When Dana White was asked if Conor McGregor was fighting Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 he said it is not true and that it’s Khabib Nurmagomedov who is getting the shot.
Khabib says “Me and Dana just waiting for Eddie to sign. I promise I will finish you fast and with no pain.” He also tells Eddie “Checkmate you don’t have much time let’s do this” and then Eddie Alvarez began tweeting at Conor McGregor saying “Let’s do this, I’m ready, your future’s not bright, enjoy this one while it lasts. The illusion of Greatness will soon be Over. It’s time for Truth!”
FloSports managing editor Jeremy Botter also says Conor won’t be on UFC 205, but makes a hypothesis that he will take on Georges St-Pierre in his next bout. Based on the rankings, Khabib would be the rightful challenger for the UFC lightweight title.
