Khabib was talking to reporters in his native Dagestan, Russia on Tuesday, February 4, when he was asked about comments his manager Abi Abdelaziz made about tycoons in Saudi Arabia reportedly offering $100 million to host the rematch with McGregor. Khabib shot that idea down immediately and said he is only focusing on his fight with Tony Ferguson in April. He went on to say that the $100 million could be better spent by helping the needy. Khabib said: “…giving me $100 million for me to beat up that idiot again? I don’t think that’s rational.” McGregor has called for a rematch with Khabib many times and each time Khabib has expressed his lack of interest in it. Conor McGregor isn’t one to stay quiet, so it’s pretty much guaranteed that he will respond to Khabib’s comments and call for a rematch yet again. Does anyone want to place an over/under bet on how long it will take for Khabib to come around and face off against Conor McGregor in the octagon?
