UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has turned down $15 million for a rematch with Conor McGregor, according to the UFC champion's uncle.
McGregor was soundly beaten by the Russian when he challenged for the lightweight title earlier this month. He immediately demanded a rematch despite the pair facing a ban from the Nevada State Athletic Commission for their roles in the post-fight riot.
UFC president Dana White confirmed McGregor had asked him for a second bite at the cherry, and now Nurmagomedov's uncle has claimed an offer has been made, Mirror reported.
"[Conor] is not interested in Khabib," Alex Nurmagomedov told Russian newspaper Sport Express. "He will not fight him for any money. Yes, I know that they are offering him a rematch. From the start, they offered him $15m, if he agrees.
"But Khabib said no. Let Conor stand in line, let him fight with others. Khbib wants to fight [Tony] Ferguson, and then finish his career."
