Khabib Nurmagomedov says Conor McGregor must earn rematch by winning more fights

Undefeated UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is open to a rematch with Conor McGregor, but under one condition — ‘The Notorious’ must start winning fights again.

McGregor, who was submitted by Nurmagomedov at last year’s blockbuster UFC 229 pay-per-view in Las Vegas, hasn’t officially won a fight in almost three years and, speaking to BT Sport in a recent interview, Khabib said the Irishman is currently undeserving of a rematch.

“Have to deserve. I have to keep winning, he have to deserve, and that’s it,” Khabib said, per Clyde Aidoo of MMA News.
