UFC: Khabib’s father tells Conor McGregor ‘Moscow is waiting for him’ if he wants rematch

Khabib’s Nurmagomedov’s father has added fuel to the fire for a Conor McGregor rematch, saying “Moscow is waiting”.

The Irishman had said “book my rematch in Moscow” after Khabib said he could next fight at a stadium in the Russian capital following his successful lightweight title defence against Dustin Poirier in Abu Dhabi last month.

And Khabib’s father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, seems open to letting McGregor try his luck in enemy territory.

“If McGregor wants it, then Moscow is waiting for him,” Abdulmanap said in an interview with Zhivina100.

“He said once that he has more fans here than Khabib. We want to host him in Moscow, he is welcome – we are waiting.”
