Conor McGregor's hopes of Khabib rematch dealt huge blow

Nurmagomedov successfully defended his belt against Dustin Poirier last weekend with a third-round submission.

The Russian, who is unbeaten in 28 fights, also harbours hopes of a clash with UFC legend Georges St-Pierre who is currently retired."For Khabib, 30-0 is enough," he said. "Regarding his last fight, then of course, we would like his final title defence to be in Moscow." But the champion has no intention of handing his bitter rival a shot at this title again following their acrimonious first fight."Nobody really cares about Tony," said Ali Abdelaziz."Tony doesn't get what he wants; we get what Khabib wants, and if Khabib calls me and says he wants Georges St-Pierre, Georges St-Pierre will be next."He has been recovering from a hand injury but said last month: "It's hard... I'd say we can get it done.
