Conor McGregor is inching closer to finalizing a fight with UFC star Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018 because he's hemorrhaging cash in a bad way ... so says Khabib's manager.
"Conor's running out of money," Ali Abdelaziz tells TMZ Sports ... "This is why he agreed to fight Khabib."
Interesting statement considering McGregor is said to have made close to $100 mil for the Mayweather fight.
"It's okay," Ali says ... "We're gonna contribute of him making some money, but at the end of the day we owe him an ass whooping.
