Khabib Nurmagomedov is heading into the Khabib vs Poirier match as an undefeated beast. With a win-loss streak of 27-0, no MMA fighter has ever been able to conquer Khabib. However, this time, he has a problem. And Poirier isn’t the problem! The looming threat of a McGregor rematch is what Khabib should be worried about.

Given that he defeated Conor McGregor at their last encounter in 2018, McGregor has since been looking for a rematch. It will be interesting to see what Khabib has to say in his post-match statements.
I can't handle Khabib/Poirier anymore. It needs to happen already.
