The UFC Drought is Coming to a Close as We Approach UFC 246
The UFC drought has been depriving fans of their weekend rituals. In fact, the promotion hasn’t put on a card since UFC Busan back on December 21st, 2019. However, the promotion plans on ringing in the New Year of 2020 with the biggest star in Conor McGregor. Speaking of McGregor, most of his dialogue these days hasn’t really incorporated his upcoming opponent “Cowboy” Donald Cerrone. So, let us not waste any more time… let us dig into the MMA rumor mill.
The Rumor Mill
As always these are rumors that have been talked about behind closed doors between MMA higher-ups, so take them as MMA rumors.
Authority always wins and so does the Sunday Morning Rumor Mill. Celebrate one of these on the seventh day of this great week.
- As mentioned above, Conor McGregor has been spending his time talking about Khabib Nurmagomedov. It seems like Conor’s next target, however, he’s also made equal time on his call out list for Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal.
- Conor believes that his loss against Khabib at UFC 229 wasn’t as lopsided as we think. He thinks he won the 1st round by out striking Khabib and the third.
- Next, he finished by saying he believes that Khabib is actually scared of the rematch. To use exact words, he’s apparently “trembling with fear.”
- While that is highly doubtful, more news has released about Floyd Mayweather Jr in regard to working with the UFC. Although Floyd’s father said he would whoop Dana White’s a** if Floyd ever stepped foot in the octagon.
- All things are leading towards Mayweather competing inside of the UFC octagon in 2020. In what capacity? We have no idea.
- But, UFC President Dana White said he’s going to working with Al Haymon in the summer, and having something for Floyd lined up in the fall.

He thinks he won the 1st round by out striking Khabib and the third. -Fact he did win the third and the first round is debatable so its up to the viewer.
Next, he finished by saying he believes that Khabib is actually scared of the rematch. To use exact words, he’s apparently “trembling with fear.” – Connor was injured we all know he clearly wasnt him self when he entered the ring. Any normal person could see something was off. Khabib struggled far more than he expected.
Honestly I dont think Khabib wants the fight as he doubts himself against connor. But then again will Khabib even be relavent come UFC 249?
