“I am confident we get the set date. There is no one holding no one back. A lot goes on behind the scenes but all involved are working hard to make it happen”
Diss Aimed At Khabib Nurmagomedov
McGregor was also asked who he’d like to fight in a rematch if given an opportunity. In a since deleted X post, the “Notorious” one dissed Khabib Nurmagomedov.
“Khabib. He is fighting’s biggest chicken”
McGregor’s likely opponent is the man he served as an opposing coach with on “The Ultimate Fighter,” Michael Chandler. McGregor says he won’t allow Chandler’s positive personality to stop him from reaching his goal.
“Yes, I think he is a good guy. Albeit I won’t get over connected to that like past. Emotionless. A working man with a job in front of him. A handy job hahaha”
McGregor also admitted that he hasn’t lost sight of a potential fourth outing with Dustin Poirier.
“Let’s be real, it’s a must. Unfinished.”
