With the massive success of the first Khabib Nurmagomedov-Conor McGregor fight in 2018, it’s logical from a monetary standpoint to follow it up with a sequel.

“It would be Khabib vs. Conor on The Ultimate Fighter, coaching. It would have been f—king huge. Probably would have went to the hospital because he would have beat his ass and his whole team. Or Justin Gaethje vs. [McGregor].
“I talked with Khabib yesterday,” Abelaziz added. “He said, ‘This man is human trash. He’s like garbage. When you touch sh-t, you smell sh-t.’ He said, ‘He doesn’t earn the fight. You understand? He doesn’t earn the fight.’”
Right now, Khabib’s focus is set on Justin Gaethje, whom he faces at UFC 254. As far as the McGregor rematch goes, Abdelaziz is already putting it all behind them.
“Hey, if he wants to do The Ultimate Fighter with he can,” Abdelaziz said of McGregor. “If he wants to do Kamaru Usman, The Ultimate Fighter with Khamzat Chimaev, yes he can. If Justin choose to, that’s okay too.
“He can forget about Khabib. He can forget about the rematch. Done. Dead. Never. Khabib will never fight him.”
