Ali stated, “I am tired about talking of this guy. But you know what, I am assuming the truth. Listen, we all know that he (McGregor) is picking that (Poirier). I am not saying Dustin is not good, Dustin’s really good.’
“But realistically, if you really wanna put yourself in his position, who’s number 1? He could have called out Justin, I know he turned down Justin two times. And it’s fine.
“I know he’s (McGregor) the moneymaker, he’s this guy but, realistically, how do you know he’s motivated? how do you know he’s this (the old McGregor),” said Ali with a smirk.
Conor McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov 2, will it happen?
The world knew what happened the last time both these fighters collided. Khabib smothered McGregor with a submission victory in Round 4. Till today, the Irishman has been calling out the Dagestani powerhouse for a rematch.
