Conor McGregor claims Khabib Nurmagomdov is ‘trembling’ with fear over potential rematch

Conor McGregor is far from finished with his rivalry with UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Just two weeks away from his return to action at UFC 246 where he battles Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in the main event, the former two-division champion has ambitious plans laid out for 2020, but the opponent that still sits at the top of his hit list is Nurmagomedov.

McGregor fell to the undefeated Russian by fourth-round rear -aked choke in their initial meeting back in October 2018 but ever since that time, the Irish superstar has been clamoring for a rematch.
