What's up? does all this mean? Someone will say that nothing is new, because the rumors that a duel is in preparation are not the first month. That's true, but now the Irishman has said this directly, which was not the case before. Until now, he had only stated the theoretical possibility of a fight with Habib, but he acknowledged that the work was underway and almost completed.

Habib and his team stoke interest in the battle since the victory over El Yakwenty and the conquest of the UFC title. It all started with "it's time to meet the chicken" – the phrase Habib threw at a solemn meeting at Makhachkala airport.

Since then, thrash metal in Russian performance has been a lot. The most recent is his comment on the court's decision to let McGregor go free for attacking a bus in Brooklyn in front of UFC 223.

Conor is of race individual champions, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Roger Federer, Floyd Mayweather: it's not enough for them to do what they want, they must be in the lead only. Second, they feel extremely uncomfortable.

At the same time, McGregor understands that fighting for him will not be easy, and therefore he does not hesitate to accept. The contract could have been signed a long time ago, but until now, this moment has been postponed every time. The Irish, to have a good chance of success, must train very well. He has not played at the UFC since November 2016, and such a simple can have the most negative effect.
