do that. Both men are certainly in the cross-hairs.”
Said Conor McGregor when asked to choose between a rematch with Khabib Nurmagomedov or a lightweight title match against Tony Ferguson. He showed interest in fighting both the fighters.
