5 Reasons why we need a Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor rematch

#3 Chance for Khabib to cement his spot

Khabib Nurmagomedov can cement his place on top with another win over McGregor

For McGregor, it is important to prove everyone wrong. For Khabib Nurmagomedov, on the other hand, it is important to prove that his win over McGregor was not a fluke. Considering how dominant he was during the fight, many might not doubt Khabib’s skill-set, but at the same time, there were a lot of factors that worked in favor of the Russian.

McGregor was stepping into the cage after a long gap of two years and ring rust would’ve been a major factor that made McGregor fall. Similarly, McGregor is someone who learns from his mistakes meaning that he is most dangerous in a rematch and this was evident in the Nate Diaz case.

So if Khabib Nurmagomedov wants to cement his spot on top of the food chain and dethrone McGregor permanently, he needs to get another win over McGregor.
