Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager has shut down any chance of Conor McGregor getting another crack at the UFC lightweight champion.
“The Notorious” called for a rematch – even suggesting Moscow for the location – after the Russian retained his title with a third-round submission of Dustin Poirier in Abu Dhabi last weekend.
UFC president Dana White suggested a McGregor rematch “makes sense” if No 1-ranked Tony Ferguson doesn’t want the fight. But Ali Abdelaziz has shut down that notion.
“Conor is like a sour ex-girlfriend, she can’t get anybody else. This is what Conor is – he’s irrelevant,” Abdelaziz told TMZ Sports.


“You heard what Justin Gaethje said, he’s not a good person. The train has left without him. We don’t wanna talk about Conor, honestly.
“Khabib had such an amazing night on Saturday, he fought a great fighter, he beat a world champion, this is what we should talk about. Conor? Who cares. No, we already beat him, we whooped his ass.”
Conor McGregor tells Dustin Poirier ‘I’ll think about’ UFC rematch after social media call-out
Khabib submitted the Irishman with a neck crank in the fourth round of their acrimonious fight last October, where the bad blood spilled outside the octagon before and after the fight.
“He [McGregor] made it this ugly, this is the only thing he can do, promote ugliness,” Abdelaziz said. “We don’t promote ugliness, we Muslims will promote peace. We fight in a violent sport but you saw what Khabib and Poirer did at the end of the fight, it was nothing but respect.
“We don’t wanna go through this Conor b******* again. There is a 0.0 per cent chance.”
