Khabib Nurmagomedov wants absolutely nothing to do with Conor McGregor and turned down the opportunity to coach a team on The Ultimate Fighter opposite ‘Notorious’. His manager, Ali Abdelaziz, sat down with TMZ sports and discussed Conor McGregor and his recent posts to social media. He also spoke about Dana White offering the winner of the main event at UFC 254 the opportunity to coach a team on the next TUF season.

Abdelaziz speaking about his phone call with Dana White said, “Last week Dana White called me. He said, ‘Ali, what do you think if Khabib wins him and Conor do ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ on ESPN?’ This is breaking news. I said, ‘I don’t know. I’ll think about it.’ And he said, of course, [vice versa] if Justin wins.”

He added, “It would be Khabib vs. Conor on The Ultimate Fighter, coaching. It would have been f—ing huge. Probably would have went to the hospital because he would have beat his a** and his whole team. Or Justin Gaethje vs. [McGregor].”

Khabib Nurmagomedov labels Conor McGregor as “trash” 

Even the thought of coaching opposite McGregor in TUF seemed repulsive to the current lightweight champion. Without any hesitation, he turned down the offer and said it’s up to Gaethje if he wants to take this gig and make easy money. However, there is no way Nurmagomedov wants to be associated with his UFC 229 opponent anymore.

Ali Abdelaziz said, “I talked with Khabib yesterday. He said, ‘This man is human trash. He’s like garbage. When you touch s—t, you smell s—t. He doesn’t earn the fight. You understand? He doesn’t earn the fight. Listen, if Justin wins, whatever, and he wants the easy payday, yeah, go ahead and fight Conor if you want. But I don’t know if even Conor still in the conversations because Justin said, ‘I gotta give him an opportunity,’ but he didn’t want the fight.”

Khabib Nurmagomedov is clear that he will not take the TUF gig, even if he beats ‘The Highlight’ at UFC 254 on Fight Island. Do you see ‘The Eagle‘ maintaining his legendary streak, or will ‘The Highlight’ reign supreme?
