If the stars align, and Khabib Nurmagomedov defeats Tony Ferguson in the UFC 223 main event, he could welcome Irish mega-star Conor McGregor back to the UFC’s Octagon.
Conor McGregor has hinted that he wants to fight in Russia, and the UFC is on board and in the midst of planning their first trip to the country.
With Khabib being totally undefeated during his professional fighting career, the one glaring advantage he’s had over all his opponents is his ability to control the action in the grappling realm.
A combat sambo master, Khabib seemingly can take his opponents down to the canvas whenever he feels like it.
Conor McGregor on the other hand, has another type of fight equalizer in his ability to knock men out with a single blow.
If the two meet it will be a classic striker vs. grappler matchup. But now, America’s top wrestler is offering his services to Conor McGregor, so that he can beat down the Russian, should the two ever meet inside the UFC’s Octagon.
2016 Olympic wrestling gold medalist, Kyle Snyder hit twitter this afternoon with a direct message to Conor McGregor.
Check it out:
@TheNotoriousMMA if you are ever going to fight Khabib, let me know. We can work on techniques to defend all of his takedown attempts. Best of luck.
