Conor McGregor Challenged By UFC Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, UFC On FOX 30 Fight Card

- UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov wants to face Conor McGregor. After McGregor solved his legal problems, "The Eagle" let it be known that he is ready for "Notorious."

"There's no more talking," Ali Abdelaziz told MMA Fighting. "This is the Khabib show now. To be honest, the way I feel about it, Conor would be much safer in jail. If this fight happens, the person who would execute the community service is Khabib by giving this ass whooping for the people."
