Khabib manager says next fight will NOT be rematch vs ‘scumbag’ Conor McGregor as he labels UFC legend Notorious ‘s***’

KHABIB NURMAGOMADOV’S manager has told Conor McGregor to dream on over a re-match against the Russian.

Ali Abdelaziz has branded the Irishman “one of the biggest scumbags” in UFC — and says the 2018 submission win for Khabib will be the last time they fight.

McGregor, 31, is desperate to face Nurmagomedov again after his comeback from obscurity with a 40-second win over Donald Cerrone last month.

But Abdelaziz was clear over his client’s stance.

He told ESPN: “The only chance this fight could happen is in the street.

“(McGregor would) have to do something spectacular. He’s s***, you understand?

“Conor McGregor is one of the biggest stars because he’s one of the biggest scumbags. Let’s be real, we don’t like this guy. We’re never gonna like him.

“Probably every time we see him, there’s gonna be problems.

“He said things about family, things about religion, things about race. He crossed the line… you can’t cross the line.”

Khabib has not fought since September, where he beat Dustin Poirier in three rounds to defend his UFC lightweight championship title.

The undefeated 31-year-old will face Tony Ferguson at UFC 249 after years of managing to avoid each other.

The fight is due to take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on April 18, while there have been rumours his next fight could be his last.

Khabib said: “I don’t want to think about the future, I still have to live to April, I still have to fight, I need to win. So, I don’t like to look too far ahead.

“Now we have an opponent, Tony Ferguson, a very serious opponent. And I think it’s necessary to have this fight then we’ll sit down and think about what’s next.

“We’ll consider whether there’s any point in fighting any more. There will always be a reason to fight, money.

“But will we need it? We’ll think about it. I feel good now.

“I’m 31 and it’s a very good age to fight, and for sport. I’m far from retirement age, but it’s around the corner.”
