McGregor coach Kavanagh has two return opponents in mind

The Dagestani sambo savant was offered a fight against Alvarez – the then-UFC lightweight champion – ahead of last year’s landmark UFC 205 event in NY, only for McGregor to swoop in and seize the match-up.

It comes as no surprise that Nurmagomedov is heading into the fight as the favourite, but I think Ferguson will pick up the interim Lightweight title. With the money he makes can you blame him? This fight, for me, is fake fight. “He [McGregor] catches him a few times and he [Alvarez] falls down”.

But with McGregor still chasing a huge payday by booking a fight against Floyd Mayweather, the future UFC fight is still uncertain.

With no fighter being able to find the answer to Nurmagomedov’s elite grappling prowess so far, some have been mislabeling this bout with the hackneyed and outdated “striker vs grappler” tag.

The Russian put UFC president Dana White on blast during the break between rounds, telling him “I’m gonna smash your boy”.

A fight involving Conor McGregor and Rafael dos Anjos will not happen yet, however fans saw a great match back n the UFC 196 battle.

Rush’s return Who is Georges St-Pierre?

From a young age, Khabib Nurmagomedov – 24-0 in his MMA career and considered a rising star – was coached by his father, an army veteran who used unusual training methods, The Guardian noted. “To be honest, I worry about that because I like it when people don’t know me”. He jump over all contenders.

“We have real fight now”.

According to the time stamp on the video, the main event of Nurmagomedov vs. Bear went down only three days after the elite UFC lightweight contender turned nine.

Ferguson, who won season 13 of the Ultimate Fighter, promises not to leave the fight in the hands of the judges.

“El Cucuy” has a massive weekend ahead of him.

“Of course I want a belt, but with belt comes that insane attention”, said Khabib on “The MMA Hour”. With the skills that both fighters have, the fight may just be as good as predicted. “He’s got the ground (game), he’s got stand up, he’s going to bring everything. You know, even with Conor getting the – if and when the Mayweather fight was to happen and he got that out of the way – I know, like myself, I do believe his true love is free combat sports and there is no freer combat sport than mixed martial arts and he is the UFC lightweight champion”, Kavanagh said. “I know I’m a bad matchup for you but you the champion and you need to fight the best. This Saturday, hungry eagle is gonna eat home cat”.
