Looking at the current UFC situation, it seems that the tiff between former Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor and the current champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is far from getting a conclusion so soon. After tasting defeat in the first encounter at UFC 229, Conor McGregor has shown his interest in the rematch multiple times through social media. Conor tweeted to book his rematch at Moscow after Khabib’s immediate victory against Dustin Poirier at UFC 242 but faced heavy backlash and trolls from the fans. Despite the trolls, the Irishman kept his social media policy strong and recently posted a GIF regarding Khabib.
Book my rematch for Moscow.
