Return match between Conor McGregor and Khabib: Dana White explains 1 thing that must happen

UFC President Dana White has revealed the thing that must happen before a much-anticipated rematch between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov can take place.

The first fight between the two superstars ended with a massive fight between the fighters and those at the edge of the ring after Khabib's victory in the fourth round.

The ugly scenes have, of course, generated a significant demand for revenge and this match would most certainly become the most important fight in the history of the sport.

But White said they had to wait for a Nevada state sports commission hearing in December before considering reuniting the two men in the octagon for the second time.

"I do not know if immediate revenge is happening because we have to see what the Nevada Sports Commission orders in December when this hearing takes place," White told ESPN.

"So, I do not even think about that, I'm thinking of future possibilities, but for now, it's not even worth thinking about until we know what's going on in the future." Nevada."

If revenge were to be organized, calls for strict control of the behavior of fighters and their teams would be tempted to prevent a repeat of their antics in Las Vegas.

Still, White says that he does not believe that they would need to censor fighters who do not broadcast their true thoughts.

"Well, my philosophy on this is that it's a fight," he added. "Since the beginning of time, people have been saying naughty things, no matter the circumstances.

"Muhammad Ali called Joe Frazier an uncle Tom, at the time when it was one of the worst things that can be said about a guy.

"He called him a gorilla; "It'll be a thriller and a cooler when I get the gorilla in Manila," and things like that.

"And for the rest of his life, he [Frazier] hated Muhammad Ali, hated him for the things he had said about him.

"This is not a good deal, it's a fight case, it was not the first time that stale things were being told to another person and that it would not be the last . "
