Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov 2 possibly taking place in 2019 is something that could happen. This is according to UFC President Dana White, who stated such during a recent interview.

This is a fight that many fight fans have had mixed reactions to as some want to see it while others don’t due to their first fight. It was a lopsided fight that saw the UFC lightweight champion dominate the former champ-champ.

McGregor lost to Nurmagomedov in the headliner of UFC 229 from Las Vegas, Nevada. This was supposed to be his grand return. Obviously, that didn’t come true as he lost in the fourth round by neck crank. Obviously there is a lot of money to be made due to the post-fight brawl. The reason for such bad blood is due to Khabib being upset at McGregor for the comments that he made in the build-up to this fight.

McGregor made some harsh comments about Khabib’s people among other things. Which is why Khabib thinks that jumping out of the Octagon to start a brawl with Dillon Danis was appropriate.

White doing an interview with TMZ, the UFC boss made it known that he thinks a rematch between them will go down in 2019.

‘Yeah I do,’ White told TMZ (H/T to Metro.co). ‘Obviously guys are going to have to win, and then there’s the suspensions. But yeah, as long as everything goes right, this fight should happen.’

Khabib’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, believes that his client fighting former UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson would be an easy fight. That is a strong statement to make but Ali has never had an issue with speaking his mind.

UFC President Dana White has made his stance known regarding the next fight for Khabib Nurmagomedov. Although a rematch against former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor makes sense, he would like Ferguson get the next title shot.

At the end of the day, Abdelaziz wants to get Nurmagomedov his biggest payday possible. In his mind, Ferguson “cannot move the needle” when it comes to pay-per-view buys.

“I think it took 11 or 10 fights for (Nurmagomedov) to become champion,” Abdelaziz said to MMAJunkie. “It’s the longest winning streak outside Tony. Now, you can’t be like, ‘Fight somebody who is not going to help you sell pay-per-view.’”

At the end of the day, what is next for Khabib all comes down to the decision made by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. That call will be made on January 29th for his punishment in the role that he played in the UFC 229 brawl. When it comes to Ferguson, Abdelaziz anticipates an easy paycheck for the champ but it won’t be his biggest payday.

“Tony Ferguson is an unbelievable fighter, but I’m telling you, he’s one of the easiest fights for Khabib out there,” Abdelaziz said. “He’s sloppy. He’s slow. Khabib will beat him. He will put a beating on him, a worse (beating) on him maybe than (he did to Conor). The fight will happen, but when it will happen, I don’t know.”
