UFC president Dana White and Conor McGregor have been working hard to get the rematch against Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, the Dagestani has separate plans in mind. Khabib is currently lined up against Tony Ferguson for the main event of UFC 249 and he is willing to hang up his gloves in the near future.
According to reports, the lightweight champion of UFC was also offered $100 million to fight Conor McGregor in Saudi Arabia. But, Khabib feels that he is not going to beat an 'idiot' for such a big amount of money when he has already defeated him.
