Nurmagomedov's father, Abdulmanap, has revealed that the UFC have come out with a significant effort to make the rematch between 'The Notorious' and 'The Eagle' a reality.
"They offered $15 million to rematch with Conor," Abdulmanap told Sport 24’s Yaroslav Stepanov.
"But we want $30 million, guys. $30 million!"
Nurmagomedov remains the only UFC champion to hold an undefeated record and he is one of the biggest sports stars in Russia.
Logic would suggest that the streaking Tony Ferguson or Dustin Poirier have earned a shot at the AKA fighter and that's exactly what Nurmagomedov's dad has acknowledged although the fact cannot be ignored that the big money is to be made against McGregor.
"There are guys who deserve and wait for Khabib. We must respect them as fighters," Abdulmanap added.
"This point should also be taken into account. Both the Dustin Poirier and [Tony] Ferguson. Ferguson, I think he deserves it."Explore more on these topics:
