Gunnar Nelson Believes McGregor Will Rematch Nurmagomedov, Plans To Help Next Time

Gunnar Nelson believes Conor McGregor will fight Khabib Nurmagomedov again at some point, and he believes he may be an important part of helping his teammate fare better in the rematch.

Nelson, an Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight, is also a grappling wiz and longtime stablemate of McGregor at SBG Ireland. The 30 year-old Icelander spoke to “The Mac Life” ahead of his bout against Alex Oliveira this weekend at UFC 231 and explained why he was forced to sit out of McGregor’s training camp for the first Nurmagomedov fight.
