Dana revealed the big news during an appearance on the Menance and The Man podcast with former UFC Featherweight contender Dennis Bermudez. White had mentioned another possible opponent for Masvidal a few days back in an interview with ESPN. As a result, speculations were already running around regarding who the mystery opponent will be.

Khabib Nurmagomedov has been very firm with his terms for the rematch. Conor McGregor proved nothing to him in the first encounter and he does not deserve another shot at the lightweight title. Khabib believes Conor will have to beat some of the top contenders in the division to earn another title shot. Not only that, Khabib also dismissed Conor’s emphatic TKO win over Donald Cerrone at UFC 249.
Conor McGregor has been campaigning for a rematch with Khabib ever since he lost the fight at UFC 229. However, he will have to wait for a little longer as the winner of Tony Ferguson vs Justin Gaethje will have the next shot at the unbeaten lightweight champion.

“Yeah, well. A lot of guys say things. The difference with Khabib, people don’t realize, Fu****g Khabib is rich as fuck. Khabib is rich, very very crazy fu***ng rich. He does not need money.”
After Conor McGregor, Khabib is the biggest name in the sport of MMA. So it is not surprising to find out White making such claims. As per Ali Abdelaziz, promotors in Saudi were offering 100 million for a fight between Khabib and Floyd or Khabib vs Conor.
