Conor McGregor Vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov: Dana White on whether Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov can run into each other at Fight Island before UFC 257

Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov will be present inside the same facility around UFC 257. So, is there any chance that the two will run into each other?

The countdown for the Conor McGregor Vs. Dustin Poirier fight has begun and the excitement to witness this bout is seemingly spread all over the world. While the fight will certainly generate several headlines, there is a chance that in the run-up the biggest of the kind will take place.

Though, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier are the focal points of this entire third stint at fight Island but, there’s another huge MMA attraction by the name of Khabib Nurmagomedov, who will also be present there to run a few errands.

The Eagle will land in Fight Island to meet Dana White, and clarify whether he is up for another challenge or not. Moreover, Khabib’s cousin Umar Nurmagomedov is scheduled to fight on January 20, therefore he will probably include himself in his brother’s corner. So, with appointments due, Khabib is expected to stay at the place for some time, thus, what if in that limited time he will bump into his old rival, Conor McGregor. Is there any chance of that happening? Dana White answers.
