Morning Report: Dana White still keen on Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor 2, but ‘I don’t know if Conor wants to wait’

Earlier this year, Conor McGregor made his triumphant return to the Octagon after over a year off, knocking out Donald Cerrone in 40 seconds at UFC 246. Immediately after the fight, UFC President Dana White made it clear he believed the next fight that made sense for McGregor was a rematch with lightweight champion. The only problem with that is that Nurmagomedov already has a date with Tony Ferguson next month at UFC 249, and with the event drawing nearer, and neither fighter showing any signs of pulling out just yet, it seems that McGregor and White might both be making other arrangements.
