The last time Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor were in the same building together, mayhem ensued. Nonetheless, he could show up at UFC 242 in Abu Dhabi, a card headlined by the UFC lightweight title fight between Khabib and interim champion Dustin Poirier.

At least, according to UFC president Dana White.

“Yeah,” White responded when asked by ESPN’s Brett Okamoto if he expects a McGregor appearance on September 7th. “He could, possibly. He hasn’t said (anything), I’m not (breaking any news here).

“He could probably show up to that fight, but I don’t know if he will. He hasn’t said anything to me.”

if the guy is smart he would lay low until all his troubles are sorted out.his lawyer has probably told him so. another violent outburst in public wont look good when he still has rape charges in europe. getting arrested in a muslim country for starting shit with a high profile muslim sounds like a terrible idea too. i dont think he will show up but probably will make some kind of cocky tweets instead. dana on the other hand wants him to show up and throw a dolly thru the window again so he can act fake outraged but use it to promote conor vs khabib 2 . dana is practically begging for it.

Conor should come.



I'll respect Conor so much more if he came and started drama, but I doubt he's got the balls

Jesus man, you're supposed to be a fan here, do you not want to see him win a fight at least, before he gets mauled again.

Its been a good few years now.

That's a Win in itself I guess?

With his current drug, drinking and rape habits coupled with an utter absence of respect for the law, I seriously question if Conor could make it out of Abu Dhabi alive.
