Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight champion, Conor McGregor, is expected to make his mixed martial arts (MMA) return later this year in an attempt to reclaim his title from reigning division kingpin, Khabib Nurmagomedov.
According to Nurmagomedov's manager, Ali Abdelaziz, McGregor has exhausted his funds and has no choice but to make his Octagon return.
"Conor’s running out of money, this is why he agreed to fight Khabib," Abdelaziz told TMZ Sports. "It’s okay, we’re gonna contribute to him making some money, but at the end of the day, we owe him an ass whooping. He needs to get his ass whooped from Khabib."
No timeline has been established for the return of either fighter, though fans shouldn’t expect anything earlier than September, MMA Mania reported.
