The gloves are about to come off in Abu Dhabi.

The legendary Khabib Nurmagomedov is all set to fight Dustin Poirier at UFC 242 in the capital in September and the buzz is real.

The huge news was confirmed in May, but there may be more to come after the President of the UFC Dana White teasingly suggested that McGregor (who was most recently defeated by Khabib) could turn up, according to ESPN via BJPENN.

“Yeah, he could”… “he could, possibly.”

While not denying it, White did tell the reporter that the infamous Irish fighter had not told White expressly that he would travel.
