“But before McGregor we should finish our business with Ferguson,” Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov admitted.” Because he had 28 fights, and runs a 12-fight winning streak in the UFC, just like Khabib. Such winning streaks and such big fights have never happened in the UFC,” he added.
I really hope to see the rematch. McGregor has got way too much him. I mean I get it, he punched the guy on that bar and stuff, but people are sleeping on him. He's had 3 losses, and all of them were extremely difficult fights. McGregor if anything can be said about him is that he has balls. He wants Khabib in Russia. Everyone would be scared to even dare to do that. Now he must be happy because Khabib does pretty much anything his dad says, so I can really see this happening in 2020. I just wonder if McGregor is going to have an intermediate fight.
The obvious bet is Khabib winning as usual, but people saying that Khabib will have an easy night against McGregor are underrating him. I don't consider the upset happening to be impossible. I mean we've had Ruiz and other upsets happening, why couldn't McGregor do it again? There's a chance if he fixes his cardio and is also more prone to exchange on the feet without constant treat of takedowns. He did better than Barboza, Johnson and Poirier after a big time out. If he remain active im going to give him a chance.
But for this to happen, first goes Fergusson, and that is an huge night for Khabib. I really wonder if he can beat Fergusson. In any case, it seems the rematch is in 100%.
