Fans call for Conor McGregor vs Khabib at heavyweight as new picture emerges of retired UFC legend

Published on January 02, 2023 at 05:43 PM

UFC fans have joked that rivals Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov should fight at HEAVYWEIGHT.

The pair faced off at lightweight in 2018 – with Khabib submitting the Irishman in the fourth round.

A picture of Khabib ringside at an event recently emerged on social media.

Meanwhile McGregor has shown off a stunning seven-year body transformation from a lean 145lb featherweight.

The 34-year-old regularly flexes his hulking muscles on social media.

And fans have called for the pair to come to blows once again – but at heavyweight – after seeing the snap of Khabib on Reddit.

One wrote: “He weighs the same as Conor. Khabib vs Conor at heavyweight.”;

Another said: “Him and Conor should rematch at HW [heavyweight].”;

And part of a third post read: “Him and Conor should just get set to fight for the heavyweight title.”;

McGregor is hoping to return to the octagon early this year after breaking his leg in his July 2021 trilogy with Dustin Poirier.

He said in October: “I’m going to be back soon, hopefully. Early 2023 I’m aiming for. Sometime in that first quarter.

The former two-weight champion confirmed online that his return bout would be at welterweight.

But fans are still hoping for a mega showdown with the retired Khabib at heavyweight one day.
