The Dagestani phenom was asked about a possible rematch against McGregor during a Q&A held in Russia and as expected, Nurmagomedov shot down the idea.
The Eagle believes that McGregor would have to work his way back up by notching up a few wins before getting another crack at the title. The Russian even claimed that McGregor probably doesn’t even want to get into the Octagon with him again.
Nurmagomedov insisted that the Irishman would have to earn a title shot again just like any other contender in the division.
The undefeated king of the Lightweight division claimed that the fans have started to see through Conor McGregor’s act and dismissed him off as an “idiot” who just doesn’t deserve any attention.
Nurmagomedov is expected to defend his title against Tony Ferguson next year and if he wins the highly-anticipated showdown, the Dagestani intends on moving on towards a super fight with Georges St-Pierre.
As for McGregor, the former double champion should be back inside the Octagon at UFC 246 on January 18th, 2020 for a potential clash against Donald Cerrone.
