Conor McGregor has huge demand shot down by Dana White as Khabib KO prediction is made
McGregor demanded that he be given equity in mixed martial arts’ premier organisation immediately after defeating Eddie Alvarez in the main event of UFC 205.
Many speculated that the UFC brass gave into the Irishman’s demand after his eagerly-anticipated comeback fight was announced earlier this month.

“He’s going to get stiffened in about a minute-and-a-half,” Gallagher said of Nurmagomedov in an interview with MMA Junkie.
“He’s going to rush in and try to get ahold of Conor. You can’t fire sloppy shots to try to close the distance.
“He’ll take one clean shot on the chin, and he’ll hit the floor.”
Conor McGregor - Kevin Lee predicts Khabib Nurmagomedov fight
UFC lightweight Kevin Lee reckons McGregor will either KO Nurmagomedov or will be dominated for five straight rounds at UFC 229.
"I think everyone's kind of saying the same thing,” ‘The Motown Phenom’ said during an appearance on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show.
“It's either Khabib's going to get slept or he will run him over. I'm more on the Khabib goin' get slept side.
“He doing the same things that he been doing for years and he making the same mistakes."
McGregor, 30, hasn't set foot inside the Octagon since claiming the lightweight title in the main event of UFC 205 victory over Alvarez, which saw him become the promotion's first simultaneous two-weight world champion.
He was relieved of the belt in April due to inactivity, which paved the way for Nurmagomedov to replace him atop of the lightweight division with a unanimous decision victory over Al Iaquinta at UFC 223.
